"Every moment is its own universe. Each moment brings with it a new birth, a new opportunity to live, to turn back, to renew. Each moment is a new chance to get it right.

And with each moment is also a death. Let the past die. If you messed up yesterday, that universe is already dead and gone. Right now is your new reality. Capture it, before it dies."

Poetry by Yasmin Mogahed, from her book Love & Happiness

"Every now and then life says
Where do you think you're going so fast
We're apt to think it cruel but sometimes
It's a case of cruel to be kind

If we'd only open our eyes
We'd see the blessings in disguise
That all the rain clouds are fountains
Though our troubles seem like mountains

There's gold in them hills
So don't lose heart
Give the day a chance to start

A word or two, my friend
There's no telling how the day might end
And we'll never know until we see

There's gold in them hills"

– From Gold in Them Hills by Ron Sexsmith and Chris Martin

"In the mindset of a traveler, there is a natural detachment that comes with the realization that something is only temporary. This worldly life, the dunia, is just like the ocean. And our hearts are the ships. We can use the ocean for our needs and as a means to get to our final destination.

Of course, detachment does not mean that we do not own things or interact with this world. On the contrary, we build this world and give back even more than we take.

The essence of detachment is that of the heart. It's the realization, and manifestation, of what dunia really is: a means to an End."

Zane Callister, the man behind Young Collective moniker, is an artist whose music resonates with me. After featuring him in several mixes, I decided to do him justice by dedicating an entire mix to the gift he brings to this world.

More than a composer, he is a storyteller. He uses music as a medium to create immersive and emotional experiences for his listeners, something I aspire to do in this show as well.

In this interview, Zane describes his creative process when scoring films or creating sync licensing pieces. I watched the interview after completing this mix, and it was a pleasant coincidence to hear him speak of how he would score a scene from one of my favorite TV shows, This Is Us. In this mix, you'll hear Zane's song, It Started With Silence, mixed around 2 pieces from the soundtrack to that show, which also happens to be one of my favorite soundtracks of all time too created by the brilliant Siddhartha Khosla.

Check out Zane's Young Collective music wherever you get your music. If you have a film project, check out his sync license music on MusicBed.

I recently re-watched the record-setting supersonic, freefall jump that Felix Baumgartner performed in October of 2012 from 39 km high up in space. The words he uttered before taking the leap of faith resonated with me:

"I know the whole world is watching, and I wish the whole world could see what I see. Sometimes you have to go up really high to understand how small you really are."

I started thinking about the type of everyday moments that we just might look at differently if we could see them from "space". Then I came across this inspirational post by Sahil Bloom that succinctly put my thoughts in words:

"Important Rule for Life: When in doubt, zoom out. Being perpetually zoomed-in creates two challenges: struggle feels bigger than it really is, and growth feels smaller than it really is.

I hope this mix inspires us to appreciate the bigger context of our everyday moments and to "time travel" to the past or future to observe the present through that new lens. Perhaps that would reveal the manageable nature of our struggles or the impressive nature of our growth.

"There is a place nothing compares to but we only know
With a meaning so special
A place that was meant for more than we know
By the lighthouse on the hill we opened a door to a different world
Leaving everything behind
Just you and I
Open up your eyes"
