Forget having a career, ever being able to walk again.
I remember being sat there and seeing like a pigeon sat on the windowsill of this NHS hospital.
And being almost moved to tears by its beauty.
It sounds, maybe it sounds crazy, but maybe you can relate to what I'm saying.
Where you're just like, man, I did nothing to deserve that pigeon coming to visit me.

They're like a little bit green and red and you're getting seen the sunlight shine off of it.

I was just absolutely blown away by this.
animal this wild animal that was there and I felt this sense of such humility and gratitude and I've always believed ever since then it's when you're brought to your knees that you're halfway towards praying it brings you closer to the love in the universe and I went on a real journey and that's when I kind of really started meditating in earnest I had this kind of crazy crazy journey where
I had to kind of almost grieve and let go of my life the way I thought it would be.

desperately trying to get the nurse's attention because I can't get out to go to the toilet and I don't want to wet the bed.
My life is just, it couldn't be more different to what people are perceiving it to be.
