Hart Voice Overs

Sailing is my passion in life (well, aside from raising my son and enjoying being daddy).  Voiceover and audio production are how I finance it.   I recently took my first overnight sailing trip of 2010.

It’s wonderful out there and sailing solo is a very spiritual experience for me.  The Celtic religion believes in a concept known as “thin places.” According to the Thin Places website:

In simple terms a ‘thin place’ is a place where the veil between this world and the Other world is thin, the Other world is more near.  This meaning assumes the perceiver senses the existence of a world beyond  what we know through our five senses.

The Celts believed that thin places were locations on this earth that allowed them to be closer to their god.  These spiritual places exist not only in churches but all around us.  Some believe that Stonehenge was built on one such “thin” place.

The seas are my “thin” place.  When I’m sailing I have time to meditate, reflect on my life – both where I’ve been and where I want to go.  Being on the water gives me the time to remember what is really important in my life and what isn’t.  Sailing revitalizes my spirit, rejuvenates my soul, and reinvigorates my passion for life.  It puts me more in touch with myself and my beliefs and spirituality.   I’d say that’s a great definition of a “thin” place.
