Sage: (continued) The “Clothes” are all of those things we wear to separate us from others… money, zip code, gender, orientation, race, gender. But what happens is that we have so much on that we are burdened by the weight of those “garments” and eventually can not even see ourselves. When we stand Naked, we are revealed, authentic and most importantly we get to see that you have the same stretch marks that I have.

Both the CD and the Short Films came from the same “God Voice”. Each time I would always tell the God Voice how I didn’t know how to do what it was asking and how I didn’t have any Money tondo it with… somehow, it always worked out.

Allié: For those wanting to do and be more to serve others, what advice would you give?

Sage: I try to see the human in everyone. I try to be kind. If you see someone who is hungry, it takes less effort to feed them than to judge them. If you see someone cold, it takes nothing to clothe them, if you see someone broken, it costs nothing to wish them a good day, a smile, a hello. I know that we are all connected and everyone and everything has importance. It is so much easier to love than it is to judge or hate. Just be kind. ∎
