Tale: Serendipity, Surrender, and “God Winks”

Fate as we know it sometimes lies beyond our means of understanding, and surfaces at just the right moment in our lives. Soon after I had the vision to create this podcast, I came in contact with Greg Davis, in a series of serendipitous events. His story was so compelling and deeply touching, I knew I needed to interview him. This conversation was my first-ever interview. Last November, I spoke candidly with Greg about loss, love, faith, and purpose. We talk about struggle, surrender and the dance with each of those lessons along his path, and how he followed the “god winks” that eventually led him to achieve his dream of becoming a National Geographic Photographer and Filmmaker. This conversation is one of my favorites to date because it’s just that - a conversation. Greg is incredibly forthcoming and relatable and we dive into some deep waters; laughs, tears and wisdom that will inevitably leave you feeling connected to all that is. Greg’s most recent project took him to India where he attended the world’s largest spiritual pilgrimage, India’s Kumbh Mela. For millennia, every twelfth year, millions of devoted pilgrims have gathered at the confluence of the three holiest rivers. It was from this journey, that this twenty-four piece photographic exhibition and two short films were born – most recently, one called The Man from Mathura. Greg’s fate currently lies in the blue and green hands of a Black Hmong Villager from the northern highlands of Vietnam.
