1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,319
Speaker 1: It's zero. This is vocal d frag. Walking in this

2
00:00:03,359 --> 00:00:06,240
forest in South Charlotte, North Carolina, on a beautiful fall day,

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:11,960
fifty four degrees, golden leaves, red leaves, oranges, browns. It's gorgeous.

4
00:00:12,199 --> 00:00:14,759
There's so much change going on, and you know, why

5
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:16,559
wouldn't you want to do a d frag with all

6
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,280
this change? Because sometimes you have to look at yourself

7
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,160
in the mirror and say, you know what, mother nature changes,

8
00:00:23,199 --> 00:00:26,280
why can't I. That's why you have to ask the questions,

9
00:00:26,879 --> 00:00:31,879
question the answers. This is vocal d frag. The journey

10
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:37,000
to think about is the documentation of your personal expectations

11
00:00:37,119 --> 00:00:41,399
as well as your personal experiences, documenting it as it

12
00:00:41,399 --> 00:00:43,880
comes to you. But a lot of people don't do that,

13
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,960
and the reason why is because we're always questioning why

14
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,600
something is happening. Even if it's a beautiful day. It's like, oh,

15
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,240
don't go there, don't go there. I don't have beautiful

16
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,320
days every day. I'm just gonna savor this moment. I'm

17
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,119
gonna call it my own, but I'm not going to

18
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,000
learn anything from it so I can get back here again.

19
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,640
Sometimes you got to have breadcrumbs, You got to be

20
00:01:03,679 --> 00:01:07,079
in a situation where the goal and the deed in

21
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,519
life is to document as it was received. And I

22
00:01:11,519 --> 00:01:15,799
got this idea today from doing my own handwritten vocal

23
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,640
d frag and that is, I do it in a

24
00:01:17,719 --> 00:01:20,359
journal and then we do it here. But I got

25
00:01:20,359 --> 00:01:24,280
the idea because there are so many things that happen

26
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,120
inside this forest, and I've always said, this isn't my voice,

27
00:01:28,719 --> 00:01:32,359
this is the voice of this forest. And if I

28
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,560
didn't take the time to document it as it was happening,

29
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,319
then all it is is based on a true story.

30
00:01:40,439 --> 00:01:43,000
It's based on it because if I got back home

31
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,680
out of this forest, away from this fifty four degree

32
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,680
cloudy day, one of the chances that I would even

33
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,719
remember what hit me while listening to the breeze inside

34
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:57,079
these trees, watching these leaves fall like snowflakes, except instead

35
00:01:57,079 --> 00:02:02,280
of beautiful white, it's beautiful reds, oranges, browns, every color

36
00:02:02,319 --> 00:02:05,400
that fall loves to share. So I turned to you

37
00:02:05,519 --> 00:02:10,199
and I ask, why aren't you documenting things as they happen.

38
00:02:10,439 --> 00:02:13,759
It doesn't take too much to pull out a digital

39
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,039
device and put yourself in a moment to where you

40
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:21,840
can come back to it and say, yeah, I felt

41
00:02:21,879 --> 00:02:24,560
the chill of that breeze when I was just walking

42
00:02:24,599 --> 00:02:27,199
through the park. Yeah, when I was at the mall,

43
00:02:27,719 --> 00:02:32,080
all these people around me, I didn't feel alone. But

44
00:02:32,199 --> 00:02:33,840
this is what it's like to be in a modern

45
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,680
day situation. Because you documented it, you learn from it.

46
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:41,240
Like right now, the leaves are twisting and turning like

47
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,680
little baby tornadoes in front of me because they're dancing

48
00:02:44,759 --> 00:02:48,199
and they're having a great time. They're free from the

49
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,159
tree that held onto them through a very hot summer.

50
00:02:51,599 --> 00:02:54,879
Now that it's fall, they're old enough to say, I'm

51
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,159
on my own, let me just go play, Let me

52
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,120
go live with a squirrel, maybe a snakel cuddle up

53
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,879
to me. But you see, you what I mean. This

54
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,520
is everything that is going on in this moment of now,

55
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:10,319
But what's going on in your moment of now? Because

56
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,120
if you get home or you get to work and

57
00:03:13,159 --> 00:03:14,960
you're trying to share it with a friend or a

58
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,759
family member, it's based on a true story. When you

59
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,400
could have captured it in the moment of now. Ask

60
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,759
yourself the questions, question the answers. Your greatest questions will

61
00:03:27,759 --> 00:03:30,479
always come at you at the weirdest, most odd bad

62
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,400
times because you don't want to take the time to

63
00:03:32,439 --> 00:03:35,039
answer it in that moment because you might be surrounded

64
00:03:35,039 --> 00:03:37,560
by co workers, you might be at a restaurant, you

65
00:03:37,639 --> 00:03:40,360
might be at a concert. But if you just take

66
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:45,280
the time to ask the question, then come back with

67
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,479
the potential of there being an answer, or you can

68
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,240
have the answer on the spot and begin your journey

69
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,879
of growth right there. It doesn't have to take too

70
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,639
long to ask a question and then question the answer.

71
00:03:59,319 --> 00:04:02,560
You just gotta be pre I call it vocal d fragging

72
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:04,960
once again. I keep a journal, which I've been doing

73
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,800
since November twenty seventeen, and we vocal d frag because

74
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,800
you get to hear the pitch, volume, and tone. You

75
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,879
put yourself back into that situation, and it's not based

76
00:04:15,479 --> 00:04:18,360
on a true story him Maril, and that's vocal d

77
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:18,759
frag
