Speaker 1: Look. When the idea hit me that creativity is an addiction.
It came to me at a moment when it was like,
why do I not have any personal space and time
in my private life? And the answer that came to
my heart was because you're endlessly putting yourself in the
center of something creative, not just one thing. When people say, man,
you've done it all. Yeah, yeah, that's because I have
an addiction to creativity unplugged, because we will always say
yes to creativity totally uncut because we all make mistakes.
So turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged.
Oh we're going to do some cleaning today. We want
that heart to be purified, to feel good about you
being you in that mirror. There was a quote that
was on a new television series called Daisy Jones and
the Six and the quote is something that I've heard
a million times in my life, but when I heard
it watching it last night, it hit me harder than
any other time in my life. The quote was some
people don't know how lucky they are. My mother used
to use this phrase many, many, many times, and maybe
hearing it again last night was a personal reminder from
my mom to stay strong to remain in life without
being physically away, have that physical voice, have that hand
to hold. I do believe in the Yoda effect. I
didn't understand it at the end of Star Wars when
George Lucas featured Yoda, Obi Wan and Darth Vader standing
there tightly wrapped in a glow. Didn't understand it when
I was a kid. Feeling the force today means tapping
into the spirit of life after life, the strength of
those who were once walking with it. It doesn't come
with lightsabers and amazing talents to raise a spacecraft, but
in their own spirited way, the guides and keepers help
clear the way through another day. Some people just don't
know how lucky they are. Hey, Tzaro, this is the
daily Mess, a chronological walk through an everyday world. I
am a day, daily writer. I do not know how
lucky I am to be able to find enough space
to write throughout the day, especially in the morning. Three
pages in the morning don't have a limit in the
afternoon when I defrag. But I do not know how
lucky I am until we talk about it and we
realize it isn't even about that page. It's about where
these words grow beyond those speakers. This is the daily
mess who It is a frozen morning today, oh twenty
seven degrees, all set inside a brightly lit sunshine field
atmosphere of growing shadows. There's always a warm feeling of
calm when the temperature is below freezing. Placing myself in
its source of flow is what I call stand up meditation.
Walking through the forest at sunrise, lightly painted pink clouds
greet the imagination while the warmth of our air touches
the chilled atmosphere, turning it into a mist, a tiny
cloud that barely lasts a few seconds. What lives in
that universe? How fast is their time here then gone?
What lessons can be learned by this? Just taking a
moment to embrace a frozen path with the sunlight racing
to heal the human shivers. Stand up meditation, no legs crossed,
no humming involved, make yourself available to receive what's in
the universe, and then stepping into the comforts of handwriting.
I do wonder many times, and I'm probably being a
fool for thinking like this or just weird. Lord knows,
I've been accused of that my entire life. Just weird
when we hear things in a church or in a
business world, the Tony Robbins of the worlds when they
when they put out there a word a mess that
makes you go whoa who I felt that. Do you
write about it? Where do you go? Or do you
just highlight it in the book and say, I'll come
back to it another day. Those moments where you are frozen,
those moments when you are frozen twenty seven degrees or colder.
I've been in fifty two below zero weather. I know cold,
and I know how your nose sticks together if you
don't have it properly covered. But there are so many
people around us dropping these amazing quotes and we take
them in. It's like, oh, I needed that. But unless
you physically write the experience of receiving it and how
it's going to grow beyond you, you'll easily forget about it.
Tell me what you've heard this week so far? Did
you write about it? There's great joy in going back
into my writing, especially the DFRAG Journal, and seeing, oh, well,
this is where you were tripping up, this was your
trigg yesterday. I can see at this distance, you know,
twenty four hours later, I can see where things started
to stumble and crumble away. It's there, the experience, just
taking the time. Some people just don't know how lucky
they are. And I do feel lucky that I have
this desire to write. So why do I talk about
it all the time. Why wouldn't I want to share
the experience with you, to get you just to put
a thought down, put it on a posted note, if
you have to grab your smartphone and put it on
the smartphone, or put it inside the computer, just something
to come back to. That says WHOA. I'm still getting
hit by the power of that moment. You don't feel separated,
You feel like you're together. You don't feel like a
collection of several different walks and ways. You feel like
you're united with the several different personalities that you have
tucked away inside of you. And don't say you're the
same person every day. I don't believe in that theory.
But then again, who am I Let me go back
in my books and find out where all that started
to divide. Hi'm Maril, And that's the daily mess
