1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,520
Speaker 1: Look. When the idea hit me that creativity is an addiction.

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:04,480
It came to me at a moment when it was like,

3
00:00:04,639 --> 00:00:07,879
why do I not have any personal space and time

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,400
in my private life? And the answer that came to

5
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,199
my heart was because you're endlessly putting yourself in the

6
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:17,679
center of something creative, not just one thing. When people say, man,

7
00:00:17,719 --> 00:00:20,719
you've done it all. Yeah, yeah, that's because I have

8
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,359
an addiction to creativity unplugged, because we will always say

9
00:00:24,399 --> 00:00:27,359
yes to creativity totally uncut because we all make mistakes.

10
00:00:27,519 --> 00:00:30,920
So turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged.

11
00:00:31,199 --> 00:00:33,079
Oh we're going to do some cleaning today. We want

12
00:00:33,079 --> 00:00:35,640
that heart to be purified, to feel good about you

13
00:00:36,119 --> 00:00:39,000
being you in that mirror. There was a quote that

14
00:00:39,079 --> 00:00:41,679
was on a new television series called Daisy Jones and

15
00:00:41,679 --> 00:00:43,560
the Six and the quote is something that I've heard

16
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,600
a million times in my life, but when I heard

17
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,399
it watching it last night, it hit me harder than

18
00:00:49,439 --> 00:00:52,719
any other time in my life. The quote was some

19
00:00:52,759 --> 00:00:56,359
people don't know how lucky they are. My mother used

20
00:00:56,399 --> 00:01:00,759
to use this phrase many, many, many times, and maybe

21
00:01:00,759 --> 00:01:03,960
hearing it again last night was a personal reminder from

22
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:09,000
my mom to stay strong to remain in life without

23
00:01:09,079 --> 00:01:14,480
being physically away, have that physical voice, have that hand

24
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,680
to hold. I do believe in the Yoda effect. I

25
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,840
didn't understand it at the end of Star Wars when

26
00:01:20,879 --> 00:01:24,760
George Lucas featured Yoda, Obi Wan and Darth Vader standing

27
00:01:24,799 --> 00:01:27,239
there tightly wrapped in a glow. Didn't understand it when

28
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,239
I was a kid. Feeling the force today means tapping

29
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,760
into the spirit of life after life, the strength of

30
00:01:35,799 --> 00:01:39,239
those who were once walking with it. It doesn't come

31
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,519
with lightsabers and amazing talents to raise a spacecraft, but

32
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,239
in their own spirited way, the guides and keepers help

33
00:01:47,359 --> 00:01:50,799
clear the way through another day. Some people just don't

34
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:56,640
know how lucky they are. Hey, Tzaro, this is the

35
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,319
daily Mess, a chronological walk through an everyday world. I

36
00:01:59,359 --> 00:02:01,680
am a day, daily writer. I do not know how

37
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,799
lucky I am to be able to find enough space

38
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,879
to write throughout the day, especially in the morning. Three

39
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,680
pages in the morning don't have a limit in the

40
00:02:13,719 --> 00:02:16,879
afternoon when I defrag. But I do not know how

41
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,759
lucky I am until we talk about it and we

42
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,800
realize it isn't even about that page. It's about where

43
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:28,879
these words grow beyond those speakers. This is the daily

44
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:33,000
mess who It is a frozen morning today, oh twenty

45
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,840
seven degrees, all set inside a brightly lit sunshine field

46
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,960
atmosphere of growing shadows. There's always a warm feeling of

47
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,479
calm when the temperature is below freezing. Placing myself in

48
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,039
its source of flow is what I call stand up meditation.

49
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,960
Walking through the forest at sunrise, lightly painted pink clouds

50
00:02:56,199 --> 00:02:59,439
greet the imagination while the warmth of our air touches

51
00:02:59,479 --> 00:03:03,560
the chilled atmosphere, turning it into a mist, a tiny

52
00:03:03,599 --> 00:03:07,919
cloud that barely lasts a few seconds. What lives in

53
00:03:08,039 --> 00:03:14,639
that universe? How fast is their time here then gone?

54
00:03:15,759 --> 00:03:18,919
What lessons can be learned by this? Just taking a

55
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:23,759
moment to embrace a frozen path with the sunlight racing

56
00:03:23,759 --> 00:03:29,599
to heal the human shivers. Stand up meditation, no legs crossed,

57
00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:35,800
no humming involved, make yourself available to receive what's in

58
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,039
the universe, and then stepping into the comforts of handwriting.

59
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,479
I do wonder many times, and I'm probably being a

60
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,840
fool for thinking like this or just weird. Lord knows,

61
00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:51,439
I've been accused of that my entire life. Just weird

62
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,960
when we hear things in a church or in a

63
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,639
business world, the Tony Robbins of the worlds when they

64
00:03:57,719 --> 00:04:00,680
when they put out there a word a mess that

65
00:04:00,719 --> 00:04:05,919
makes you go whoa who I felt that. Do you

66
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,560
write about it? Where do you go? Or do you

67
00:04:08,599 --> 00:04:10,400
just highlight it in the book and say, I'll come

68
00:04:10,439 --> 00:04:14,639
back to it another day. Those moments where you are frozen,

69
00:04:14,919 --> 00:04:18,120
those moments when you are frozen twenty seven degrees or colder.

70
00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:22,279
I've been in fifty two below zero weather. I know cold,

71
00:04:22,519 --> 00:04:25,680
and I know how your nose sticks together if you

72
00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:29,199
don't have it properly covered. But there are so many

73
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:34,240
people around us dropping these amazing quotes and we take

74
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:39,000
them in. It's like, oh, I needed that. But unless

75
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,240
you physically write the experience of receiving it and how

76
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,839
it's going to grow beyond you, you'll easily forget about it.

77
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,399
Tell me what you've heard this week so far? Did

78
00:04:49,439 --> 00:04:52,959
you write about it? There's great joy in going back

79
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,920
into my writing, especially the DFRAG Journal, and seeing, oh, well,

80
00:04:57,959 --> 00:04:59,720
this is where you were tripping up, this was your

81
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,959
trigg yesterday. I can see at this distance, you know,

82
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,680
twenty four hours later, I can see where things started

83
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:10,160
to stumble and crumble away. It's there, the experience, just

84
00:05:10,199 --> 00:05:13,319
taking the time. Some people just don't know how lucky

85
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,160
they are. And I do feel lucky that I have

86
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,279
this desire to write. So why do I talk about

87
00:05:20,319 --> 00:05:22,319
it all the time. Why wouldn't I want to share

88
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,560
the experience with you, to get you just to put

89
00:05:25,639 --> 00:05:29,000
a thought down, put it on a posted note, if

90
00:05:29,079 --> 00:05:31,600
you have to grab your smartphone and put it on

91
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,879
the smartphone, or put it inside the computer, just something

92
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:40,160
to come back to. That says WHOA. I'm still getting

93
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:45,560
hit by the power of that moment. You don't feel separated,

94
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,639
You feel like you're together. You don't feel like a

95
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,319
collection of several different walks and ways. You feel like

96
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,439
you're united with the several different personalities that you have

97
00:05:55,519 --> 00:05:57,839
tucked away inside of you. And don't say you're the

98
00:05:57,879 --> 00:06:00,480
same person every day. I don't believe in that theory.

99
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,279
But then again, who am I Let me go back

100
00:06:03,319 --> 00:06:05,319
in my books and find out where all that started

101
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,560
to divide. Hi'm Maril, And that's the daily mess
