Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged.
Chok in a movie last night. It's called Little Wings,
a film about a family, their struggles and how stealing
a pigeon worth one hundred thousand dollars would probably help
a family out to save their home. The girl gets
the pigeon, then the real story begins, meeting the person
that once owned the pigeon. I've always had birds in
my life, starting first with pigeons, so this story really
captivated my soul. I could relate with the man and
his giant coop up on top of the roof. One
of the most haunting scenes, though, was when it was
time to let go. The pigeons had to find a
new home because the owner was ill. Here's where it
gets really personal. I don't remember what happened to my pigeons,
getting married at the age of eighteen and then moving
to a completely different city. I don't remember if my
father said I've got this, I'll take care of the birds,
or did I shut the entrance to the coupop way
before I even graduated from high school. So what are
the real questions in your life? Subjects such as this,
what wasn't finished or stopped way too soon? Can you
get back to it? Hey, Saro, This is the daily mess,
A chronological walk through in everyday world. I am a
daily writer, the silent wolf. I sit on the outside
and I observe. I listen, I study, I dig in
and find out more things. Then we have a conversation.
This is the daily mess. In every challenge and change,
there is an adventure. It may not be fun and
filled with exciting discoveries, but there's always something new to
take in and build upon. Being not open with all
things unexpected makes the day all that more important. The
majority of the time, we push ourselves away from the
walls and mountains because things aren't going our way, so
we elect to not change. Now comes the challenge. Now
the adventure begins not in game form, but a willingness
to be present, so that when it happens again, you're
better prepared and filled with enough courage to keep pushing
your way through those walls and mountains. Do all you
can to stay aware of the situation, study its presence,
and how you and others take it on. It's a positive.
Do you see it as a new answer to an
old question? Is there reason to keep it fresh and renewed?
Because in all changes and challenges, there's always going to
be an adventure. And I think that's the reason why
I daily write, because it's never the same day twice,
and if I am asking the same questions, then that
means the answer is getting closer and closer to me.
But in every challenge, there's going to be change, and
in that change there is adventure. I always tell people
I don't have a job, I don't go to work.
I make a choice to be someplace. And what happens
is if I get in that mood where I just
don't want to go go, then I'm making bad choices.
You see the difference here in challenge and change, there's
always going to be an adventure. Look forward to it
and remember you've always got a choice. I'm Merril, and
that's the daily mess.
