1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction. It takes over your life, whether

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:06,440
you're craving it from somebody else or you're trying to

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,919
get it out of you because it feels so heavy

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,199
and it's just irritating the hell out of you. How

5
00:00:11,199 --> 00:00:14,679
do we get it out? Unplugged because we will always

6
00:00:14,679 --> 00:00:17,920
say yes to creativity, totally uncut, because we all make mistakes,

7
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,280
turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged. I've

8
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,920
always wondered if regular, real people on the other side

9
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:30,160
of this microphone care about what takes place before we

10
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,359
open the microphone. I make a lot of noises I do.

11
00:00:33,679 --> 00:00:36,280
It's just one of those things. Is it's like a child,

12
00:00:36,679 --> 00:00:39,640
a child that's playing with toys and he's got to

13
00:00:39,679 --> 00:00:41,880
hurry up and put them away because morning we'll get here,

14
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,359
and mom and dad don't want him to have those

15
00:00:43,399 --> 00:00:48,320
toys just yet. Every bit present, which means what to

16
00:00:48,399 --> 00:00:52,320
a traveler meeting others in a past that they keep rewriting.

17
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,960
To be present doesn't mean wearing a sign that reads

18
00:00:56,039 --> 00:01:01,159
I'm here. It's me I'm here. It's knowing where here

19
00:01:01,479 --> 00:01:05,920
is and why here shares a certain importance in the

20
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:10,159
presence of what is right now. Too many people abuse

21
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,079
the words or term I'm here, I'm here. How you

22
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:18,439
doing today? I'm here? Well? Where is here? Why does

23
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,920
it feel like a negative more than a positive? It

24
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,400
should be a giving sense of direction. They've turned here

25
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,400
into a wrecking ball that keeps hitting the soul in

26
00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:31,719
ways that damage other people's ambitions. If here isn't your

27
00:01:31,799 --> 00:01:35,120
happy place, where would you rather be? And does it

28
00:01:35,159 --> 00:01:40,079
carry the same outreach? Being here is in the moment.

29
00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:43,480
Nobody says that you have to love it or take

30
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,319
it on like a challenger. Be every bit present, find

31
00:01:47,359 --> 00:01:51,040
yourself in an area not yet written. And no, you

32
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:57,400
can't return it to Amazon. I'm here, so pet peeve,

33
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,719
why can't you just say I'm here? Oh, I'm here.

34
00:02:02,599 --> 00:02:07,959
I am in the presence of now and we own it. Hey, haro.

35
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:09,879
This is the daily mess, a chronological walk through in

36
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,280
everyday world. I am a daily writer. See the pride

37
00:02:13,319 --> 00:02:17,039
I put into that. I am a daily writer. I

38
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,199
want you to do something like that in your life.

39
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:25,039
I am pa Boom because it gives you direction, It

40
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,840
puts you in this place of right now. This is

41
00:02:29,039 --> 00:02:34,080
the daily mess. Doing all we can to dismiss ourselves

42
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,039
from the daily headlines. It's at the point of being

43
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:41,800
okay without knowing, and then shouting out, don't tell me God.

44
00:02:41,879 --> 00:02:44,080
I would love to live in a small town where

45
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,520
the residents they have no internet connection, and the local

46
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,080
newspaper is delivered maybe once a week if you're lucky.

47
00:02:51,759 --> 00:02:54,800
The price of fuel being so high, the paper boy

48
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,719
can't get his dan car up the mountain side. You

49
00:02:56,759 --> 00:02:59,840
may have to wait two weeks for that newspaper. How

50
00:03:00,039 --> 00:03:05,159
would we live inside such a society knowing less? Would

51
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,479
we be lost? Or would we find comfort? Our innocence

52
00:03:09,759 --> 00:03:12,120
ends the moment that we open our eyes. There it

53
00:03:12,199 --> 00:03:16,199
is that big old world. We got to escape it,

54
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,039
just for a few minutes or maybe even hours. But

55
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,680
oh we're back. How do we get back to La

56
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,039
La Land? I mean, Dorothy never saw Oz again, yet

57
00:03:24,039 --> 00:03:27,240
we keep watching The Wizard of Oz over and over again.

58
00:03:27,439 --> 00:03:31,960
What are we looking for? Why is Dorothy not interested?

59
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,479
She's dismissing herself from the daily headlines, and I think

60
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:43,159
she's winning. Her and that dog named Toto doing all

61
00:03:43,199 --> 00:03:48,319
we can to dismiss ourselves from the daily headlines. I try,

62
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,360
I really do try, But when I wake up each morning,

63
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,599
I'm no different than my father was with his morning paper,

64
00:03:53,639 --> 00:03:56,879
the Billing's Gazette. He would open it up and you

65
00:03:56,879 --> 00:04:00,520
would hear him grumble. Same thing with me. I get

66
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,120
on my smartphone and I go to CNN dot com,

67
00:04:03,159 --> 00:04:05,759
then Fox dot com, and then NBC dot com. I

68
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,560
go to every dot com there is available, changing, evolving,

69
00:04:10,199 --> 00:04:13,120
growing in a direction that I really can't do anything about,

70
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,319
but I just want to know about it. Doing all

71
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,759
we can to dismiss ourselves from the daily headlines. I

72
00:04:20,759 --> 00:04:22,959
think one of the most peaceful times I've ever enjoyed

73
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,079
was when I was studying the words of Julia Cameron,

74
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,199
who gave us The Artist Way, The Vein of Gold,

75
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,759
and so many other beautiful books. And in those chapters,

76
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,920
she challenged us to have reading deprivation, to step free

77
00:04:36,079 --> 00:04:38,759
of the headlines. Could we do it for seven days?

78
00:04:39,079 --> 00:04:41,920
And I did. It took me about four days to

79
00:04:41,959 --> 00:04:45,079
get through the storms because I wanted to know. But

80
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,639
we're always in search of the easter egg. We want

81
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,680
to know what's being dropped in society so that we

82
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,240
can expect something to happen a little bit later on,

83
00:04:54,439 --> 00:04:57,759
the question is do you need those Easter eggs? Do

84
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,120
you need those headlines. Did you need to know what

85
00:05:01,319 --> 00:05:04,560
was going on on the north side of town? You're

86
00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:06,839
long ways away from that, but yet you feel like

87
00:05:06,959 --> 00:05:12,319
it's poisoning your soul for the day, dismissing ourselves from

88
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,639
the daily headlines. What happens if our heart and our

89
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,759
head create their own headlines and we have to live

90
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,120
off from what it is delivering to the rest of

91
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,319
our system of choice? Are we bringing all of those

92
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,079
headlines to a place that doesn't need it? And how

93
00:05:31,079 --> 00:05:35,160
do we stop ourselves from guilt tripping, shaming, feeling sorry

94
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:40,240
for and basically feeling like we've been left out? We

95
00:05:40,399 --> 00:05:45,120
are the media ourselves. We create our own stories. We

96
00:05:45,199 --> 00:05:46,920
just don't have anything to back it up except for

97
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:51,000
those feelings that we want to change, but we don't

98
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,600
because there's something about what we're doing that needs that

99
00:05:55,759 --> 00:06:01,000
fuel to keep pushing forward. I daily write it's not

100
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,319
for everybody because it's a chore meditation the same thing.

101
00:06:05,519 --> 00:06:09,480
It's not for everybody because it takes a lot of work.

102
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:14,959
It takes years to fine tune the escape. So I

103
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,160
ask you where do you go to breathe? Is it

104
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,839
the front seat of the car with the music really loud?

105
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,480
Do it again four or five times a day. Is

106
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,879
it going into the bathroom at work and just putting

107
00:06:28,879 --> 00:06:31,360
your hands over your face and going, why Lord, why

108
00:06:32,639 --> 00:06:37,680
do it? Let it out? Get rid of the headlines,

109
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,360
the noisemakers. It's a lot of work, but you can

110
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,560
do it. I'm arrow, and that's the daily mess.
