00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,799
Speaker 1: Stream thinking. It's learning how to trust what is in

2
00:00:02,839 --> 00:00:06,040
your present place of all things right now. To get

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:09,880
there requires practice. Here's what I do one sheet of

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:14,160
paper a day, just ten minutes, write about whatever is

5
00:00:14,199 --> 00:00:17,440
moving through your presence of all things right now, with

6
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:22,559
absolutely no judgment. Stream thinking sharpens your skills as a listener,

7
00:00:23,199 --> 00:00:27,440
as a communicator, and as an activator. It's learning how

8
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:32,520
to trust what is right now. This is stream thinking today.

9
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,039
We're reading from December seventh, twenty twenty four, looking at

10
00:00:36,039 --> 00:00:38,759
the lyrics of a guy by the name of Bob Dylan,

11
00:00:39,719 --> 00:00:43,359
heavily inspired by the biopic in theaters A Complete Unknown,

12
00:00:43,399 --> 00:00:48,359
starring Timothy Chalomy as Dylan. Here's this man, this singer

13
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,039
songwriter position that Challo May has got to put himself in,

14
00:00:52,439 --> 00:00:55,039
and he does a brilliant job of doing things the

15
00:00:55,079 --> 00:00:58,359
way that he sees it and hears it and openly.

16
00:00:58,359 --> 00:01:02,439
Timothy Schallamey admits that there were moments and movements, and

17
00:01:02,479 --> 00:01:05,200
they had to begin with the writing instrument, to which

18
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:09,640
he challenged writers and critics who prophesie with their pins

19
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,120
to keep open their eyes and make sure they're wide open,

20
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,359
because the chance won't come around again. But don't speak

21
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,560
too soon. The wheels are constantly spinning, and there's no

22
00:01:21,719 --> 00:01:26,000
telling who that name is going to be for the

23
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:33,719
times they are always changing. Embrace, don't be silent. I

24
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,640
love it when people talk about the power of the

25
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,920
writing instrument. I just celebrated my fifth anniversary and an

26
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,480
essential job that I picked up during the lockdown because

27
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,920
I wanted to be with people, and in doing so,

28
00:01:45,239 --> 00:01:47,719
I had to put myself out there in front of

29
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,719
other people. An essential job that meant, hey, look, COVID

30
00:01:51,799 --> 00:01:54,599
nineteen is the real deal. What are you going to

31
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,599
do in order to embrace that moment and still get

32
00:01:57,599 --> 00:02:00,959
your fix on being with people? I went to a

33
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,159
grocery store and so the fifth anniversary of that, they

34
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,000
gave me. What a writing instrument. So when someone like

35
00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:10,599
Timothy Shalomy talks about a writing instrument and knows of

36
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,039
the power of the pan, it's moments like that that

37
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,280
I bring it to you just so I can say,

38
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,080
this is the key, this rite, here is the magic lyric.

39
00:02:19,479 --> 00:02:22,080
This is that moment where you get to say, I

40
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,039
just found my way to the inside. I'm Meryl, And

41
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,120
that's stream thinking
