Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction. The greatest salespeople on the planet
are very creative minds. Your dentist is a creative spirit.
Everything around us is brought forward through the act of creativity.
We want what they've got. Are you willing to share
with them? 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. I write in
a forest. I go to these forests to do nothing
but listen. What started at the Billygraham Library in two
thousand and five, right here in Charlotte, North Carolina, has
evolved into a lifelong commitment and journey. Something is always
moving through each and every one of us. It's our calling.
These aren't my words. These are the lyrics from Billy's Forest,
Chapter number three hundred thirty one. August thirtieth, twenty twenty two.
McDowell Park, Chilli Morning, expanding its reach at what will
become a ninety degree day, such a play on the
mind and body. Within a matter of hours, the temperature
moves up thirty plus degrees, and all living things have
got to adapt to the atmosphere. We watched a fuzzy
caterpillar scamper with great speed on the forest floor. They're
always on the move. With it being so early in
the day, they must know that in a matter of
hours that place they're trying to seek could cook them.
This tiny insect carries with it an amazing array of
spiritual purpose. A positive transformation is on the way. The
goal is to use your senses wisely. They are very
powerful with intuition. The caterpillar has got two antennas that
are constantly aware of what's nearby or what's approaching. Now,
as humans, we don't have such tools, but that doesn't
stop us from physically viewing the world with our two
eyes locked in on what is real and what is
being created in our head and heart, that wishful thought,
that hope. Thank you, mister or missus caterpillar for stopping
by my day. I love watching animals, being in this
forest in South Charlotte, North Carolina, or being at McDowell Park.
I'm blessed with the opportunity to find the time to
just watch the animals and then to look up their
spiritual stories to make a connection with their journeys. There's
so many lessons of life around us, But we choose
to squish the bugs, we choose to run away from
the spiders, or if we see a snake. First thing
most people want to do. They want to chop off
their head. But it's their world, it's not yours. We
are the visitors. We think that we're taking over this,
when in fact they were here long before us. This
forest is constantly going in its own walk and way.
I'm just a passer by. I get to document it.
I'm invited to this place of peace, when in fact
it may not be. I shared with a friend yesterday.
We look at these greats in sports, in music, in movies,
on television. We see them as who we think they are.
But as I told my friend yesterday, we don't know
what goes on inside their home. We don't know them,
just as much as I didn't know the caterpillar. I
don't know why they were moving so quickly, because usually
a caterpillar is just whistling away. At least I assume
maybe that's not true. I've never been inside their home.
I'm eryl. These are not my words, these are the
lyrics from Billy's Forest
