Arroe Unplugged Page Eight Hundred Ninety Nine

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
We got to collaborate. Each and every one of us
have got to get together with our creativity, whether it's
newly born or it's something you've done for a long time.
The only way we can get beyond this COVID nineteen.
We've got to work together with our creativity. We've got
to share. It's time to do it unplugged because we
will always say yes to creativity, totally uncut, because we

(00:20):
all make mistakes, So turn it into a tool. This
is arrow unplugged. If you can only see this studio,
some people will probably see a bunch of nothing, and
yet everything inside this studio is worth something to my heart.
We all have places like this. How do you protect yours?

(00:40):
How do you know where to go when you have
that moment of oh boy. If you could just see
this room, it's not pretty, but yet in my eyes,
it's beautiful. This is where I go to create, this
is where I'm called to build. There are so many things, hey,
items in this room that carry more weight than I

(01:03):
even weigh. Where's your place? Your room? You know that
zone where you find your zin, where you know that
when you step within, there's going to be something there
that's going to say welcome. If you could just see
this room, there's memories in everything here. Ninety nine point

(01:25):
nine percent of it should be in the trash can,
but I just can't let go. This is my room,
or as I used to call it, the womb, womb,
the birth of creativity. Hey zerol, this is the daily mess,

(01:45):
a chronological walk through in everyday world. I am a
daily writer every day, pin in the hand paper and
you free form think, you stream think. You just let
it go whatever's in that moment, and you can't judge it,
because that's part of freeform thinking is that you allow
yourself to be a part of the universe. It's like
being a seed in the wind, and some days there

(02:07):
are a lot of gusts, and other days it's like,
oh boy, I think I'm laying here on a desert floor.
Living in the presence of now means listening to what
is going on now. This is the daily mess, the
evolution of change without reverting back to the days and
moments where change was actually the first step and the

(02:27):
first seed. I want to say that again because I
don't want to trip or trigger you, but I know
you're going through this. I know you are the evolution
of change without reverting back to the days and moments
to where change was the first step and the first seed.
My school teacher wife is working remotely today. That means

(02:50):
she's in her studio in the other room. Now here's
the thing. Instantly, I have been sent backwards to March
of twenty twenty. Instantly, the COVID nineteen lockdown has re
entered my soul. Instantly, I am reminded of the heavy
anxiety that we both went through. Instantly, we were out
of touch until we began to recognize the true reality.

(03:17):
I just keep telling myself today it's not twenty twenty.
I've had my vaccine and she is fully vaccinated. We
aren't in lockdown. Yes, there is enough toilet paper in
the house, COVID nineteen PTSD and all that comes with it.
I was with doctor Jennifer Ashton from Good Morning America yesterday.

(03:38):
You know what she said. Everybody has a situation and
most are wearing it and it doesn't look well. Yeah.
She's got a new book. It's called The New Normal,
And in all honesty, it can easily fit into your
sudden trips backwards. A spouse remotely working at home shouldn't

(04:00):
be a trigger, nor should having dinner on the front porch,
just like we did in March of twenty twenty. Learning
to recognize the effects of change starts with writing, now,
why would I bring that to you today? Why would
I want to talk about the evolution of change without
reverting back to the days and moments where change was

(04:22):
the first step in the first seed. Because we're all
being triggered, but not all of us are willing to
talk about it. You can rewind this, and each time
I say something, you can argue. You can rewind this,
and each time I mention something you can relate with.
You can say amen, or you can say, oh God,
I've been there. We're not talking about it. So if

(04:46):
we're not talking about it, how are you hiding it?
I mean, come on, doctor, Jennifer Ashton says everybody, everybody,
I think I see your name on the list. If
you're not talking about it, how are you hiding it?
Where are you placing it? Where are you allowing yourself

(05:08):
to vent? Don't you just want to grab a pillow sometimes,
stuff your face into it and just scream, just release it,
to go to a mountaintop, to just scream to just
release it now, at almost fifty nine years old, I

(05:30):
can't do that. I'll give you a couple of reasons why.
Number One, I'm a voiceover actor. I can't just go
out there and scream. I can't destroy my voice. And
number two, if I just scream, you know what happens.
That's a lot of energy. Then I may not get
back for that day because we've already been weighed down

(05:53):
by all the other days before this day. So just
to say scream in whisper form releases a lot a
lot of pain without losing your voice and the energy.

(06:14):
Let it out, cause I know you're hiding it. Just
flut it out, hye marrow. And that's the daily mess.
