Speaker 1 (00:00):
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.
I just took note of a female cardinal gripping onto
a chain that makes our wind chimes create music. The
chain is so thin and pointing from sky to ground.

(00:23):
Yet the female cardinal had somehow chosen to find a
place of rest while standing in an awkward position of
sky to ground. What sort of things do we as
a generation find ourselves trying to grip onto? And is
it always in a proper upright position. Dad always told
us to sit up straight and pull our shoulders back

(00:43):
in martial arts, sobbing him, He always spoke of envisioning
ourselves with a meat hook in our back. We couldn't
properly deliver a kicker a punch if our bodies were balanced.
And yet this female cardinal seemed to be perfectly comfortable
standing sky to ground. More shocking was the wind chime
didn't lend us its beautiful music. Does that suggest the

(01:06):
female cardinal is lighter than the wind? Not one sound
was made while she was gripping that tiny metal chain
sky to the ground. Hey Tarrow, this is the daily mess,
a chronological walk through in everyday world. I am a
daily writer, and I invite you to do the same,
because people say I'm missing so much in life, and

(01:28):
yet it's all around you, all the time, all living things.
Taking the time to listen to your heart is one thing,
but listening to the vibration of nature and your city
is a different story, and it's waiting to be shared.
This is the daily mess. What nobody sees is the

(01:49):
writing desk that's right here on my knees. It's a
laptop surface that's been a writing part of my life
since the nineteen nineties, purchased at a mall store that's
no longer in existence, a cherry wood flavor to it.
The appearance is that of a hard cover with lots
of spilled ink on it from too many times of
trying to reach over there to the ink well and

(02:10):
when I hit it, boom, Oh, the ink dumps all
over me and the desk. My writing instruments impatiently wait
to be used. But the writer in me, Oh, I've
got my favorites. Some of them have been with me
well over twenty five years, and they're still filled with
words that fall from the vibrant universe. This writing desk

(02:31):
that sits on my lap is so full of many things.
Maybe once every three to four years I take a
sneak peek inside the desk, you know, just to kind
of catch up on a memory, one of them being
a US Savings bond that was gifted to me in
nineteen ninety three. Will it ever become that of value?
Or has it run out of time? The writing desk

(02:53):
that sits on my lap, its journey, is a story
that truly has seen it all. What do you have
in your personal life that has been with you for
several years now? You might be a sixteen year old
listening to this, You might be a seventy five year
old listening to this. We all have these things that
help us grow in ways that reach outward. And sometimes

(03:16):
people say, well, I'm such an introvert, I don't like
reaching outward. Well, here's the thing. Even being an introvert,
you're reaching out. Your energy is constantly bouncing around you
and everybody else. Even if you stop into Taco Bell
or McDonald's and you place an order, no matter what
the expression is on your face. You're still reaching out,

(03:40):
You're still growing in a direction that you think you've
got under control, but in reality, everything around you is
what's controlling you. I was with this author today. She's
written a new book. It's called The twenty one. It's
about these young activists anywhere between the age of eight
and eighteen years old, and they're taking on the US

(04:02):
government because the US government basically doesn't care about climate change,
so they decided to take it to court. You see
what I mean. You can be an introvert all you want,
but when things start to affect your world, if you
don't bring that voice forward, then the journey becomes silent.
Right I don't think so, because your body language is
still pushing outward, and what you may not say in

(04:25):
groups of people, you are sharing in tiny little gatherings,
and that still is that place of expression. Try it
out sometime. Allow your expressions to be heard, not necessarily
on social media, because sometimes people go to social media
to escape a world, and if they see something that
an activist might put up there, eh, they write it

(04:46):
off instantly. Maybe it's time to have some face to
face time. Do it in a small gathering, Do it
as an individual, allow others to feel what you want
to deliver. I'm Marrow and that's the day le mess.
