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.
Late last night a quote came through this writing instrument
based on not assuming you know my walk. I mean,
we're all guilty of thinking we know the story when

(00:23):
in reality we can barely regurgitate the inside sleeve of
an album cover. That's where most fans of music got
their latest news from a band or a performer. Today
we just hit Google, and how much of it can
we believe? I mean not everybody sends out what pr
firms do and that is a one page, just enough
real information to get a conversation started. But are we

(00:47):
asking the right questions? Walking a mile in each other's
shoes might actually lead us into an endless cornfield with
no map. I have been there in Montana. How I
got out. I relied on the position of the sun
to lead me toward the assumed knowledge of where I was.
Walking a mile in our own shoes. Think about that.

(01:13):
You think you know who you are, where you've come from,
what you've accomplished, and what you haven't. But have you
truly walked a mile in your own shoes with reality,
not the prefabricated photos that you post on social media,
the reality of your moment, of what is now walking

(01:33):
a mile in your own shoes. Heytzaro, this is the
daily Mess, a chronological walk through in everyday world. I
am a daily writer. I sit back like a silent wolf,
and I watch, I observe, I study, I learned from
and then we talk. We teach each other new ideas,
new ways to walk. Old habits are dropped. This is

(01:57):
the daily Mess. It's extremely difficult to look at the
real world right now outside this writing window, I mean,
with so much chaos and confusion, recklessness and delusion. The
awareness factor tends to want to move inward by way
of protecting what little space we have that's comfort. A

(02:18):
man wearing a mask and a fully loaded backpack in
the front entered our store last night. He spent nearly
thirty minutes in the bathroom. Because of the way of
the world, we weren't comfortable, and our own security team
was very, very nervous. The rest of us found no
reason to do anything but wait for the worst. Well,

(02:41):
the dude ended up spending nearly two hours in our location,
finally leaving near closing time. Why. Well, the answer is simple,
because people can not. One thing has been written that
says you can't. A lot of things changed during the
lock down. Two things, two major things that people have

(03:03):
just gotten kind of used to. Wearing a mask to
hide your identity. And number two, yeah, bring in your
own backpacks and bags. We're fine with that, but we
don't know what's inside, especially a backpack that was worn
on the front side of the body, not the back,
the front side. What would you do in a situation

(03:27):
like that, if you were to walk a mile in
your own shoes, what would your actions and reactions be
knowing that somebody went into your place, right into the
bathroom for thirty minutes. Have you spent thirty minutes in
the bathroom with a backpack on the front. Well, when
he came out of the bathroom, the backpack was now

(03:47):
on his side, and as he made his way through
the location, security walked around in a way of not confronting,
but rather just being aware and letting him know that
we were aware of him as well. Those moments when
everything on the outside world, God bless every person who

(04:09):
has been through this, especially in Maine just this past week.
The outside world is speaking loudly, and for some reason,
we are silent with our fears. A backpack on the front.
You might be thinking, what's wrong with that? I wear

(04:30):
a backpack like that all the time, Walk a mile
in your own shoes. What are you silencing that could
actually be awareness. I'm Marrow and that's the daily mess.
