00:00:00.150 --> 00:00:03.430
Creativity is an addiction. Unplugged because we will always say
2
00:00:03.490 --> 00:00:06.849
yes to creativity. Totally uncut because we all make mistakes.
3
00:00:07.269 --> 00:00:10.240
So let's turn it into a tool. This is Arrow Unplugged.
4
00:00:10.599 --> 00:00:13.400
Stream thinking. It's learning how to trust what is in
5
00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:17.019
your presence of right now. To get there requires some practice.
6
00:00:17.179 --> 00:00:19.460
This is what I do every day. One sheet of paper.
7
00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:23.140
Just 10 minutes. Write about whatever is moving through your
8
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:27.899
presence of right now with absolutely no judgment. Stream Thinking
9
00:00:27.980 --> 00:00:31.570
sharpens your skills as a listener, a communicator, and as
10
00:00:31.609 --> 00:00:34.990
an activator. Learning how to trust what is right now.
11
00:00:35.530 --> 00:00:40.969
This is Stream Thinking. Today we're reading from February 17th, 2024.
12
00:00:40.969 --> 00:00:44.450
How can an artist paint on a canvas without knowing
13
00:00:44.490 --> 00:00:48.289
the state of a modern world? Art is more than
14
00:00:48.350 --> 00:00:52.130
just an escape. It's a voice, a presence in society,
15
00:00:52.710 --> 00:00:55.090
be it tame or be it on the brink of destruction.
16
00:00:55.869 --> 00:00:58.789
So many writers have words to share, but choose to
17
00:00:58.829 --> 00:01:04.189
hold back due to a true-to-life fear called cancellation. Brutalized
18
00:01:04.250 --> 00:01:07.780
by a demonic internet that endlessly lives by its own
19
00:01:07.819 --> 00:01:12.000
laws and purpose. The songwriters, they're trying to get through,
20
00:01:12.459 --> 00:01:15.459
but are silenced by the candy-coated plastic bathroom mirror smile
21
00:01:15.500 --> 00:01:19.620
pop rockers that are out for just the buck. When
22
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:24.280
will the voice of art rise? Know in your heart
23
00:01:24.340 --> 00:01:27.840
that we were all born to be creative. What has
24
00:01:27.980 --> 00:01:32.000
silenced you? This would make a great stream thinking project
25
00:01:32.140 --> 00:01:34.739
for you to figure out, to listen to it, to
26
00:01:34.819 --> 00:01:38.140
build upon it. And if it doesn't work out, step away.
27
00:01:39.829 --> 00:01:43.310
Allow yourself to be filled with art. I'm Errol, and
28
00:01:43.329 --> 00:01:44.150
that's stream thinking.
