We're not going to get the message by reading a book.

You really have to have the message pounded in.

And I had a reoccurrence when I was 35, and I just attributed that to very thick skull.

Like you didn't get the message the first time.

Here's your reminder.

Yeah.

Well, I think there are two things that help sort of get us out of like the speed of life, you know, and it's just getting faster and faster all the time.

Nature is a really great way to broaden your experience of time.

You know, I used to live right below the giant sequoias and my favorite walk had 1100 giant sequoias on it.

Wow.

And you...

You think about them being around for 2000 plus years and all of a sudden our little, you know, 70, 80 years is pretty insignificant.

So I've found that nature really broadens that experience of time, which then allows you to free up your creative energy more.

And the other really is being in old cities or old buildings, old neighborhoods, old downtowns.

The same thing where you can look at a building and think about...

You know, someone worked there in a department store in the 1920s and they fell in love there.

Or, you know, like all these different things of these lives that have come before us.

I really like this.

The churches out here in the South, you know, a lot of them have cemeteries around them.

And you literally walk through a cemetery to church and I'm like, oh, every church.
