The Monday Morning Memo

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS
OF A VOLKSWAGEN JETTA:

A CINDERELLA taught us the fundamental elements of stories are “rise” and “fall.” TWO ROADS THAT DIVERGE IN A YELLOW WOOD taught us the importance of taking an unanticipated path. TOM ROBBINS taught us to harness random things so that we might escape predictability. A PILE OF BRIDGES taught us to find a single point of connection between two things, so that random things might be connected and create delight. A SCUBA DIVER taught us to use the arts consciously so that we might touch the unguarded unconscious of our audience. And now – in the video below – it all comes together. You’ll want to watch it more than once.  Aroo, Indy Beagle

Six Narrative Arcs:
• ‘Rags to riches’ (rise) 
• ‘Tragedy’, or ‘Riches to rags’ (fall)
• ‘Man in a hole’ (fall-rise)
• ‘Icarus’ (rise-fall)
• ‘Cinderella’ (rise-fall-rise)
• ‘Oedipus’ (fall-rise-fall)

Random Quote:

“Our universe is built from paired opposites and our perceptions of reality rest upon them: night and day, up and down, true and false, left and right, male and female, justice and mercy, freedom and responsibility. The magnetic tension between paired opposites is the rope in a game of tug-of-war.

Honesty and loyalty are often at opposite ends of that rope.”

- Roy H. Williams
