It is going to be a challenge to write a video script that is informative and not something aweful, like preachy, or patronizing. But it is something I am going to have to do if I am going to get a YouTube channel up and going. It has to be interesting, too. Oh boy! This is going to be tough! But I am running out of time. I need to do this! I need to get an income going so I can sustain it and keep it coming in as I age out. And let’s face it, I am not getting any younger.
At the same time, I am listening to a video my wife is playing in the next room that is bringing up witchcraft in England. That remionds me that I have taken an interest in the craft in so much as I am interested in figuring out how to do things with a sense of spirituality, with intention. The world is a bit dull with no element of thought beyond the superficial, material things. What is it that gives meaning, such as poetry has. I’ll figure this out. I am not inherently spiritual myself. I take it as a material world made of material things, and nothing more. But I have found that somewhat lacking in the years since I lost my religion. I think somehow this can lead to a sense of meaning that connects us to the people in the past that have done similar work and creating that the YouTube Channel will be devoted to. I’ll have to be open about the fact I don’t know squat about this sort of thing, but that I am interested in not just something like woodworking, but getting in the mood of it through that connection and spirit.
Is that too much? I don’t know. I think it could add a level of interest in the topic, but it could also add a load of silliness, too. There are a few people who do it well. The Cottage Fairy on YouTube is excellent at demonstrating intention in what she does. So does Jonna Jinton, famous for her Cow Kulning video. I am not saying I want to sing to the wood while I work it, or burn incense. I just want to work with greater intention, and demonstrate the work in a contemporary shop with the intent of getting old workd results.
Anyway, just some thoughts on the topic. If I am going to work with intention, I need to have thoughts on things, don’t I? I tend to keep things at a surface level, and I need to be able to dive deeper.
