Hello and welcome to another episode of Mindfulness Plus.

I'm your host Thomas Mekonki.

Thanks for listening today.

I would like to talk about range today.

And it's my observation that as humans we intuitively admire range.

So what do I mean by range?

Take a singer.

And when we hear a singer who can cover a huge range with their voice,

hitting lows, hitting highs, sustaining the highs and lows, there's something aesthetically

beautiful and pleasing about it, We recognize that as talent.

Actors, this is another example where, you know,

there are a lot of funny actors who can really do comedy,

and there are a lot of really serious kinds of actors,

actresses who can do tragedy.

But what happens when an actor, actress,

can do tragedy and comedy equally well?

We see that kind of versatility

as an impressive range in their craft.

So, you know, I'm not the most cultured dude in the world.

Brian Cranston comes to mind.

And he's just slapstick, hilarious, funny, in my opinion, on his series, Malcolm in the middle.

And then how morphs into Walter White in Breaking Bad.
