Joy often hides just beneath the surface, waiting for us to persist with gentle hope. With patience, curiosity, and openness, joy finds its way through—even if the process is quiet and gradual.

When I truly understood that our very essence is love, everything shifted. 🌟
We are love — not because we earned it, but because we were born from it and will return to it.

There’s nothing to fear in being who we really are.
In fact, being love and being ourselves… it’s the exact same thing. 💛

Gross but good acting

I’m not sure whether it’s absolutely incredible . . . or completely horrifying. It’s probably both.

Artificial Intelligence - I’m a bit in the dark ages about it all.

AI VOICE: I had a wake-up call when I heard from one of my publishers that some of my books would become audiobooks, but they would be voiced by AI. Whoa! It hasn’t happened yet - my earlier audiobooks were recorded in a recording studio, so they are in my voice - but things are changing going forward. (I’m told that the AI audio books will be better than being recorded with my voice. Gulp. Okay?)

AI ART: A few months ago, I had some art done for a project that I was working on. Someone asked if it was AI art. I assumed that the art had been painted in a studio with oils and canvas. It turned out that it was AI. I had no idea. The art was really good.

AI WRITING: I guess the hardest thing for me to wrap my head around is that AI is a much better writer than I am. Recently, I was writing some text for an article and someone put what I wrote through an AI program . . . and what emerged was so much better than anything I could have come up with. Yikes! ( I’m glad that I wrote my books before the AI era. It’s all a bit overwhelming now.)

In the Tao, it states that life is change … and AI is bringing so much change into our lives. I know that AI isn’t going away - it will only get more prevalent. So I’m not going to fight or resist it, but I’m going to look to see what’s great about it. Presumably, there are great benefits to it. And I may even get my toes wet and try ChatGPT … but not today … or tomorrow .; . . or the day after that.

Sending blessings your way, in this changing Universe we share!

This photo has absolutely nothing to do with my post. I just like it. (I’ve recently returned from Costa Rica, and while I was there, it was so wonderful to unhook from modern life and relax in an open-air restaurant, while butterflies and birds soared through the trees.
