Connecting People

August 29, 2026 by 4 Comments

I found this use of AI creative and inspiring: connecting people who otherwise are isolated and alone.

“Dawn Avatar Robot Cafe is full of human diners enjoying tasty meals — and robots with green light-up eyes serving them. But the robots aren’t controlled by AI or some other computer programming. They are operated by disabled workers who are clocking in from home. “

Ory Yoshifuji of Japan suffered from being isolated for 3 1/2 years when he was a child recovering from an illness. He asked himself, “why couldn’t he have a second body?” He went on to recover and study robotics in college, starting his company, Ory Laboratory, and creating the remote-control OriHime robot. (see link below)

This co-creation is a beautiful example of creativity, caring for others, and using our ability as creators to bring good to the world. May it inspire us all.

What if this is true…

August 10, 2026 by

THE WORLD AS ENERGY–CONNECTED

The world is made of energy
matter once thought solid and
true emerges and then dissolves,
an unseen matrix the birth mother

Our thoughts and emotions
the fertile seeds of creation, are
energy and matter entangled
invisible precursors to action,

Time and space are curved
particles and waves are
by-products of the observer,
the unknown humbling

My heart waves are imprinted
by your brain waves
to touch your mind I must
open my heart

We are creators, young
in our understanding, our
future dependent on how quickly
we learn it’s all connected

bes
2.13.07

If this is true, how do I embody it for the highest and best for all?

HOPE

July 3, 2026 by

Where there is hope
We can move forward

Thoughts create
Through their frequency, attracting and reinforcing similar energy
By directing our actions

Thoughts running rampant stop us from being present
They create stress we don’t even know we are carrying

But as we understand the power of our thoughts, there is hope

This Fourth of July notice what you are focusing on.
Is it what you want or are you feeding what you don’t want?
What is the energy? Notice what thoughts tighten your body. Shift by imaging something you like, something that makes you happy or at peace.

Shake your body and dance.

There is hope!

Just plain angry

June 9, 2026 by

I’m angry. I’ve been angry for quite awhile
But it’s not an emotion I usually allow myself.
So
I thought I was depressed, just overwhelmed.
But I was deceiving myself

I’m stopping myself from living fully
No-one else is
Those deep judgements of myself
Are dominating again

“I’m not enough
I don’t belong
I’m damaged goods”

Only this time, maybe
I can stop, learn to see differently
Create a new story I tell myself

Love myself as I am

The journey inward to the truth of who I am continues. For that I am grateful.

When Sadness Descends

May 7, 2026 by

May is hard. May 12, 2016 my daughter died. A year later, May 22nd, my husband died. Late April this year my cousin’s husband died.

I have friends with serious health issues. I’m losing my energy. I’m losing my relevance in this crazy world of AI and social media.
I’m losing confidence that I can know what is really going on even with 24/7 news. There’s sadness seeing the promotion of violence, the lack of care for the earth and the disrespect for life (human and otherwise) on this planet.

When I try to ignore the sadness, it turns into anger that I project out. I know better but it’s been hard for me to cry it out these days.

May is hard. Yet life, like a river, keeps flowing with it’s losses, gains, and inevitable change.

Just writing this helps me. I exhale and settle into this moment, acknowledging what is for me right now. I’ll let the smile come when it will.

Settling down…I am noticing I am just fine. I’ll let the smile come when it will.

Earth’s Magic

March 15, 2026 by

Spring has sprung
Somewhere deep
In our bodies
hope arises

New beginnings
Beauty emerging
Plantings for food
Warmth of the sun

Life enfolds us
Reminds us of what
We are connected to
Of what is

There are those who are destroying earth’s beauty and damaging life on every level.
Do what you can, but don’t dwell on it.
Don’t take it into your body.
Seek beauty, connectedness, be grateful.
Practice presence with others. See them.
And most importantly, rest in the quiet of your own heart. Know you are loved.

Who am I?

February 20, 2026 by

I am many things
Don’t put me in a bucket of you’re choosing
I am diverse, a little bit of a lot of things

I seek the truth wherever it lies
The truth about I like and don’t like

Even when I don’t like what I’m seeing
Even about me
I am that too

It’s easier to attach and be one thing,
to believe strongly in one thing.

But easy doesn’t reflect my true self,
nor the diversity of all things
So I am grateful.

With every change
Inner and outer

I grow more aware, knowing
I am
We are

One

In honor of the anniversary of my birth.

MLK

January 19, 2026 by

“On April 3, 1968, the night before the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated by a white supremacist, he gave a speech in support of sanitation workers in Memphis, Tennessee.

Dr. King told the audience that if God had let him choose any era in which to live, he would have chosen the one in which he had landed. “Now, that’s a strange statement to make,” King went on, “because the world is all messed up. The nation is sick. Trouble is in the land; confusion all around…. But I know, somehow, that only when it is dark enough, can you see the stars.” Dr. King said that he felt blessed to live in an era when people had finally woken up and were working together for freedom and economic justice. ” from Heather Cox Richardson’s Letters from an American, Jan. 18, 2026

We have a ways to go, but may we work together for freedom, economic justice and the awareness that we are in this together as one. Love thy neighbor as thyself. Learn to love yourself.

Thoughts going into 2026

January 9, 2026 by

We’re in this together

Our life journeys weave through time: intersecting, moving away, hiding, coming together, falling behind, moving ahead.
Some of us learn along the way, others get stuck in learned patterns and beliefs.
Some are trapped in the prisons of their own or other’s making.
Yet still, we’re all on the journey home.
We are in this together.

May I move forward with compassion not judgement.
May I be open to co-creating what wants to be born.
Releasing the fear of something different, of what I thought I needed.
May I move forward with self-care not selfishness.
May I truly love and care for ALL life.

Here’s to a new year.

Holidays

December 13, 2025 by

… Bob Dylan, in a 1960 interview with Rolling Stone*, 28-years-old and already looking back sagely:
“Boy, I hurried… I hurried for a long time. I’m sorry I did. All the time you’re hurrying, you’re not really as aware as you should be. You’re trying to make things happen instead of just letting it happen. You follow me?”

It’s Christmas! People are scurrying to buy last minute presents, fit in all the family and friend gatherings, attend concerts and church events, and deal with the crazy weather predictions.

Slowing down and letting it happen might be a challenge but it may also be the answer to enjoying the Holidays. Letting yourself be more aware of and present to your experience.

Slowing down as in noticing your breathing. Slowing down as in tasting that cookie you’re eating. Relaxing, knowing you’ll get to the next place in perfect time. Slowing down and smiling at those around you.

My wish for you: May your Holidays unfold in perfect peace, with love, and anchored in the knowing that it is all happening perfectly.
