Love and play are our natural states of being
Underneath everything is love. If I can’t feel the love, I know there’s something I’m not including in my experience. I must be slightly dissociated if I can’t access some touch of gratitude, love, awe, or flow.... Most of us have Community-Neglect

Chronicles of a City Baby
I recently realize that I am not comfortable out in nature. In a way, I have always known this. My whole life I have preferred being indoors. Air conditioning. Heating. Comfort. Predictability. As a child, I preferred swimming pools over the ocean or rivers.... i really appreciate this point; for similar reasons I've been a little shy getting to into AI with my kids. This morning my son wanted to ask AI "how are electrons created?" which is freaking cool.... - JulieI...
