Good morning, The Wonderfell Way.
Howdy. O/ 🤠
Welcome back to The First Day of the Rest of Your Life.
A.K.A.: Today.
Hope all's well.
Time for a spell.
Here we go.
On with our show...
"All you do is write."
- Overexaggerating, Though Close to the Truth, Friend
It's Love.
Illness kept me from it for so much of my adult life.
You learn to value time when you're restricted access to the things people take for granted.
Like when you're thirsty you stand up and get something from the kitchen to drink.
If you never had to base that trip to the fridge on when the medications in your system were strong enough to allow it without a crawl, consider yourself luckier than you know.
I love to write; it's my work.
When I went into remission, I went into my work.
Now, when I want a glass of water, I don't have to plan the event.
Now this body has enough health and energy to move a pen or push some keys while daydreaming.
Funny where morning thoughts wander to and wonder over when you pause to consider them.
Or, when you reread a year's worth of past morning journal posts. (Complete with apt AI pics, of course.)
I do hope this journal is useful for you.
If it only serves as a reminder that there's a lot more going on in this process called Life than we can touch and measure with numbers, I'll consider it a win.
(And a pun.)
Our technology is at an evolutionary critical mass.
AI can be a sedative to induce an existential crisis, or it can be a great tool for inspiration and growth.
Recognizing it as the latter is necessity for the survival of our species.
To view AI as a reason to sit on your behind and let the machines do the work, admits an ignorance as to what work actually is...
Actions to serve humanity, to serve Life.
Those actions, the acts of our work, now have more room for more imaginative ways.
Imagination, and not sweaty labor or clever computations, now becomes the most sought after job skill.
Finally.
Good show Science.
It's time to pass the reigns over to the artists to move our society forward, to evolve our race.
Take care, dream great dreams, feed them to an AI bot, enjoy the results, and make wonderful this wonderful day.
