I cannot help but acknowledge the exponential growth in tech and innovation options available for creative development.

From spotting the sudden integration of artificial intelligence in my personal site-builder, to witnessing a rainstorm of conversations over the imminent changes to our global job market… I can’t help but notice something.

There is a distinct opportunity available right now for us to truly understand and value ourselves – and who we were intrinsically fashioned to be.

What I’m saying is: The more I see how tech can fill in the gaps, the more I can feel my own heartbeat.

Whilst paradigm-shifting in nature, the near-instantaneous pace at which AI can produce words, structure, art, and sustainable solutions is (somewhat surprisingly) animating me. The more I see this, the more trust I seem to have in the genuine beauty of my human expression.

I know my worth as an artist… and, in a world where I will no longer have to compete based on speed, my pulse really means something.

Wordsmithing is not becoming a lost art – it’s becoming a treasured one.

What I’m taking a stand for is bringing genuine beauty back to the Creative Table.™

-

The state and caliber of our consciousness matters. The authenticity and quality of our craft matters.

In a sea of fret and excitement, I encourage you keep to a keen – and intuitively discerning – eye on where your consciousness is focused…

because it’s clear to me that our felt sense – and the subtle nature of all things – truly gives us a leg up.
