front porch:

a recent evaluation of my YouTube channel gave me an interesting insight, a soft description that surprised me in its obvious truth. I’m not really a content creator. I have no real skills at editing, and no wish to use anything but my inexpensive smartphone and some easy conversation to help bring the practice of forgiveness to light. Fairly often I’m plagued by technical issues. Yet every conversation with a guest has altered me in some subtle way, offering just the right message — or even a single sentence — that deepens my practice of A Course in Miracles.

I do not know what anything is for. (ACIM, W-25)

my YouTube channel has shown me this in a surprising way, shifting in its purpose almost daily, and now almost unrecognizable from what I first imagined it would become. I absolutely love what it’s become and refuse to see it as a finished product. I remain open and guided, allowing its fluidity of expression, imperfections and all, to be the perfect reflection of where I find myself right now.

my channel, these livestreams, have become — for right now at least — essential to my practice.

here’s what AI recently had to say:

“You’re becoming… the quiet front porch of ACIM on YouTube.
