Some people keep their lives private.
Some of us are wired to connect
Neither choice is wrong
And people who judge
Forget
People who share
Choose what they share
And when
Not for attention,
not for applause
but because energy wants to move.
When something lights me up,
my instinct is to pass the spark on.
It feels natural, like calling someone over
to look at a beautiful sky.
Sharing isn’t “big-noting.”
It’s just overflow.
Sharing happiness, awe, wonder
Art
Is something humans have done forever
If you watch the way someone’s smile
Infects and ripples throughout a space
We are energetic impulses
Seeking resonance
Candles catching fire
So next time you hesitate to post a moment that has brought you joy
Made you proud
Remember
You may just be snuffling an impulse
That moved us all towards
A more creative world
And if you are measuring your self worth
From the likes you receive
Don’t
Watch what your feed does instead
And you will see
It gives you more of what you just posted
The algorithm follows your interests
Dance
And forget who is watching
Love
And help the world catch fire
Header photo is of a goat (obviously) he/she it hangs on the wall of the Nindigully Pub Qld and of course Australia. I waited out a storm there yesterday on a bike trip to Thallon a little further on down the road – the rest of the photos and story on Instagram where I’m sharing more these days because it’s fun.
And also my SubStack newsletter posted this morning – have a lovely week-end!

A thought about poles, insulators, wires and generators buzzed into my mind when this energy emerged from the inbox. Hmmm, am I a transformer?
The brainbox light is now on anyway.
Thanks you Kate.

Everyone is a transformer DD and electrical energy is exactly what we are I guess
Love this! Thank you for the inspiration, Kate. 🔥 I was thinking about this subject earlier – how sharing, connecting, and communicating, with other creatives online, is expansive and freeing. 💗
I’m glad Michele – I think we have tools now that past creative people could only dream of but it has taken time to learn how to use them and think about them in ways that are fulfilling.
It has been an incredible learning journey, hasn’t it! Every day, as things evolve, which seems to be happening at warp speed. 💫 Cheers to creating and learning to use the tools – not letting them use us!
Heartfelt yes 👏
