Archangel Uriel on Communicating Hope in These Times of Change

May 18, 2025 by Rob Loveland, posted in archangels, channeled guidance, Channeling, spiritual guidance

Rob: I am meeting with Uriel again. Uriel is before me, although I am asking him whether we can do this a bit more informally than we have in the past. Can we just sit and talk? So Uriel, I wonder if you can give me a message that would be appropriate for all to hear for these times that we’re in, something for everyone to enjoy.

AA Uriel: Greetings, Rob. So your question about a message for all, as you are well aware, we are coming into the thick of the tumultuous time, the time of revelations. But these need not be fearful times. You are preparing yourself to understand, with the intention, that these times are simply times of transition from one system to another. Yes, the grieving process will be important, and you will help others through that.

Rob: Is there something that would help others connect to the idea that the grieving process is necessary and help them to understand that the loss of an institution is no different than the loss of a loved individual?

Uriel: But the nature of the expression of loss will be different. With that loved individual, the loss is felt as missing them, as wanting them to be present, their company, their habits, their companionship. The loss of an institution is different. You don’t feel that same connection. Yes, it is familiar, but it’s not that you will miss it; it’s that you will fear what its loss represents. It means you will have to embark into the unknown.

But the point to remind everyone as you move forward is just because it’s a new system, an unknown process, does not mean it cannot be wonderful in its expression. The people will be so much happier without the old structure that was holding them back. They may not realize how it was holding them back, but it was nonetheless.

The new structures are meant to empower all individuals. To some, perhaps many, that, in itself, is a scary thought. It seems a paradox, but it is true. People are afraid of their own sovereignty, of their own divinity. They have existed in one life after another for so long being convinced that they need the State, the government, the monarchy, whatever system they lived under, that they need that to secure their well being, so they are not used to expressing themselves and what it is that they want, their own desires, to be able to express their own creativity.

This will take some getting used to and will require a significant amount of encouragement and showing them that every time they step forward and express themselves, while it might be a bit uncomfortable at first, in the end, nothing bad happens.

The arguments that they will receive, that they will hear against them stepping out on their own, will be from those who have a vested interest in keeping them under control. And as those systems lose control of the population, they will lash out, they will argue, perhaps even become violent, but hold to the vision.

Yeshua on the Significance of Pope Leo XIV

May 10, 2025 by Rob Loveland, posted in Channeling

[One of our teammates, Jo, channeled such a gem from Yeshua about Pope Leo XIV that Jen and I asked her to allow us to post it here. Happily, she agreed, so welcome to Lighthouse, Jo! Hope you enjoy it! — Rob]

Jo: Having such a strong Catholic background myself, I was struck by the election of the new pope, Leo, replacing Francis. And I was struck by the fact that the transition and leadership to such a large body of Christians was happening at this particular moment in time where so much is changing on the geopolitical scene in the world, in all ways. And now there is a young man, an American man, but a new person of youth, comparatively, for this position, leading many millions of Catholics all over the world.

So I don’t really have a specific question — just a feeling that this is part of the new way, the new you, the New Earth, the new Nova Being and Nova Earth that the Mother has spoken about. And so I would just like to chat about that … nothing particular.

Yeshua: My child, it is I, Yeshi, your brother, the Christ, the figure you have worshiped for most of your life, the person revered as the head, the leader of the Christian churches and, as you said, so misunderstood over so many eons.

My message was love. My message was kindness. My message was compassion. My purpose was to return, to change, the world by love — not by violence, certainly not by greed, certainly not by the trappings of wealth and office and ceremony, but by love, just love.

And you are quite correct, my child; in fact, you have been wise beyond your years, even as a young child, for questioning so many fundamental tenets of a man-made religion. How could a loving God do this or say that? Or how was this even possible? You questioned, and you were right, my child.

But there are millions and millions of people who faithfully follow me, who faithfully follow the messages of the Gospels of love and peace and compassion and kindness. Millions and millions of people who are not as advanced, like, shall we say, as you and your colleagues here, who believe strongly that I have the power — which I do — to save them, to help them, who pray fervently for my guidance, to for me to walk with them, and I do my child, I do. I walk with every single person who asks me to and with very, very many that do not ask me. I am here as Savior to them, as a deity to them,

My child, the message is love. And the new pontiff, the new head of the Roman Catholic Church, the institution that was created in my name, will spread this message of love. He is a strong figure, one of a man of deep faith, a man of deep commitment, a man who believes strongly in his understanding of my message, of the church’s role in spreading love and spreading peace and spreading harmony.

You are quite right. This holy man has been placed in this position, now at this time, to be a balance. Rob has talked about the power, the growing power under your President of the United States, a world leader, a man shaping the future of global economies, of nations. This pope will be a balancing act to him.

This pope is placed here to place an equal state, an equal pillar of foundation, for balancing, balancing global economies, global powers, global growth, with love, with compassion, with kindness. He will be a strong leader. He is a man of deep commitment and deep faith that will not bend because of his allegiance to one country or another or because of his nationality. He is a man dedicated to God and to my teachings of love and compassion.

Oh, he will be challenged. He will make mistakes. No man in this kind of position cannot, but he is guided, my child. He is guided. He is a foundational pivot point for the creation of the new Nova Gaia, for my new church on Nova Gaia, a church not with the deity at its head, but as love as its face, a world of compassion, a world of love, a world of beauty. He will be a pillar for the crumbling institutions, the crumbling understandings of old, monolithic, incorrect teachings.

He will need your support, my child, your prayers and your guidance. You’re lifting him up in spirit, for he has a bumpy road ahead, but he is a man of faith and deep, deep commitment. And he will be a pillar to lead millions of people, millions of people across this globe, to the true understanding of the message of Christ, of my message.

So you are living in miraculous times. You are living in marvelous times. You are living in a time where the old bricks of the past, the walls built of the past, are crumbling, and as Rob was saying, grief will be part of this process. Because whether it be a person or an institution or a belief system that you had, that you now know is misguided, those things crumble around you, and there is a sense of grief because of loss, loss of something you held dear, loss of something you loved. This man will help resurrect that to the new. He will be a guiding force to bring this new world order into place.

Send him light. Send him love. Send him resolve. The new world is in process, my child.

So with that, I will leave you in the interest of having the others have time. But you stand on the precipice of a bright, new, glorious world. You will shift the rubble, but the process, the goal, the creation, the image, the beauty of this beautiful Nova Earth, steeped in love, is on the bright, bright and near horizon.

I go now with love.

Quan Yin on Living Compassion

May 4, 2025 by Rob Loveland, posted in Ascended Masters, channeled guidance, spiritual guidance

[I channeled this just after we lost a close family member, and while the passing came suddenly, it was not altogether unexpected. – Rob]

Rob: Time for a little compassion, I think. Huh. I am I’m not seeing [Quan Yin] as I usually do, where she comes in on the dragon; she’s in the garden where I usually meet Lao Tzu, [where it’s] much more calm and peaceful. So we’re taking our seat on the bench by the pond — a stone bench.

So, thank you, Quan Yin, for joining me. I kind of have a lot running through my head right now, but it makes a lot of sense to me that you would come talk to me, being the Goddess of Compassion and all. Anyway, I will turn it over to you. What do you have to share with us today?

Quan Yin: Greetings, dear Rob … and a fine hello to Jennifer and Jo Ann, as well.

Yes, I just wanted to stop in to express my condolences to you and your family. You are handling that oh so well, and you truly are being that lighthouse for the rest of the family, showing them that death need not be a time of sadness. Yes, of course, the family will miss a member, but as you pointed out yesterday [in my Celebration of Life speech], Steve is always here. He will always be with you, and, of course, you are welcome to have a conversation with him at any time. So trust that the family heard you, and they are taking advantage of that thought, of that truth. So yes, it’ll take a while to get beyond the point of feeling that loss, but as you well know, that all comes in time.

And at the same time, you find yourself in this position of wondering what is happening in the world. There is so much going on. There are indications that the plan is moving forward, that we are coming quickly to a point of culmination. It’ll be a while yet — revelations of truth will come forward, bit by bit, slowly. This plan is built such that the greatest number of people will wake up in their own time.

Your job, and I think you know this very well, is to simply be the lighthouse to shine your light to others while the storm is brewing around you, just blowing wildly. And anyone caught in that storm is questioning where to go, how to proceed. Where is that place of safety?

Just beam your light. Show them what calmness in the face of the storm, what that looks like, what that feels like. It’s not your job to advocate what is truth, no matter what others are saying. Just show them what peace looks like, the way to peace, the way to calm, the way to safety.

If others ask what you believe, what your version of truth is, then, by all means, tell them. [But] whether they accept it or not, it’s really not your concern. Express your truth. Be at peace. Do it lovingly. Show them what compassion looks like in practice.

Personal Guide Malia on Purity and Self-Love

April 27, 2025April 27, 2025 by Rob Loveland, posted in angels, Channeling, spiritual guidance, spiritual info

Rob: I have my guide, Malia, with me, my angel.

Teammate: Welcome, Malia.

Malia: This is Malia. It’s a pleasure to be here. Thank you.

I would point out, as Rob sees me as a symbol of purity, that all of you, the whole notion of self, is that you are all angels in form, born of that purity. When you all say that you must recognize the divinity within, think about what that means.

Yes, you are all divine. You are all of divine origin, of the Mother-Father-One, which means you are, in fact, angels in form, born of that purity, the color of pearlescent white, the color of newborn babies, for at the end of the day, that’s all that you are. You are all the children of the One.

So the idea of self-love is simply recognizing that, understanding that, trusting in that, and falling back on that in times of doubt and concern, perhaps even fear. So much of your discussion about the changing nature and difficulties of parenting and child-rearing, it’s because we / you don’t recognize the purity of all beings, your children and others.

Yes, society is far more fear-filled now than it was perhaps in the past, or at least in the time of your bringing up, but it has never changed, irrespective of your perceptions, that everyone, all here, at their very core are just as pure as any other. Fall back on that. Rely on that. Trust in that.

Teammate: And I have a question for Malia, if I may. Given that the energy of purity is so important right now, is there anything that she could share on how we can bring in more of that energy of purity?

Malia: Thank you. First and foremost, it is a matter of getting in touch with that within yourself, recognizing that it is always there. It is part and parcel of who you are. So staying anchored in that is a matter of connecting to it and understanding that is who you are, but just as importantly, that everyone else that you meet is also made up of that same energy of purity.

There is no such thing as impure. There are those who choose to ignore who they are, to deny who they are, but at the end of the day, in reality, it is not possible. It’s only a matter of delaying the inevitable recognition of who you are and that you are, in fact, made up of that Universal Love, that sense of pure love, and therefore so is everyone else.

Mother Mary on Whether We’re Doing Enough

April 20, 2025 by Rob Loveland, posted in channeled guidance, Channeling, spiritual guidance

[Here’s some encouragement from the Mother on this Easter Sunday. Enjoy! i hope it helps; it certainly was helpful to me! — Rob]

Mother Mary: This is Mother Mary.

Rob was going into this somewhat resistant, feeling that anything that he hears would somehow be me hollering at him for not doing what he should be doing. No. Nothing could be further from the truth. There is no such thing as Me, or the Father or anyone from the Council or anywhere else on this side, chastising you for having done or not done something that you feel is part of your plan.

My plan is for the collective of humanity to take that step forward, to make that transition to what is new, what is coming, what is well on the way, and from our perspective, already here.

[Regarding] your questions about, “What am I to do next? Am I doing enough?”, of course, you are. You, perhaps, have no idea what impact you are having in teaching a particular class. Every heart you touch, every mind you expand, one at a time, expands exponentially beyond that — yes, over a little bit of time, but that’s not for you to worry about.

Every conversation you have with somebody else in the family, amongst your friends, reaching out through your social media, to just touch someone’s heart and say, “I hear you, I see you, I appreciate you.” That’s all that is required. That’s all that we expect, for every one of those actions has a significant impact on the overall vibration, as you call it, of the collective of humanity. The ripples start and they expand, ever growing, and touch so much more than you understand.

So I would suggest [to] give yourself a break. Do what you can in your own sphere, for wherever you are at the moment. If you’re not feeling up to a particular task, touch those that are around you, whom you see right now, before you. And when you ARE feeling up to expanding beyond that, do so because you are moved.

Rob, you are feeling that this time for you IS a time of new beginnings. It IS a time of transition. What happens in the next month, perhaps several months, marks a period of stepping out further and expanding your influence to those that you have felt, perhaps, up to this point have been off limits.

Archangel Raphael on the Budding of Spring

April 14, 2025 by Rob Loveland, posted in archangels, Channeling, spiritual guidance, spiritual info

AA Raphael: Greetings, all. Yes, this is Raphael, the Archangel of Emerald Green.

This is the time of year of the budding of the greenery all around you. I come today at this time of the hope, of the budding of Spring. It is such a time of hope, of, yes, new beginnings. You have all waited patiently through the long months of winter in the chrysalis, ready to take flight as butterflies … or any other creature you desire.

So as you look out on the landscape, wherever you are, take note of the budding green trees, the grass coming back to life, all of it as a promise of new life, of a new creation in its own cycle. And think of me. Think of the healing that that brings, not just to the physical processes involved in that life, but the healing of your very soul [with] the hope of new beginnings.

And of course, with Spring, this is the time of taking action. It’s a time to stretch, to get back out there, and show yourself to the world, no longer hiding in your own homes. And that is particularly poignant for this year; again, this is the year of truth.

So it is time to put yourself out there, to show yourself as the brilliant teachers that you are. And no, I do not mean having to teach in any formal way. You are teaching each and every day with everyone that you meet, whether you actually speak to them or not — just your presence and showing them all what that hope of life looks like, feels like, knowing that all will be well.

You’ve got this. This is why you’ve agreed to come at this time, in this age. We are all here to support you. So go forth with that confidence, knowing that we are all here. How could anything go wrong? There is no such thing as going wrong.

As was said earlier, it is all unfolding according to the Mother’s plan. Yes, each of you and your individual plans are all part of that. You’ve agreed to that long before you came here and set foot into this particular life.

Just feel into your heart, that energy center of green. Feel the life blooming there, starting there. It is the core of your being. Everything that you do, including every thought that you have, emanates from your heart, from that space. Humans choose not to see that, and have actually done everything they can to disconnect from that, but it cannot be true.

Your task is as simple as living from your heart, living from that space, feeling your way through life, and having fun with it. None of this need be serious.

Yes, the outside world seems like it is such a serious place, [with] so much bad news, so much worry. For what? It is all unfolding exactly as it should. This is a time of joy, so have fun.

Sanat Kumara on the Nature of Change

April 6, 2025 by Rob Loveland, posted in Channeling, spiritual guidance, spiritual info

Rob: So as I’m opening myself to Sanat Kumara and thinking about Change, and the Universal Laws in general, I’m not seeing myself in my normal landscape. It’s, like, we’re out in space. We’re out in the universe. … Okay.

Sanat Kumara: Greetings, all. This is Sanat Kumara, Raj, here to talk to you today about this whole notion of change. As you well know, change is constant. There is no such thing as any period of no change. If you were in a period of no change, you would not be alive. You would not be here. There is no existence without that, for everything is in constant motion. And of course, anything in motion is constantly changing, be it its own state [or] its surroundings. It doesn’t matter.

Humans have this tendency to want things to stay in a place of comfort and, therefore, in a place where things do not change, but this just doesn’t work. That idea is not real. Of course there’s change.

And as you are progressing further along the path towards Ascension, the change that’s upon you is all for the better. Yes, as you’ve been discussing, there could be some turmoil in the process. It may feel uncomfortable, but as you also know, the discomfort comes from your resistance. Just allow. Allow it to unfold as it must, operating completely on the faith that the result of this change will be so much better than what you’ve experienced up to this point.

But that whole notion of experience, [i.e.] what you’ve experienced, is viewed from the perspective of the physical world. Yes, that will seem very chaotic, but if you view all these events from the higher perspective, from the spiritual perspective, from the viewpoint of heaven, if you will, then all of this is such a time of joy, of understanding that this is the time of transition to a much better state for humanity, for the planet! This is the birth of Nova Gaia, of Nova Society, of Nova Humanity. Think of all of the possibilities.

You have already experienced that this is a time of accelerating creation. You are all feeling very creative about the possibilities of the future. That’s for a reason. This is a time of creation of the new. Allow yourself to dream, to dream all those things that you thought were impossible before, or at least difficult. The entire universe is lining up behind you to bring you whatever it is that you desire.

So allow yourself to feel what your life could be, what the universe could bring you if you only removed your own barriers standing in the way of all that you desire.

So while this is a time of change, allow yourself to believe in your heart that the change can work FOR you. Yes, all of the systems that you’ve known, that you’ve grown up with, that you’ve lived through, they’re crumbling, but not in the way of utter destruction, but [rather] in the way of birthing something new.

And as you all know, any birth involves the pains of labor, but that is temporary, soon to be replaced by the joy of the new birth of the new being come into creation. Focus on that. Allow THAT to happen. And yes, feel grateful for it, for your part in it. Be grateful for yourselves for persevering and for the whole universe for allowing you this opportunity, for it is an opportunity.

Not everyone who wanted to participate in this challenge was allowed to come, was enabled to come. You were chosen for a reason. Be grateful for that, just as we are grateful to you for your own internal fortitude, for finding your way through all of this seeming chaos. Just allow and all will be well.

With that, we’ll see if your teammates have any questions for me.

Higher Self, Sam-u-el, on New Beginnings

March 30, 2025 by Rob Loveland, posted in channeled guidance, Channeling, spiritual guidance

[I channeled this just after getting the news that there was a high likelihood that my part-time employment with the Federal Government would come to an end, ultimately as a result of the government-wide down-sizing. All my spiritual tools and teammates were advising me that this is simply an opportunity for new beginnings, so I asked my Higher Self for guidance on that. And then, on Tuesday of this past week, I was informed that Thursday would be my last day … after more than 40 years of service. It’s now done, but it’s all good! — Rob]

Rob: okay, Sam-u-el, what do you have to say about new beginnings?

Sam-u-el: Welcome again, Rob. Yes, this is Sam-u-el, yourself.

Before I address your question, I just want to say that you should really take a moment and consider the fact that given the news that you’ve received this week, how much different you are receiving this, what might seem to be bad news, in an entirely different light than you would perhaps a year ago. Think of the progress that you’ve made, in that this is just another happening, just something else to experience, to live through.

You’re not upset by it. You’re adjusting your thinking accordingly. This is something to be proud of, the progress you’ve made.

Now to your question of the whole idea of upcoming in the future the new beginnings. It is a time of new beginnings. Yes, through this transition —and as you well know, you are not through the point of full transition, but it has certainly begun — but you are now considering what happens on the other end, what happens for you, what happens for your relationship with all others.

This IS a time of new beginnings, and yet at the same time, I would also point out that irrespective of what’s happening in the external world, outside of yourself, every day is a day of new beginnings, if you simply allow yourself to experience it that way. But yes, given where we are in the history of humanity, this is a momentous time, with lots and lots of new beginnings, new opportunities, and you may participate in those as much as you feel comfortable.

It’s just a time of — as the card said — socializing, meeting new friends, establishing new relationships, as you potentially (at this point) transition away from one aspect of your life, i.e. what you have known for much of your life as your relationships with the people at work. Some of those will continue. Again, it’s as much as you choose to hold on to those relationships, to nurture them and allow them to continue on. And we encourage you to do so.

So view this as a time of excitement. Anything is possible at this point. And based on where you all are, i.e. all of humanity, this is a time for creation, for creating the new. It will soon be upon you, [i.e.] the time to decide that the way society has run up to this point is not what you want for the future.

So now is the time to create the new — yes, using the Creation Formula. Think about what it is that you want, how you want society to behave, to interact with you, each of you individually, and yet all of you, collectively. What is your vision?

Yeshua on Relationships

March 16, 2025March 17, 2025 by Rob Loveland, posted in Channeling, spiritual guidance, spiritual info, Yeshua

[I channeled this during the most recent class in our “Yeshua and the Magdalena” course, but I think the message is important for everyone to hear. — Rob]

Rob: I invite in Yeshua to talk to us all as a group today.

Yeshua: Greetings, all. Yes, this is Yeshua, your brother. It is quite fun for us to hear your discussions about what life was like so many years ago. It is always fun to hear the stories, to recount them and to remember, not that they are ever far from us.

But the point for today, for all of you, is that these aren’t distant stories from long ago. Your relationship with us is here and now. It is always there, if you simply allow yourself to tune in, to connect with us. It doesn’t have to be anything elaborate.

Our hope for this course, with special thanks to Jen and Rob, is for you to understand, if you have not already gone down this path, [you can] develop that relationship with us. We can have a conversation anytime you choose. We are always here for you. It is in the development of that relationship where our hope really lies.

And I would ask you to think about “relationship,” what that means. It’s not just a relationship with us — we are always here to help — but it is also relationship with each other, with all that you see, whomever you come across, day-by-day. Think about what is your relationship.

And when you contemplate who you are, and the primary part of the relationship — and your consideration of that is really the relationship with yourself — is getting in touch with who you really are, understanding that at a deeper level.

And yes, we will be there to assist, to help you. It’s understanding that you are as divine as any of us. The Ascended Masters on this side, we’re no different than you, so it’s your relationship with Mother-Father-One, with the Divine. And once you start to get in touch with that, and really feel what that means, then you start viewing the world differently. Your relationship with all others, with each other, starts to take on a whole new meaning.

You are all the same. They, “other,” are just as divine as you. How will you treat them, then? How will you consider them, whether they are engaging in any activity that you would choose to engage in yourself or not? Does it matter? View it from the perspective of the Divine.

Now, once there, how does that appear to you? Can you feel that compassion in your heart for ALL things, for all parts of creation — for human, for nature, your environment. It doesn’t matter. It all comes from the same source.

This was the nature of our teaching, me and the Magdalena. It was our teaching then, and is our teaching now. The difference is, today, you are so much more open to this possibility. Many of you here [today] have already explored much of the depths of this question, of this idea, of this belief, so you know of what I speak.

Once you connect with the divine, then you understand the love that is behind all of that, for there is nothing else but love. The whole universe was created from Love, the expression of love from Mother-Father-One, and you are part and parcel of that. And in that sense, your relationship with EVERYTHING is sacred.

Think about your Sacred Union with all. Feel it. Understand it. And there are no mistakes. This is the message that we would like to express today and every day.

You can connect with us through your heart at any point. Just feel our presence for we are there always. Just as I am talking to you today, each of you, all of you, can have the same conversation any time you choose. And in those moments, we are, in fact, joining together in Sacred Union to have that conversation.

I would encourage you all to seek that time during your busy days to connect together, with us or with any whom you choose.

I think this is enough for today. I thank you so much, all of you for being here, for joining together. With our deepest love, I bid you farewell for now.

Dragon Geoffrey on Seeing from a Higher Perspective

March 9, 2025March 9, 2025 by Rob Loveland, posted in Channeling, Elementals, spiritual guidance, spiritual info

Geoffrey is my own personal dragon, and the picture below is close to how I see him. And while his message was directed at me because I asked, it’s really meant for all lightworkers. — Rob

Rob: Geoffrey is waiting on me at the grassy place where I usually meet him, overlooking the water. I walk up and pat him on his head and neck. It’s always so cool to look at the iridescent green feathers.

Geoffrey, I seem to be drawing these cards today that, while they’re all dragon cards, these in particular, struck me that they all have something to do with the air. Maybe you can share a little something. Why are these, in particular, calling me so much?

Geoffrey: Welcome back, Rob. Yes, this is Geoffrey. As you know, I am always within you, always within your heart. So it is nice every now and then to come out and stretch my legs, stretch my wings, to meet you in this place where we can have a conversation. Perhaps later we’ll actually go for a fly.

Yeah, the cards were away to bring your attention to something that’s been on your mind — the theme of the air as an elemental and, as you mentioned, your totem animal of a bird of prey. But it doesn’t matter what the bird is. It’s a reminder to see life from the higher perspective, from up in the air, looking down at the life that you are living, that others are living, the experiences you’re all choosing to have together. It’s a reminder to see things from the perspective of heaven.

Why are things happening the way they are? There is a reason for everything, and it’s important for you to maintain the balance while you are here in form. You must also maintain a sense of understanding from the higher perspective that these are all just experiences for you to learn, for you to grow, for you to understand who you really are.

While you were searching for topics to channel on, you also saw the word “charity.” Again, this was intentional. And I would remind you, charity, simply giving of yourself, what has been bothering you, the reason you asked to speak to Linda, is all about questioning yourself [about] the offering that you are giving to others. This is all an act of charity.

Charity is simply wanting to share the knowledge that you have, the wisdom that you have. For once you gain that knowledge and wisdom, it wants to be shared … and you are more than happy to accommodate. This is what you do. This is what everyone eventually does.

But I would remind you again, from the higher perspective, that in offering that sharing, the sharing in itself is its own reward. Having expectations of gaining anything else as a result is a fool’s errand. You’re missing the point. The sharing in itself is its own reward.
