True indeed, Boom! Could be just because I am getting old and grey, but it feels like more and more of the upcoming generations are better at reacting than they are at responding. And with reactions? It

¡Gracias por tu visita y por tus amables palabras!

Does seem to happen a lot... and keeping people all stirred up and in their emotions is perhaps the most toxic thing the MSM does. As psychologists will tell us: "People can't hear anything when they

I'm not sure we really can fix the world, because the world doesn't necessarily think it needs fixing. Maybe that realization is something that comes with aging... most of the time, these days, I simply

Gracias por pasar por mi post @comandoyeya, de hecho, siempre estamos aprendiendo, tanto de la tecnología como simplemente de la experiencia de pasar por este mundo nuestro. No todo es fácil, y no todo

Hi @hope777, I presume you're talking about the recent post by @mobbs? I thought he made some good points while not ending up with a "fight." My wife and I tend to come at this whole thing from

Hey there @riverflows, yes that's lavender! It actually surrounds our backyard labyrinth that we built about 8 years ago; it has 100 lavender plants around it with pieces of rose quartz under each plant

It's a lot of fun to just stop and look at what's around us! Thankfully, we have a pretty good sized yard, and there's a greenbelt nearby, so we get quite a few backyard visitors.

To be honest @jayna, I think a great many of the people who would be truly qualified to be in public office will — pardon my bluntness — stay far far away from that munted shitshow. I always end up thinking

Thanks for the support, I appreciate it!

I ended up reading your words via @tarazkp's recent post... and a lot of what you write here resonates. In reading the comments here, English is also not my first language... which oddly seems to be a

There's another "wrinkle in the equation" that doesn't get much airtime here... which is the perception of what Hive "IS." Very simply (pretty much "marketing 101"), if you

I'm glad you are checking out this community again, even if only occasionally. You always made superb content that I thoroughly enjoyed. Whereas the days of $1000 posts have vanished along with $20K Bitcoin,

A number of things came to mind as I read this... mostly triggering memories of "old debates" we have had here, sometimes ad nauseam. As you say, a lot of Steem/Hive was never available as part

I dunno @acidyo, but I think John Oliver hits the top point early in the show... "there HAS to be something more!" when he confesses that even he was attracted to the idea that the Royal Family

Hi @jayna, thanks for the lovely and thoughtful comment! The bee at the top is on our lavender... the purple flowers at the bottom are Russian Sage bushes. Both of which shouldn't really do so well here

"Change comes from within," as they say... and such things as simple gratitude for What Is and mindfulness does make the coffee taste better. Throwing bricks through shop windows? Not so much...
