It's been a hell of a year in so many ways... actually almost 2 years for some of us.
On a personal level. My mother in law passed away in October 2019 and in retrospect we were lucky to be with her when she passed and to be able to attend her funeral.
Millions of people globally have not had the same chance.
Death has a way of showing us what really matters.
The pandemic has fundamentally changed the way many millions of people look at the world they live and work in.
They had been taught to think that they had no control over their lives.
From the great resignation we can see people are rejecting the old order and looking for other ways of living.
The 9-5 is a relic of a bygone age.
For millions of people working from home the web has leveled the playing field.
Hive is here waiting for this awakening crowd.
The proponents of the so called free market capitalist system were the first ones with their hands out again for bailouts from the public purse.
Hive survived an evil takeover and is thriving under community control.
In a time when everything looks bleak and nothing seems worthwhile having a community with broadly common aims is something to be grateful for.
There is still beauty in the world.
Photography makes us look at the world differently. It makes us question what we are looking at. Why is it the way it is? Who made those choices?
Questioning is the first step seeking answers is the next step.
Hive is not perfect but it's a hell of a good start to building a better way of living.
Where we are going we don't need bosses, banks or governments.
Have a peaceful holiday and I'll see you in the new world we have all created.
