Great introduction my friend! Way better than both of mine ;) lol. I guess our love of hippie lifestyle brings us together.. ha.. I didn't realize you were so into religion, I hope you don't mind Im a buddhist :) I was once a christian but after going to war twice I had demons that would not leave me for many years, until I found buddism.. I respect all religion and am glad you have found something that helps you through each day and especially the rough times in life. I do love the quote you left on this page, it tells me alot about the type of person you are, and I believe we are very like minded in that aspect.
Im glad you are a teacher as I believe you have the right mantality to help teach people to grow. Not many people truly have that gift, so cherish it..
I was mining cryptos for a while, but after 6 months Ive made 3,000 on steemit and less than 500 mining so I quit mining last week. lol
anyhow this comment got long so i will cut it off now.. take care my friend.. thanks for the introduction post so I could learn more about you ;)
Thanks for reading the post @moderndayhippie. Sometimes I think these posts are going into outerspace. I live next to the Buddhist temple on a small mountain in a big city. I appreciate the love of nature and circle of life. I read Sidhartha and felt good but where did I come from and where am I going just is suck in my heart. I know there is much more than my senses perceive. Steemians who do so because of suffering, wounds and pains that are not resolved yet. It is a process. Although I am "Christian" the word religion paints a bad image in my mind. I would say I am a man of faith not into religion. But just a matter of words I guess. I worship and meet with other. Actually Christians are strongest in their weakness so I don't get the facade that sometimes goes on. It all takes time. Forgiveness is key. If I know I am forgiven then I can forgive others. Crosby Stills and Nash made Jonnie Mitchell's words echo. The music of the era usually address the problem directly but this also gives hope: "a half a million strong"
"Back to the garden" means there is hope to be restored. I'm really glad to hear your story. From your comment I am encouraged that my blogs are not lost in space there is somebody who cares.
I know how that feels man.. i really do.. but this is the hard part that weeds out the weak who don't deserve to be great on steemit.. trust me, everyone puts in there time before getting big on steemit.. and dont feel bad man, i honestly wouldnt do that much better than u on steemit if i didnt have upvote services.. lol.. i make like $5 per post because of that, and once a post has a few dollars on it (and u have a rep above 50) other people are more likely to take a look at it.. so just keep trucking, i promise u will get there, you are a much better writer than me ;)
continuing in another post, sorry, got to long to continue writing on my phone lol
WOW @mineopoly, your comment blew my mind! I feel like we are much more alike than I even thought before. I'm glad you have faith in something, I don't feel the need to tell people what to believe in, I just think life is better if you do have something to believe in. I think everyone needs something different depending on the experiences they have in their lives, faith is the important part. I guess I'm not exactly a buddhist, I just usually spit that out when people ask because that is closest to what I believe, but to be honest my religion is love! I just want everyone to get along. Fighting has never solved anything, but a hug can heal a broken soul and I find that truly amazing. Like you I believe forgiveness is key to life. Forgiveness of myself is what it took for me to dig myself out of a terrible hole I had dug myself into after a few tours of combat in iraq. So I am extremely happy that we met through steemit, it is so rare I meet someone who is truly like minded. I look forward to a long friendship here on steemit!
Take care brother.
