Lying In The Dark, Listening to the Rain, From A Thousand Thoughts In My Mind to Pure Appreciation for The Simple Blessings of the Miracle that is Life
I had a thousand thoughts going through my mind. It started to rain and the life giving aroma of fresh rain-infused air beconed me to presence.
I lied down to smell the fresh air and listen to the symphony of drops. As usual I thought of Steemit and began to make a video to connect and share.
I thought I may talk about the many relevant topics to Steemit that I have been looking into tonight in this video such as the new Smart Media Tokens of which are very intriguing and super hot right now. Or the hard fork-series of which seems has the potential to not only be really cool but also to be great exposure for the cutting edge possibility of Steemit!
As I was turning on the video camera in the dark I realized it would be the first video I have made without a Steemit Cap in a VERY long time!
I let go of the possibility that it may be a boring video or that people would think this was a shit post.
I took a deep breath in presence and let the recording begin.
This wound up being simple yet profound. Maybe trivial and boring to some but in truth of great relevance and importance to everyone.
Appreciation pours through as I lay here in the dark listening to the rain. I am so grateful to be alive, so grateful to be able to share that with you all here and grateful for the great opportunities that await us in the miracle that is life.
I am very excited for all of us here on Steemit as we really are building a community that has the potential to be revolutionary. We are like the rain with every one of our contributions to the blockchain being a drop, giving life to the growth of this eco system and the future prosperity of our tribe!
As always I appreciate your feedback and welcome your support!
SteemON!
I love to listen the rain, it's always relaxing for me. Sometimes the sound of the drops on the windows is almost hypnotise and it help me to leave my thoughts free to run in a peaceful way.
Yes!
Totally! I love the rain so much and seem to grow to love it even more every day!
Grateful to share the simple natural blessings of life with you!
The sound of water is the most healing and relaxing for me as well. A torrential downpour on the roof, waves ebbing and flowing on the shore, a quiet stream in the woods... it somehow purifies the mind like it purifies the body.
Yes!
The answers, solutions and real medicines are available to use every day, abundantly, naturally and freely!
Bless it be~*~
Honestly, you look like the coolest dude here on Steemit. Gonna read more of your stuff.
Thanks man I appreciate that.
As we all know cool like beautiful is in the eye of the beholder. Perspective is a powerful and finicky thing....
I do truly appreciate the comment though and am honored if it is true only for a moment in time.
Hope you check out some of my other stuff and provide feedback.

I will be checking out your stuff.
I was off Steemit for a few days as I was showing some Polish friends around.
One of them is a beautiful girl whom I opened up to. She encouraged me so much and said she believes in me, that I am an awesome guy.
Growing up angry and empathetic in all 32 years of my life, I never felt such love before. Yes, 32. It was that... stifling.
I am telling you this now because you saying "I do truly appreciate the comment though and am honored if it is true only for a moment in time." My blog's branding, as you saw, is rather anti self-help, but it made me cynical in life.
It's like finally now, in 2017, with the new people showing up in my life and being back here on Steemit, has led me to believe that people out there do care about the little things.
And I really, really appreciate that. I am starting to believe again.
I am here for you Brother!
Life is tough, the world is fucked up, its just the way it is.
Though there is hope, anything is possible~*~
Haha fucked up indeed.
A terrible disease hit close to home and it made me realize how blessed I am to have a healthy body and appreciate what I have around me...a house, a family, a husband that loves me and much more that would take me ages to write about.
Rain meditation for peace :) It's never too boring to talk about the rain
Thank you @quinneaker for your insights.
Blessings!
Thank you for sharing such a practically profound experience.
Your example is similar yet more difficult. I admire that you were able to alchemize a tragedy into gratitude. You are either a master or a master in training!
Thank you for sharing in the blessing that is life with me∞§∞
I love the sound of rain and the smell. Our old Queenslander had a tin roof and it was like listening to the heavens play music all night. I used to lay there and listen to hear the pattern of the drops as they fell. Sounded like new life beginning.
Lovely post, could not watch the video due to slack internet (first world problems) but will defiantly try to see tomorrow!
So grateful to share the profound blessings of natural and simple beauty.
I am so grateful and it is nice to share such with someone.
∞§∞Gratitude∞§∞
Also yes first world problems hahahahahahhaa its funny cause I am well aware of the difference between first and third world problems yet when the internet is NOT working properly it sure seems like a PROBLEM!
hahahahhahahhahahaha
A good philosophical read! A very strong attempt ! Thoughts keep on recurring like gentle swings , pleasant and awesome if not gloomy and saddened that manner have the worst effects on mind and soul.
Thanks for the feedback!
Blessings~*~
Upvoted & RESTEEMED :]
