@galenkp dares to teach me about Steemit!

A friend of mine and a skilled mentor @galenkp, was game enough to open the veil into this blockchain world, like a host introducing the next act as the stage curtains draw open on the interweaved web of Steemit. It’s a bit techy, expressive and connects all sorts of people: tick, tick, tick – I’m in! Where do I start, I’m terrible at improv but I’ll give it red hot go…

Reluctantly and out of necessity, a bit about me: At some point a realisation occurred to me that this life we act out on Earth’s stage and the experiences we gain is basically a whole bunch of stuff we jam in to our ever-bulging life bag. This includes the stuff that goes in our mouths; food right, the stuff we see, the stuff we think, the stuff we wear and the stuff we choose to be around. Conclusively, I am stuffing! Sure, I’m aware of the subtleties beyond stuffing, however I think it’s important to choose your stuffing wisely, I know in the end it’s got to count for something.

Let me tell you more about what goes into my life bag. My current habitat consists of the warm glow of a late-night lamp contrasted by the blue wavelengths emanating from my laptop which sits on top of a rainbow spattered white desk, as if it were the canvas; staying in the lines is boring, not to worry it wipes off. Stacks of research books ranging from Chris Kilham’s Tales from the Medicine Trail to George Musser’s Spooky Action at a Distance compromise the strength on my three-legged coffee table. A rhythmic hum lulls from the headset plugged into my tiny music machine that serenades the notes and ideas on papers littering any flat surface. Stacks of sketch books buckle from the bookshelf which overlooks the corner of the room where canvasses adorned in other worlds sandwich against each other, as if they were sharing their worldly secrets amongst themselves. This is sanctuary, the place where all things are possible, my office, my home. Sure, this way of life can be somewhat disconnected from daily news and general gossip, but herein is where passion lies, and it is where I choose my news and use my own brain to inspire my next move.

Steemit is a Pandora’s Box of people sharing themselves, their ideas and their opinions across the globe; what a great privilege to be a part of this platform and one that allows us to connect and draw inspiration from each other in a raw way. That’s why I’m here; I will share with you my creative world, ideas, musings, I will ask questions and give my opinions. I believe everyone is a creative genius in their own way and if we want to uncover and nurture it, a healthy body, mind and spirit are the basic foundations.

I’m intrigued to know for those who’ve been on the platform for a while, if you were to read back through your old posts, how you’ve evolved and what you’ve learnt about yourself up until now.

From one stuffing to another, see you on the stage!
