Thank you to everyone who has followed me and supported the artists I bring to you here on Steemit!

I feel there's a real opportunity here for Steemit to entirely change the meaning of "starving artist", which should be satire and not reality! What a great and wonderful age we live in in which an artist can make money just from the admiration of their fans. And thank you Steemit for bringing the ENTIRE WORLD together in ~ creativity ~. I have met more people from more places on the planet in the last month than ever before, and you know, why hasn't been like this all along? The Internet is international, and here, finally Steemit shows you how much you've been missing because of centralized "gatekeepers" such as your ISP. Let's take the world by storm, and let's do it with creative content that empowers people all over the planet in ways like never before. OUT OF LOVE!! To quote one of my favorite authors and philosophers, Terence McKenna,

"And what shamans are, I believe, are people who have been able to decondition themselves from the community's instinctual distrust of the mystery, and to go into it...

"What shamans have to do is act as exemplars, by making this cosmic journey to the domain of the Gaian ideas, and then bringing them back in the form of art [for] the struggle to save the world."
