I also share your 'thing' for rocks and stones Melinda. The rock in the first image looks like a piece of coral that a friend gave me. Love the patterns in them all.
I like to think, as in the spirt that Japanese rock gardens are created, that rocks have a unique essence that we can tune into ~ Perhaps even receive messages from ~ In the way that we can receive messages from people ~ And trees.
I it very old coral from a freshwater lake. It is so lovely to see you here! Hope all is well with you.... And you know I agree 100% with you about rocks and trees!
Ah, so that's why the rocks look like coral. Amazing. 💖
Yes, all has been well with me. I've just been distracted for a while by the Deep Dream Generator and then just as I came back to Steemit again someone suggested I look at Minds. I tend to like these explorations into other 'realms' and seeing different perspectives. I understand that much has been 'up in the air' at Steemit, but it feels REALLY good to be here again.🌹
I had a Minds account sometime ago. I looked at it a while ago again and it seemed that everything had changed so much that I didn't know my way around anymore, and I didn't take the time to get it figured out. I never felt the sense of community there that I do here. And I certainly never made as much money there as I have here! I am glad you're enjoying being here!
Thanks so much Melinda.
Within the Groups at Minds there's a degree of connectivity between people. But because authenticity is not encouraged as it is at Steemit, many of the ‘Channels’ are a stream of other people’s articles and images. So it’s more like Facebook ~ But better, for the multitude of reasons it was created.
I think you are spot on about feeling a different ‘sense of community’ though and I now see that sometimes we have to venture out to realise more about what we already have. 🌱🌹🌱
I love it here so much that I feel absolutely no need to go looking anywhere else. I love watching how all my friends have created their own little niche and everyone works to support each other.
Yes, that's what the true spirit of community is all about. Keeping one's uniqueness and being supported by others who are doing the same. And we all grow. Can't wait to be back again now Melinda. 🍀
