Hive Open Mic ( #openmic ) is a global community celebrating live music on Hive. Each week is a new event, encouraging musicians to share songs with an international audience.
Have you ever stopped to wonder about how everything in the world is connected? Take the environment, for example. We might think of the environment as something separate from us, but in reality, we're a part of it. The air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat - all of it is part of us. Our actions have an impact on the environment, and the environment has an impact on us.
Everything is connected. Our thoughts, our emotions, our relationships, our communities—they're all connected too. It's like a giant web of interconnectedness, where we are spiders, weaving our threads.
Knowing we belong to something colossal, it's easy to feel small and insignificant in the grand scheme of things. But at least we're not alone. We all have a role, and we all have the power to make a difference. Every time we make a conscious effort to reduce our impact on the environment, or to be kind to someone, or to make a positive change in our community, we're adding to the interconnected web of positivity and making the world a better place.
That's why this song is one of my favorites, because it sends a love ripple through the web of interconnection. The message is a positive affirmation: "Everything is right inside. All is right. All is well." As a reminder, the idea behind positive affirmations is simple: you repeat a positive statement, over and over again, until it becomes a belief. It's like programming our brains to think a certain way.
Today, for the 146th Hive Open Mic, I am taking a moment to contemplate the interconnectedness of everything and to remember that our actions and choices have a ripple effect. Our theme this week is: "La Unión," chosen our community's recent Spotlight Artist: @elioe.
Right Inside
In the wind the leaf returns to dust
Feather waving limb swaying breeze breathing
Truly we are one for we are air
By the smoky flame the cedar sparkles
Sun shining ember flaring lightning striking
Truly we are one for we are fire
From the mud the water lily blooms
Rain dropping vapor rising teardrops falling
Truly we are one for we are water
Garden rooting down and sprouting up
Stallion galloping lion purring choir singing
Truly we are one for we are earth

With your initial question you made me remember a video I saw recently about how small we are not only before our mother earth, but before the galaxy in general because they talked about a star within a system of very small planets where its size was almost 10 times the size of the Sun, can you imagine that? as a species we have the power to connect with what is outside of us, that is incredible and that helps to understand more the nature of what exists... starting from this premise, why is it so difficult for us to live in peace on a planet that was given to us to dignify it, honor it and leave it as a legacy to future generations?
It is a question that at some point will answer itself; we have advanced, but while that happens other important things are forgotten; most people focus on what social networks put in trend, one day something is important the other day it is not and in this daily life that apparently is something that should unite us with solid and human criteria, there are even deeper differences... what happens is that the absurd is normalized and not the vital that is life and any living form!!!
Without being exaggerated dear brother, this community has what the world lacks; you as an artist, person and visionary know it, that is why here the union will always be imminent.... God bless this space always to interconnect us more and more and to transcend with music to many more souls 🙏🌎🌍🌏🕊️☮️💖!!!!
I loved how your song sounded this time, those synths gave it a lot of magic and I really liked it. Brother your message could not be clearer, we are air, earth, sea and fire ... everything in each of us ... we are the embodiment of the planet, of creation, of the source of life!!
I send you a big hug Cabe, thank you for bringing your light that is a vital part of this great family and that inspires us to keep rocking the world with our voices.... You Rockkkkkk!!!! 🙌😀💛
Oh fo sho! Yeah, brother, I'm with you in a state of awe for the immensity. 200 billion stars in this galaxy of ours, and maybe every single one is a Sun to someone. And on the micro scale, every single one of us is a Sun to someone. So we must shine bright—someone might need a Sun! Sending a grateful hug, blessed to know you, proud to see the excellent work you're doing in the Hive Open Mic community.
Greetings my brother @cabelindsay oh yeah what a great song you share with us I think the lyrics say it all there is nothing to explain, besides the rhythm the melody is something that unites you with the universe and the whole family of Hive Open Mic thanks for sharing your inspiration with all of us I send you a big hug very fraternal.
Yay, happy to connect with you, my friend. I'll look to see if you have a musical post this week. It's a pleasure to know you through the music we share.
Amazing performance bro...the message is clear and concise.
"Truly we are one, for we are fire"💟
Thanks for sharing this amazing piece with us @cabelindsay

Anytime my friend...Thank you so much for your kind words, you inspire me as well brother🤍
👏👏👏 bravo amigo mío, tiempo si escucharte, pero que bueno que pude coincidir con tu presentación, la letra de esta canción es muy hermosa, 🥰 me encantó esta canción , felicitaciones una vez más y bendiciones para tu vida ,
Blessings right back to you! Feels so good to hear from you, like a hug from a dear sweet sister.
¡Bendiciones para ti! Se siente tan bien saber de ti, como un abrazo de una querida y dulce hermana.
This is so amazing seeing you playing guitar and it's a motivation for me to learn the guitar too, I was surprised when I saw that you said week 164 in the video I had to go check again to confirm 😄😄
Oops, how funny! Yeah, it's only #146. My mistake. 🙃 Thanks for your warm note, my friend.
If I say the production is good then I am just under saying what needs to be said. You are a musical legend.
Your relation in the writing is just so inspiring and then the music itself is superb. A great figure you are to the world of music. Your rock bro
Keep it up
Wow, your comment is precious to me. Thank you! I have to humble myself and say that I am making progress, through some failures and some successes. I'm thankful for Hive, and this community in particular, where we have a virtual stage to perform and practice. Cheers to the life-long learning!
You are welcome boss man
It is quite so wonderful here on hive and especially this community indeed
Wonderfull, You are a great singer. Arriba Open Mic!
Arriba! And Viva! Happy to connect with you through the music.
Nice song brother!
I thought your reflection for this week's Open Mic was fantastic. You are so right, we are all part of something much bigger, so we can all make the world a better place.
I find it interesting what you say about repeating over and over again those affirmations that come loaded with positivism, that way we program ourselves and leave aside the sorrows with which we are usually bombarded.
Yes, definitely. I think you're right that positive affirmations are a way of programming ourselves. It's true that there are other programs, like commercial advertisements trying to persuade us in one way or another. So I imagine it really is necessary in our world for us to choose new programs that keep us aligned with our visions and desires for life.
Wow man this ists really good. Positive message and the music its uplifting. Do you hace these song on spotyfy?
Thanks brother! I haven't recorded this one yet. It's one of my favorites, though, so hopefully I'll get to it soon. My band and I are recording a new batch of songs for our second album now. Here's where you can find us on Spotify: Cosmic Butterflies. Do you have songs on Spotify?
This is a great philosophical school of thought, we're all connected to each other and in turn to our ecosystem..... A good musical presentation of this fact from you. Bravo 👏🏽
It is beautiful how you manage to connect us with your essence, your vibe and your peace.
You are a symbol of union for all this hive and a living example of how through music we can travel and connect infinitely to any person or place.
Listening to you is a pleasure, you have a special essence and mythic.
Global harmony and unification run through your veins.
You deserve the embrace of the universe with its eternal blessings, Congratulations brother, you are the magic of life made music. Success and much happiness
Always feels like home when I connect with you through the songs we share. There's much magic in the way they bring us together. May they continue to harmonize us.
Siempre me siento como en casa cuando me conecto contigo a través de las canciones que compartimos. Hay mucha magia en la forma en que nos unen. Que nos sigan armonizando.

It's not 164! you mixed up the numbers 😄
Love your song, your vibe and your beard, haha it's huge now. Loved the imagery that your words create, Cabe. They remind me of the mantra Om mani padme hum , the jewel within the lotus, which means everything we seek is already inside of us.
Thank you for this.
Yep, you're right about that number mix-up. Oh well. At least I remembered the words to the song. Yes, I love the mantra you mentioned, and I like your interpretation of it.
