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

All I see is right inside of us In the wind the leaf returns to dust Feather waving limb swaying breeze breathing Truly we are one for we are air
All I see is right inside of me By the smoky flame the cedar sparkles Sun shining ember flaring lightning striking Truly we are one for we are fire
All I see is right inside of you From the mud the water lily blooms Rain dropping vapor rising teardrops falling Truly we are one for we are water
All I see is right inside of us Garden rooting down and sprouting up Stallion galloping lion purring choir singing Truly we are one for we are earth
