Something else I like about using #nostr is not looking at repetitive and scammy ads every 3rd post.
I just load some sats and zap as I scroll. I know that this is the internet I want. Happy place 👍⚡️

What do you think of singing bowls?
The mesmerizing tones of Tibetan singing bowls have been used for centuries in meditation and healing practices. These ancient instruments, crafted from special alloys, are said to create vibrations that promote relaxation, reduce stress, and even improve physical well-being.

I hope there’ll be growing interest in building a following but not having that following locked into a single website. The followers on the Nostr protocol are universal, right?
Presently, there are YouTube people trying to get folks to go follow them on Instagram and vice versa. I always disliked that for some reason.
Maybe in time the idea of a perpetual and universal follower will appeal to popular content creators. Your hard work in providing valuable posts is yours to keep.

About my profile picture. There’s a sound wave and a brush stroke in the style of a zen painting. It’s a depiction of a fleeting moment in time. I was inspired by the meaning behind Ensō (円相). The connection to the present is what makes music feel alive and without being in the moment we cannot really live.
Zen circle paintings, also known as Ensō (円相), hold deep meaning within Zen Buddhism. Here's what they represent:
Enlightenment & The Absolute: The circle symbolizes enlightenment, the universe, and the interconnectedness of everything.
The Present Moment: The act of drawing the Ensō is an act of being fully present. It's created in one or two fluid brushstrokes, with no room for hesitation or modification.
Letting Go: The Ensō embodies the idea of releasing control, perfectionism, and the ego. It emphasizes accepting the outcome as it is.
Imperfection: Ensō circles are often imperfect, some intentionally left open. This reflects the Zen idea of 'wabi-sabi', finding beauty in imperfection and impermanence.
Expression of the Self: While Ensō have symbolic meaning, the way each artist creates them is unique. It reveals their inner state at the moment of creation.
Beyond Symbolism:
Ensō can be used as meditation tools. Focusing on the circle can help quiet the mind and cultivate a sense of peace and acceptance.
Unfortunately, I didn’t paint my profile picture. It’s just the result of a prompt put into DALL-E. But with this as the first draft, I might have a go at painting later.

Agreed. I don’t want to exchange my bitcoin for fiat except when essential. However, I absolutely do want to spend my bitcoin in small amounts on things. Bitrefill works great inside the STRIKE app.
But the best thing is if we can trade bitcoin amongst ourselves exchanging value. Nostr seems like a great step forward. Maybe a “Fivr” type platform built on Nostr could do good in building the economy?

I would like to link everyone an open source tool that I have used a huge amount in my career as a drummer/teacher “Groove Scribe” by Montuli/Johnston. You can create sheet music or rhythmic exercises to practice/teach. It’s simple and free.
Enormously grateful for it. If you’re a #musician, check it out!

You’re right. When we get our mind tangled up in negative thoughts, we might need a way to take things less personally at times. Here’s an interesting word that I think helps us flow through life with less anxiety in and after our interactions with people:
Sonder - The profound feeling of realizing that everyone, including strangers passing in the street, has a life as complex as one's own, which they are constantly living despite one's personal lack of awareness of it.
Knowing that there’s an equally complicated life happening on the other side of side of every communication in life helps us to flow onward more peacefully.
Just what came to mind. Have a great day!

As a creator, I think finding the time that your audience would be most receptive to checking you out on a different platform is another important side of it. Both the creator and the audience need to really know how they’ll use and benefit from it.
