Some lovely landscapes today.

I love being out on the farms in the lee of the mountains.

We are certainly saddled with many struggles in life lately. But my message today, is that life goes on.

Yes, Crypto is down and there are other serious issues that have attacked us lately, such as the floods in the KZN province, the recent locust plague, lives and land lost, and then of course the war in Ukraine and devastating cyclones and fires all over the world. Not even to mention the resurgence of the Covid pandemic.
It is as if the world rests on each of our shoulders.
But instead, nature tells us that life goes on.

I love this Bontebok, as he is a real beauty.

An Egyptian goose on his way in, and I thought to get him near the buck.

Finally, Mr. Pied Crow shouts a message to all of us. Wake up and smell the roses, stop the moaning as things will be okay.

Some have lost everything in this Crypto crash, others have lost their lives in the floods, pandemic, and wars, but life goes on. Not one of us can be assured that we would still be alive tomorrow. Life is a risky business and we are frail human beings.
My way of looking at things is that I am just grateful for every breath that I take. We simply have to endure and try our best to cope with everything that life throws at us. At times it is a severe struggle but we also have the healing of time and the lessons that we receive not to make the same mistakes again.
If you cannot afford it then leave it alone, and thankfully nature is free.

And That's All Friends.

I was explaining to my daughter about life going on. She sort of got it. It's a hard truth but we do have to make the best of things and continue.

Them skies are looking so good?

I call it life's conditioning as we were created as basic creatures to work the land and raise our families.
But we have that tricky word "want" inside of all of us. A want that can never be satisfied.
It is that same want that has created all of the problems that we face now.
Learn to control the want and then one's life will become less hectic.

Thank you!

Now you are super boosting the wisdom. It is the want that is at the heart of it or at least the controlling of it. Thanks another thing I have been trying, unsuccessfully so far to pass on

Just logical sense my friend. Controlling the want means that there will be no wars, no scams and only peace will reign. We will all help each other and want only the best for all, instead of only for ourselves.
Such is life.

Wake up and smell the rose

Seeing the cryptocurrency market nowadays, this is rather wake up, and smell the ashes. Haha.

!LOLZ.

Some have lost everything in this Crypto crash, others have lost their lives in the floods, pandemic, and wars, but life goes on.

And others have gained/gaining cryptocurrencies. I heard that many people bought Bitcoin (BTC), after it fell to around $$26 350.49 USD two days ago (on 2022.05.12). They pushed the price above $30 000 USD, but it is again below $30 000 USD. Currently it is $29 446.92 USD.

Nowadays the bear is raging heavily in the market.

Hahaha, ashes are always temporary my friend, then it's cleaned out and a new fire is made.

Gaining and losing is the name of the game and the waves of the ocean explain the up and downs to us.
The bear is indeed raging at the moment. I just had a $127 post cut to $79 and definitely not a nice experience.

It is indeed sad to see and hear what is going on all around us @papilloncharity
But like you say; life goes on and we need to make the best out of it. Help in any way we can. Especially nature.

As she is still here holding on…
So much beauty around us, people just need to open their eyes. Like you show us every time in your beautiful photographs. Keep sharing them 😁

Have a wonderful weekend!

Thank you and everything seems to be upside down nowadays my friend. In life and in crypto.
The world seems to be in a bear hug and it's taking a beating all over.

That's why I run into nature as often as I can to seek solace there.

Thank you and it is said that it is only the start. It is reckoned to worsen over the next 5 years.
Just gives us a chance to run into nature more often to recharge 😊
Hope that you will also have a good evening and weekend.

Best thing now is to find ways to hedge and counter against the expected losses. But it is tricky as nothing is secure.

Glad that you are enjoying nature and we now have winter creeping in.

I think that the Luna crash has damaged the image of crypto tremendously and it's going to be a battle to re-establish trust. Nut yes, time will tell.

Spring is a great season 😊

Yes, I agree with you @papilloncharity it has damaged the image a bit, but time will tell.
Let us build stringer before we dive up from underneath. Stronger…

My favourite season 😁

Yes and agreed as time always tells.
Correct as we will just continue to build. I have been doing this for the past 4 years and will just continue to build.

A great season indeed.

But I’m building too to help. 😁👋🏻

It takes time to build my friend, but it is always worth it. Next month, June 16, I will be 5 years on Hive.
So you just continue to build through hard times and good times and you will be sure to see the results.
Remember I don't trade and all of the earnings are only from my posts. No wait, I think that #combination is 5% of my total.
Hodl is the word.

I so understand @papilloncharity 😁
It takes work but is so worth it in the end.
Than we have a celebration soon 😁👋🏻

My account also is only earnings from posts and comments, I don’t want to put money in it, like some are now doing by buying hive because of the low price.
I just hold on to it all and hodl… 😉🤩 keep doing what I’m doing…

Thanks a lot.

Oh yes, I am sure that in a few years time you will be very happy with your account !LOLZ

Glad that you are doing the same thing as me and in the early years I used to buy HP with my HBD during the dips to grow my account, but not anymore, as I now put the HBD into the savings.
HODL is indeed a good thing methinks 👍

Blessings and !PIZZA

Thanks @papilloncharity 😁 I will…

That’s what I’m doing, all the HBD I got now I convert into Hive and power up the 1th for PUD
And my posts I put to 100% HP now. Especially as the Hive is so low now. It doubles quickly.

I did get before the dip some HBD into savings too. Got it almost to 200.
Hodl is a good think 😁

Thanks, best wishes for you too

Thank you for the kind comment and I mostly use my own life experiences to display in the writing of my posts. Others such as yourself feel akin to it and for this I am grateful.
A balm for the soul indeed.

Beautiful photos!

As you say, life goes on... and the beauty of nature often serves as a reminder that everything is OK, on a much greater scale of things. Those amazing mountains were there hundreds of millions of years before we were, and they will be there long after we're gone.

Nature is a great healer, and offers us the invitation to reframe our perceptions.

Thanks for sharing these!

Thank you and what you say is so true. The other day I read a scientific research finding on the sun and it is estimated that the sun will last for another 5 billion years. I disagree as the sun will last forever methinks.
But yes, Mother nature is a perfect healer and if we stop damaging the planet she will also be around for millions of years.
My pleasure to share the things that I love.
