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.
Ahoy there, shipmates! Notice anything different about me? Aye, you've spotted it—the eye patch. But fear not, me hearties, 'tis naught but a swollen eyelid. A visit to the optometrist led to a few plucked eyelashes, and they reckon it'll heal itself. Arr, the pirate life chose me!
In the meantime, my friends are having a jolly good time cracking pirate jokes. It's a fine crew indeed, who help me see the humor in this situation. I reckon it's high time I laughed at myself. The blessings outweigh the battles. Just yesterday, I danced like I always do on Sunday mornings, eye patch and all! And two days ago, I attended a grief ritual, letting go of sorrows and howling like a banshee. Had to unbutton me shirt, so I could let out the wails even louder!
But enough of my tales of woe and revelry! This week's Hive Open Mic be all about the Passion for the Art. It's a timely reminder of the fire that fuels our artistic endeavors. I'm learning to harness my inner flame in creative ways. Takin' a break from matters of the heart, I'm focusing on integration, making time for myself. And if I were to choose a pirate name for myself in this here state, "Blackheart" would be as fitting. 🖤
So, me mateys, let's hoist the sails of creativity, let our passions run wild like a pack of mischievous merfolk. May we find joy in the face of adversity, and always remember to keep a hearty laugh close at hand. For the journey be long, but the treasures be plenty, and we be the swashbuckling heroes of our own stories. Yo ho ho!
How do pirates know that they are pirates? They think, therefore they "arrrr!" Remember, matey, laughter be the best treasure of all!
Mustang
Hidden away
Out in the wild country space
Leave the mountains
We rarely return the same
Until I left Wyoming
Saddle us down
Hammer nails into our hooves
Fence us in
And tell us where to go
Until I left Wyoming
Stallions get broken
Branded with hot iron
Braided like show ponies
Ridden in polo games
Horse races and rodeos
Until I left Wyoming

Hive Open Mic - Week 163 is underway right now, with the current theme: “Pasión por el Arte". We introduce new themes every Sunday, inviting musicians to share a common current. Musicians always have full freedom to bring whatever music feels inspired in the moment. There is still time to jump in and enjoy this week's Hive Open Mic event!
Ahoy there, pirate Cabe. Good to see you!
Optometrist? Nah, it must have been a little accident from a battle with other pirates, maybe while rescuing a young lady? ;)
😂😂😂
Yeah, that's the real story. Except it was a young lady who beat me in the sword battle, lol. :)
Yeah, that makes sense. ;)
On a serious note, I hope it will pass quickly!
Great job, Cap'n!
Follow-up question: What's a pirate's favorite letter? You might think it's "R," but it's actually the "C"! #dadjokes
🤣 very good!
Have a great day!

So sorry to spam your post dude 🙏, my phone was being a total douche and kept sending the same thing over and over.
I dunno if that has affected my payouts/claim rewards bcuz they havent shown up yesterday or today?
Any idea what to do?
LOL! All good brother. Um, I haven't noticed any hiccups in the payouts. Seems like the team is keeping the curation going strong. Just keep an eye on it and let us know if there's something we need to look into.
Usually it comes up with claim rewards and the past 3 posts have not payed out or had the option to claim. My hive power has not went up nor has any other figure? I might be wrong but I haven’t been able to claim the rewards for a good few days now.
Thanks for your reply and info 👍
Yeah the past 3 posts have not payed out. I looked in the wallet account history and the last claim was 5 days ago and it did not match the posts payout figure. Can someone please help?thanks,
@danaidhbee
Sorry phone was having severe trouble! I did not mean this!
"Cuando los caballos salvajes
dejamos las montañas,
rara vez regresamos iguales."
Nunca se regresa igual, sobre todo cuando nos retiramos en silencio a desbordar nuestras emociones a tráves del arte, y mientras andamos en esa reconección con nosotros mismos, el arte siempre será un camino de amor para resurgir. Abrazos.
English Version
"When the wild horses
we leave the mountains,
rarely come back the same."
You never come back the same, especially when we retire in silence to overflow our emotions through art, and while we walk in that reconnection with ourselves, art will always be a way of love to resurface. Hugs.

How right you are! Yes, there's always hope. It's never too late to return to Source. And thankfully, art is one of those ways that brings us there.
¡Qué razón tienes! Sí, siempre hay esperanza. Nunca es demasiado tarde para volver a la Fuente. Y afortunadamente, el arte es una de esas formas que nos lleva allí.
hello my brother, what a joy to know that it was only a few eyelashes and that you will be well soon even though the pirate patch looks good on you, hahahaha a beautiful song and with a positive message you have that gift of giving your songs a sublime atmosphere, everything is integrating in a single wonderful sound what a joy to have you here brother greetings and success
Feels really good to hear from you, bro. Thanks for your compliments regarding the song here. And thanks for your sincere well wishing, I feel that. Yeah, someone else mentioned that the eye patch looks cool. Pretty funny. It's definitely not my preference. I believe my eyelid is healing up, but it's a slow process - already two weeks into it.
You are so right, laughter is the best treasure for unexpected situations and I am glad that this song connects with what you write because certainly art, consists in polishing ourselves like diamonds to show ourselves more and more brilliant and authentic to the world through what we love to do, in this case music, that celestial art that unites our souls through sounds that are molding an own stamp that lasts in time 💖!!!
I was very happy to hear from you Brother and with a song too great that shows your creative expansion to high levels, I congratulate you Cabe, you are amazing man 🙌😀💛!!!
Get well soon Blackheart so you continue to conquer oceans of knowledge and explore new territories of consciousness where only the brave like you dare to go ☠️🌊⚓⚔️🏝️💎... You Rockkk!!! 👊😎🔥🎙️🎸🎶❤️🌟🍻💥💫💯
How fun. It's wonderful to hear from you, bro. You sure know how to bless people up with those carefully chosen words (and emojis) you give so graciously. Thank you for being such a dear sweet person.
Tu eres luz y no puedes permaner oculto tienes que darnos luz a todos en #hive, para mi eres un pirata de corazon verde 💚, te sobra pasión por lo cual eres un gran Artista.
Aw. Brings me joy to hear from you, sister. Thanks for your kind words. Yeah, I'm a green hearted pirate for you. Hugs.
Aw. Me alegra saber de ti, hermana. Gracias por tus amables palabras. Sí, soy un pirata de corazón verde para ti. Abrazos.
Hey man, this is great...missed hearing your entries. You really did good with this piece, you're an amazing songwriter and musician, I enjoyed the music. Great job indeed Cabe, sorry about your eye,....I hope it heals ASAP, Blessings bro 🙏
Feels like my eye is healing up - today is much less swollen than yesterday, thankfully. Thanks for your sweet note @sleemfit. I'm really glad to know you, bro.
Oh great to know... Hopefully it heals soon enough and when next you make an entry, no more eye patch 😉. I'm really glad to know you as well man, Blessings 🙏
Que buena entrada amigo @cabelindsay , me ha encantado tu trabajo, felicitaciones y éxitos para ti amigo..
Hola, hola...
amé esa canción, lo felicito. -
It's good to see you again, Mr. Musical Pirate. Nice to see it back in action.
Wow la verdad está canción es fantástica...todo un gusto escucharla. Saludos amigo!
Happy to hear from you my friend, and I'm grateful for your lovely compliment. Thank you.
Feliz de saber de ti, mi amigo, y estoy agradecido por tu encantador cumplido. Gracias.
It is so beautiful and relaxing when we can find laughter in our pains, joy in the midst of our afflictions, and happiness when everything seems gloomy.
"Finding serenity in the midst of Chaos", just like I always call it, is a very difficult task, but when we do, it helps us lighten the burden we bear. I'm sure you are going through a very difficult and painful experience, but the laughter and joy has aided greatly to soothe your pains and relieve you, at least, and that is beautiful. Much more beautiful is the composition you've shared with us today. This is so lovely.
Ay sire! Get well soon!
Thanks for your excellent note @ksam. You're right about the beauty of finding the opportunity within the challenge. I see that over and over in life. In fact, I'm told that the very center of a hurricane is an "eye" that is calm and still, and the outer edge of that peaceful center is where we find the fiercest wild winds.
This analogy makes lots of sense, but how difficult it is to stay in the "Eye" of the Hurricane or to maintain that position with the fierce movement of the Hurricane. That's how seemingly impossible it is to find Happiness in the midst of calamities. But when we do, we'll surely feel the peace and tranquility.
Oh man, you got that right! Can you imagine, being in that central threshold with those wicked winds all around? Terribly difficult to stay centered. Indeed, it's impossible. But then it is written, "All things are possible through He who strengthens me," and that gives me the idea that the central column is much like a pillar of light connecting with the divine.
