Please fill out the question below.

1. ### Could you please tell us a little bit about yourself and your journey in Hive?
My name is Cabe Lindsay. I like to say I am a "star child" because I am learning to embrace brilliance and beauty as my guiding forces in this life. Hive is my favorite social media platform, because I feel it is a good place for expression and connection. I feel I can be myself here, freely sharing my heart and mind, embracing my virtues and values. I think of Hive as an open canvas, where I can pursue my passions and cultivate my gifts, like a field for my inner garden, as I am planting seeds of harmony, love, truth, and justice.

2. ### What is the purpose of your community?
The Hive Open Mic community is a virtual stage for live music. Here, we enjoy the space for creative expression and genuine connection, reaching around the world. For me, the ultimate goal is global harmony, which is a vision of world peace through the uniting of voices. I think music is a natural medicine that helps to bring whole healing: body, heart, mind, soul, and spirit. Hive Open Mic welcomes all walks of life, as we share songs, both spiritual and secular. We celebrate diversity, honoring songs from nearly every continent, in multiple languages and various music genres. Every week is a new theme, inviting artists to share a common current as we collectively explore. The 50th Hive Open Mic theme is: "Be Reborn," for example.

3. ### How has your community evolved since you first started it?
The numbers of participants is becoming incredible, and with this growth comes new opportunities to shine. It is amazing to see the community members stepping up into various leadership roles by offering their generous listening, giving compliments to others. Music is given graciously here, giving us a chance to resonate and relate with each other. It feels like a family. I see and hear the spirit of brotherhood and sisterhood through nearly every song, article, and comment that is shared here. Both the listeners and the musicians seem to be expressing and connecting on deeper levels, through practice. Some of the artists who contribute regularly show massive growth in their artistic abilities over time. I feel I am an example of this.

4. ### What are your hopes and aspirations for Hive and the community?

I see our community as a working example of global harmony. Ultimately, I feel we are creating a love ripple that can spread around the world, bringing peace and joy. I honestly think we demonstrate this each and every week. Personally, I am witnessing a harmonizing of my own internal world as I create the peace inside myself. And on a macro-level, I believe I am witnessing a harmonious planet work its way into reality, with the spirit of music showing us the way.
