Hey folks! I thought this sounded cool so please see the link below for the piece I am entering in the contest! Have a great day! https://steemit.com/svq/@cryptanjoman/steemit-vision-quest-entry-decompostition-2-the-roc

How cool! I checked out your link, and the image is very interesting. Yes, it works well for this community challenge. Is this photo original?

These eagles you've found in the woodgrain, wow, I really enjoy seeing them. Reminds me of a previous Quest, when someone shared a seashell with an angel's image in it.

Wow! I'm glad that you like it! Yes, the photo is original too. I have to say: Thank you for running this cool contest! I have only been on here for a few days & finding your blog with this contest idea was a nice surprise! I've recently developed an interest in stone age tools and art & the barn-board thing is informed by that. I have a few other things up on my blog https://steemit.com/@cryptanjoman, please check them out if you'd like. Thanks again!

Very cool! Welcome to Steemit, my friend. Yeah, it took me a long while before I caught my stride here on Steemit, and of course I still have room for improvement. I've grown in many ways since arriving here, especially in the way of finding my voice as a communicator, curator, and brother to many. Hoping you'll find quality connections here, and a place to fan your creative fire. 🔥✨

Thank you again for the warm welcome and a Big Up to Steemit/svq! Peace!

Yaaaaaaay the svq its back! This theme is so great, fire fire fire!

Yeah, happy to hear from you! Ow-ow-oWoo!!! 🔥

I am very excited to get back on the vision quest xx

Thanks for this recognition. I appreciate your reminders of the signs of success on this platform.

Good one. Yeah, this is a great way of expanding upon the simplicity of this mantra, as if you are seeing the many petals unfolding as the lotus blossoms. And I especially appreciate your way of seeing the shadow work happening at the root, where the lotus seed is nourished by the mud that makes it grow. Aho.

My entry is a collection of photos, sharing the story of miracles I experienced with my son a few weeks ago in the Wyoming wilderness. I learned to surrender to the flow of Spirit, following my son's lead, just as the lotus seed surrenders to the mud that nourishes it, and allows it to grow and bloom as the waterlily.

Heeeey! This is my entry for the svq, a series of photos from darkness to light, I hope you enjoy it!
