RE: Steemit Open Mic Week #89 - No Scrubs by TLC + Why I've been gone for a while
i felt the same way about the openmic community... they are one of the giant reasons why I believe in Steem.
This one poem says it all... it really does..
'No Man is an Island'
No man is an island entire of itself; every man
is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;
if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe
is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as
well as any manner of thy friends or of thine
own were; any man's death diminishes me,
because I am involved in mankind.
And therefore never send to know for whom
the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply @meno! What a beautiful poem that really sums up the importance of community. I'm glad to be back and re-energized to get involved in the community here. Open Mic is one of the coolest corners of Steemit. It's pretty incredible that so many incredible musicians get together every week and celebrate their love for music.
