By conveying our deeper thoughts on Hive, we can uplift and support each other across the blockchain. This week we had some wonderful authors visit to share their life reflections, wisdom, and snapshots of their experience on this rock with us.<br><br>No matter if they have responded to our weekly prompt, or posted on their own topics, we wanted to take a moment to celebrate thoughtfulness on chain! We hope you will consider taking the time to check their writing out and support their work! You may even make a new friend. ✌️<br><center><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/thoughtfulposts/23uFPZ3YFkNQRW65zTtkUWQ7XsXkHYbsUT22j3KbX3EBdV7Q8kfncvyrHRBtXiyNTmSDA.jpg" alt="Today in thoughtfulness....jpg"></center><br><br><center><h3><a href="/@dbooster/form-is-emptiness-emptiness-is-form-or-the-is-no-god-and-he-is-always-with-you">Form Is Emptiness, Emptiness Is Form; or, The is No God and He is Always With You</a> by @dbooster</h3></center><center><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/dbooster/AJoMCBGk2DGBL4TeTNqMLcpmgXKGvj4jvpsebZbQdYLxafh8trvCPq7sN7SkzJD.png"></center><br><center><blockquote>In Sanshōdōeishū 6, Zen master and Sōtō founder Dōgen Zenji wrote:  春は花 夏ほととぎす 秋は月 冬雪さえて すずしかりけり haru wa hana natsu hototogisu aki wa tsuki  fuyu yuki saete  suzushikarikeri  in spring, the flowers; in summer, the cuckoo’s song; in autumn, the moon; and in winter, the snow—clear and cold. how serene it is. or even more simply:  spring—blossoms summer—cuckoo song autumn—the moon winter—clear, white snow such calm, such clarity.

She was a carpenter, a hardworking one for that matter, and the first of her kind in Ghana. When she started her carpentry journey, people were laughing at her, and others even told her to look for something easier because it was a profession for men. But she didn’t listen to anyone; she kept going. Years along the line, she started making money and supplying a large number of people</blockquote></center><br><hr><br><center><h3><a href="/@palomap3/la-fuerza-de-la-motivacion-interna-the-power-of-internal-motivation">La fuerza de la motivación interna // The power of internal motivation</a> by @palomap3</h3></center><center><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/palomap3/EoeHNMm2JLnj4Gbm712qGgzRhfVPyv9zcJXyB1LbopEa6n9LQZzJbnMwakkqMEYVar4.jpeg"></center><br><center><blockquote>Hola querido hiver. Bienvenido a un nuevo volcado cerebral, de esos que sirven para buscar luz entre pensamientos infinitos. La Semana Santa es una época en la que aprovecho para reflexionar. Con el primer trimestre del año completado y el cambio de estación y de horario camino del verano, los días se alargan, las plantas rebrotan y la actividad en las calles aumenta. Los días festivos, además, proporcionan un espacio vacío por rellenar y qué mejor manera de hacerlo que en compañía de mí misma, observando si estoy llevando la vida que quiero llevar, cuáles son mis objetivos, qué estoy haciendo para acercarme a ellos, qué significado tiene lo que hago</blockquote></center><br><hr><br><center><h3><a href="/@driipam/read-a-book-seriously">Read a Book (Seriously.)</a> by @driipam</h3></center><center><img src="https://images.hive.blog/DQmQFcBUoENcdhCHQMRusB8tBgR4bKdH9q6mfWij7xq9vNx/IMG_7476.jpeg"></center><br><center><blockquote>Hello everyone :)! Whenever I’m walking down Ilica (the longest street in Zagreb), something new always catches my eyes and makes me stop & smile🥹. And no, it’s not a store with the latest stuff or some wild street performer playing Despacito (yup.. we have that too😭) on a saxophone (although… respect).

Over the years, i was told that people's lifestyle depends on so many things, and those are, their backgrounds, nature of job's, and things that interest them. Speaking about me, I will say that, there are no much thing's that i cherish like happiness, the deal is, it makes me push away hard stuffs i don't like, which wanted to change my mindset, and then, also make my heart to be like a new born baby. Take for instance, do baby's got worried if the mother treat them in a rubber plates or a plates that is made of gold material? No, they don't, and as a matter of fact, they wouldn't even know what material is it, once the meal is full of milk, they will eat to their satisfaction, and still be playing whenever the mother is around</blockquote></center><br><hr><br><center><h3><a href="/@beckyroyal/nostalgic-thoughtful-thursday-40">Nostalgic...

The coming of the Holy week is a festival that we gave so much thought and pomp to just like Christmas as it significance held eternal value. Back in the day as a child, I recalled that we treated the Holy week as Holy  up until Easter Sunday. Prior to the Holy week, my family would also engage in the Lent fast for forty days but I was not very consistent with mine. Then after the period of Lent, we would pertake in  several programs organized by our church</blockquote></center><br><hr><br><center><h3><a href="/@ainajane/holy-week-should-always-be">Holy Week should always be Holy: Then&Now: prompt 40</a> by @ainajane</h3></center><center><img src="https://images.ecency.com/DQmerNvP1uL368TbPuMzjtSQrCVWmJq4exniDx2TJadVLKE/1744995097754.jpg"></center><br><center><blockquote>Hi my people, it's Thursday and we can't but be thoughtful, especially in this Holy Week. We are in Easter period, a season to celebrate the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, the season is characterized by eating, drinking and all fun filled activities.

With how strict my parents followed the rules, I never even tried to entertain the thought of breaking any of those rules. Holy Thursday, we made sure to reach the church thirty minutes before mass, so we got a front seat before the mass started. As Catholics, on Good Friday, we followed the rule of not eating meat or milk, or anything that has blood to the core. The meal for Good Friday, in our house was usually beans with pap, custard or garri, at whatever time we break our fast that afternoon, then at night, concoction rice without meat, fish or egg, for dinner</blockquote></center><br><hr><br><center><h3><a href="/@lara-bee/whose-timing-the-world-or">Whose timing, the world or yours?</a> by @lara-bee</h3></center><center><img src="https://images.ecency.com/DQmVGHmp77bTpGGg5ZCfideQa7y4AS9ocsJb7bmTbZgNE5s/1745153742909.jpg"></center><br><center><blockquote>As humanity grows older, the standards of the world keep changing, putting a lot of people in confusion about whether to live for themselves or live for the world. This really shouldn't be something of confusion; living for yourself should be the choice for every individual, but so many people are going into that confused state, not knowing what to live for anymore. This image belong to me. I believe in living for myself; it's my desire, and I wish it were the same thing for everyone, but it isn't. So many individuals out there, especially the youth, have chosen to live for the world, therefore raising their expectations above what they can achieve at the point where they are in life, and it's pushing them into crime, depression, and anxiety, which would only worsen things</blockquote></center><br><hr><br><center><h3><a href="/@ebonymama/i-will-arise-with-him">I Will Arise With Him / Thoughtful daily post week #40</a> by @ebonymama</h3></center><center><img src="https://images.ecency.com/DQmNVGV4nKe31g6kCqfgKvjTX6cXyVgmRfzH8FVHXShayo7/img_20250420_094233_695.jpg"></center><br><center><blockquote>Good day friends happy Easter and at the same time i welcome you into memorable week of sober reflection, a week of digging deep into the death of Jesus Christ.
