Namaste Steemians :)

In Issue #3 of Curation Weekly, five (5) incredible pieces of content created by Steemians are highlighted in this issue. It is absolutely such a joy for the @buildawhale Curation Team to be able to read and enjoy so many pieces of content with no restrictions.

Any Steemian, doesn't matter the length of time on Steemit, time since posting, or other factors are available to be selected to be highlighted in an issue of Curation Weekly. All you have to do for an amazing piece of content created on the Steemit platform is:

Send 0.01-.05 SBD to @buildawhale and put the URL of the epic content in the memo.

Simple enough?

The @buildawhale team tries to make it as convenient as possible for you to nominate an epic piece of content you find.

We know; we have written so many articles we put our souls into and nothing.

Our goal with @buildawhale powered by Concentrated Curation is to reward the Steemians who put their mind, body, and soul into their work and maybe haven't gotten the eyeballs and recognition they deserve.

Nominate away. @buildawhale runs 24/7 and OG Tech Ninja @themarkymark makes sure every Steemian gets the value they are promised.

If he can build @buildawhale by himself what do you think he could do as a witness? He has own node so if you do your research into @themarkymark and you appreciate his skill set we appreciate the support.

From my personal experience, he is one of the kindest, gentle, hard-working souls I have met. One of the few souls I would run thru a brick wall for. Thank you again for all the tireless effort and sleepless nights you give that literally no one knows about. That is the true definition of a leader. What they do when no one is watching.

We are too excited about the following pieces of content so here they are:

The first highlighted piece of epic content is @evgsk insightful post titled: "Under the Impression, Thoughts about Coffee."

Wow if you are looking for an efficient and effective piece of content from the Steemit universe, this is it. @evgsk masterfully shares an original poem about coffee and also delivers epic insights that some coffee fanatics might have not been aware of. I know for sure I had no idea about the info shared in this post and I drink coffee multiple times a day.

"The answer is simple..."

Where was coffee discovered and how? Was it a Post it Note type experience? What happened?

Even if you don't have thoughts on coffee, this is one of the best efficient pieces of content the @buildawhale Curation Team has spotted and will answer all the questions in such an eloquent way.

Quality content doesn't have to be long to be epic.

One piece of feedback regarding those links at the end of the post to your other poems. We think its epic you have those there, we just would do what Whaleshares and BeyondBit does and have a cool clickable image to take you right to your other poems. Choose an image that corresponds to the message you are trying to poetry in that poem. Images grab attention and attention is what you want as a poet and writer.

Thanks again for all the insight and good vibes you gave us with this piece of content @evgsk. Keep doing great things.

P.S. Interesting fact @evgsk you spelled Interesting wrong on your title ;)

The second awesome piece of content highlighted is @steempowergarden's absolutely incredible piece of content titled: "Home Gardening with Updates - Seed Starting Update (August 14, 2017)

DQmegTBMEsTN76v1L9qSTCoZU4VSdszCCwg7ZgwzQQZwrvV_1680x8400.jpg

How the heck did you set all this up so efficiently and effectively? Are you part robot? :)

This is one of the most incredible nature related posts on Steemit. the progression you tell with the incredible first hand pictures is absolutely a sight to see.

Not only do you have epic photographs in this post, the knowledge and text you deliver is extremely valuable.

You give us nice reminders like "the new plants will need 15-20 more days of growing..." and insightful quick tips like "... roots hanging at least 1.5" out of the rockwool medium before [transplant]."

This would take Steemians forever to find out all this useful information about hydroponics that can be applied to these plants directly and also experiment with in other species to learn by doing. you really inspired us with this piece. Namaste.

The first post @bethalea chose for the Curation Digest is titled, “The Greatest Mind in Steemit” by @shivohum2015.

Reading anything that allows the reader insight into the writer’s soul, into their heart and mind, is a truly epic gift. That’s what this piece was for me.

The first thing I thought as i read was that perhaps you, @shivohum2015, could have asked someone to proofread this post for you, to edit it to make sure it flowed a little bit better.

And then I got completely caught up in your story and stopped thinking about details like grammar and shit.

Your sarcasm just BLEEDS through, and I adore sarcasm.

Your disdain for this pompous ass of a dinner guest calls to me from your words.

And then your ending,

“Why...? Because nobody wants normal, average things any more. Only the great genius people are popular these days. Nonsense. All frauds with big words...........”

This is so right on and speaks to so many of us, I believe. We are all a little (VERY) tired of trying to be some other person’s version of GENIUS. When what we ARE is genius in itself. By being true to yourself, you’ve already won.

So, all in all, a good story and thank you for sharing this piece of you. It is very appreciated.

The fourth article highlighted in this issue of Curation Digest is: “When I Met this JACK ASS” by @geetasnani.

Oh, y’all are in for a TREAT with this one, let me tell you!

She starts out with a donkey … wait, here:

And goes on to define what the hell a donkey actually IS, in all its shapes and forms in a super fun and interesting way. Being a poker player personally, the DONKEY has a special place in my heart… and I LEARNED some things about this beast I hadn’t already known!

I thought that would be it… it could have been it, her first part was so fun and interesting I might have still put it up for the Curation Digest, but then THIS happened:

“The old man, his son and the donkey
It told the tale of an old man who journeyed with his son and a donkey.”

She goes on to tell a parable about a… well, check the title. An Old Man, His Son, and a Donkey. Which is a fun little story and she adds pictures, which we all like, don’t lie. ;)

And then she brings it HOME with a personal story that highlights and brings together the two previous pieces of her article but not before she gifts us this;

“Most of us...are plagued with the affliction of this old man and his son in this story, which is the affliction of indecision.”

BOOM.

That gem right there has changed my life, and I cannot thank you enough for it, @geetasnani. Consider yourself FOLLOWED, my friend. I look forward to reading more from you and thank you for sharing so much of yourself in this piece.

The last post curated is this incredible piece by @urs titled, “Color Challenge Wednesday Yellow -- Golden rain tree (cassia fistula)/ Dok Koon in Thailand”

This is one of the finest photography entries I’ve ever seen. I have even taken part of some of these challenges and been blessed to see some amazing pictures in the past… however. HOW. EVER. The way @urs incorporates absolutely stunning photographs - and they are STUNNING - with short, informative descriptions above each photo is epic.

Dig it:


The golden rain tree is native to Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent.The tree grows in tropical and subtropical areas.
It's the national tree of Thailand and the flower is their national flower.In India,it's the state flower of Kerala.


This piece isn’t long, it isn’t in perfect English, and yet it is absolutely moving and informative. Thank you so much for sharing, @urs.
