I live naked and barefooted, very close to Earth and Nature, in an 18-acre, off-grid, clothing-optional, food-forest intentional community (GaiaYoga Gardens), way out in the jungles of Lower Puna, far East Big Island, Hawai'i, and I have for more than 6 years now. Although there are many challenges, I love my life, and I'm immensely grateful to live where and how I do, on my own terms! I would not want to live any other way! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙
Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
Over the past few months I've been having the growing feeling that several significant puzzle pieces to what I've been working to create are coming together, and in greater and more rapid ways, in my life here at GaiaYoga/Lower Puna, with what I'm building here on Hive, as well as on other sovereignty and community-driven blockchains where I'm also actively engaged. I'm entirely purpose-driven and focused now, and the effects of this are become more apparent by the day. I feel immense and growing excitement and satisfaction around this, and also, surprisingly, some nervousness as well, because with the assortment of different things across multiple domains beginning or getting close to falling into place, I really want everything to turn out well, and as hoped and intended.
Because that for which I'm working is so beautiful and important to me, and I'm beginning to see the fruits of my labor, online and on-chain, and offline and off-chain, regardless of any uneasiness that I might feel from time to time, I am absolutely focused and determined to make it happen, no matter what. There's a feeling of guided providence in this as well, that certain things have come into my awareness at exactly the right moment, to help move me to forward, onward, and upward, to the next steps and stages in the actualization and realization of this passion and purpose that drives me.
Most of my nervousness comes from the fact that as more components come closer to moving into a good place, multiple of these seeds that I've planted, and which I've been tending, need to come to fruition at around the same time for everything to flow and work properly. While I know that I'll be led to where I need, when I need it, as I have been up until now, my human mind still worries quite a lot, especially since I'm starting to implement some major changes in my life and how I do things, so there is some fear around my choices, and how well I'll be able to flow with the results of them.
Regardless of how and when these myriad puzzle pieces do end up coinciding or not, I will adapt, improvise, and overcome, with indomitable and relentlessly tenacious commitment, determination, and perseverance. I know that all this is a bit vague, and that I've shared little to no detail, but honestly I share a good bit about it all daily in these posts, and I don't want to befuddle the process by talking about it too much yet.
I'd much rather just quietly and diligently focus my energies on making things happen, rather then talking about them. Plus, I really enjoy surprising people. I'm a whole-system builder and synergizer, and my mind is ever-more enthralled by the possibilities that I'm seeing. The next few months should be very interesting indeed, I'll just say that. This isn't just about me, or what I'm building for myself, of course, because everything that I do is based on Maximum Mutual Benefit for one and all. I'm equally excited for what I'll soon be able to contribute to the Hive, Alive Tribe, and Blurt communities. This is going to be very fun!
Yesterday, Wednesday, after I finished my Hive tasks by around 12:30PM, I prepared for my session at 1:30PM, and thankfully with so much time to spare, I had some much appreciated space in my day. The session started on time, and we wrapped it up by just before 5:30PM, after which I stopped by the Landing to collect my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and then I headed immediately back to the Flow House, to power up the HIVE that I'd been saving all month for the April HPUD, write and publish my post about it, May HPUD - HIVE Power Up Day - 47.799 HIVE Powered Up!, and then to gently dive into my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I've been one to two days behind since Monday, and although I wasn't able to get through all of them, I did make a huge dent in my backlogged notifications. I made myself stop just after 11:30PM, to do some asset management, and to check my notifications on Blurt, before finally going to bed just after 12:30AM. I woke up around 7AM, having slept fairly well, doing more asset management, starting on this post, getting out of bed around 8:30AM to go make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, before returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just about 2PM, so an exceedingly good time to end this post, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House shortly to take photos for these posts, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's iteration of this post! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
2025 Life Goals
1.) Do regular integral practices again, alone or with others.
2.) Prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again.
3.) Make my plant nursery, and the gardens, beautiful again.
4.) Begin learning relevant coding/programming languages to more fully contribute to the sovereignty-driven technologies where I am active, like Arch Linux, Hive, Qortal, DeSo, and Bastyon.
All photos were taken with my Motorola G Play 2024 Android Phone.
Thank you all so much who have helped me get to where I am today, and allowing me to share more of the beauty and magic from my life and my world with you, and for your continuous appreciation and support! I am truly deeply grateful! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
