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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

There is so much about my life, and my work on Hive, and on Blurt now too, for which I'm incredibly grateful, and for which I have a great deal of excitement bubbling up, which is inspiring immense motivation within me to continue forward on my present path. There are most definitely some very significant and not-so-fun challenges still present in my personal life, and on Hive as well, but even with those, the beauty outshines the difficulties.

I'm experiencing a quickening and lightening of energy, and I feel multitudes of massive realignments and shifts occurring within myself, humanity, and the world, with its potent ripples even touching our digital blockchain domains. The notable and increasing challenges and crisis points are the catalysts, not only for awakening and greater awareness, but also an internal upwelling in people everywhere to be, and to shine, the light in the darkness. This takes much courage, and a tenacious and burning commitment to making our part of the physical and digital world better than it was before, and to assist, help, and support those around us as much as possible.

We can accomplish so much more, and we're so much stronger, together. Disagreements don't have to be fatal blows to the heart of mutual respect, kindness, cooperation, or collaboration. We can disagree on various things, even important things, and still work together, for the good of all.

I can feel what I could call tingles of new potentials and possibilities making their presence known, tickling my awareness, connected with an opening, smoothing, and lightening of energy, like new doorways or pathways appearing where there were none. With this, I've been experiencing notably smoother, more flowing, and more easeful days, along with more beautiful and meaningful moments in those days.

No, things are not perfect or ideal, and there are important things missing in my life, connected to wounds that I still need to heal within myself, but overall most things are are feeling and working better than even a short time ago. I'm getting the vibe that my life, and my experiences within it, are moving in a far more enjoyable, fun, aligned, and integrally whole direction. What happens inside of us is mirrored in the world, and it's time to heal, to return to wholeness, so that our radiantly glorious new adventure may begin.

Yesterday, Friday, after finishing up my Hive tasks by around 12:30PM, I prepared for a session that was scheduled for 1:30PM. The session started sooner than expected, it went very well, and we finished it up just about 7PM. Afterward, I stopped by the Landing to collect my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and then I returned to the Flow House to begin my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications, a bit later than usual due to the long session. I got everything done by just before 10:30PM, and after some asset management, and a scan of my X fees, I went to bed around 12:15PM. I woke up quite late, about 8AM, still feeling that I needed more sleep, doing more asset management, going to make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, then returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 1PM, so it's a lovely time to wrap this up, so that I may get to my other few important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to focus first on photography, collecting more coconut meat and coconut water from several younger coconuts to start another round of kefir fermenting, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's expression of these posts! 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.

How beautiful are the mushrooms in the garden, my friend, are you there? I am interested in seeing the view and the whole scene of this garden. But how can I go there if you are so far away? I really like the flowers, beautiful mushrooms, and the beautiful nature, green plants in the garden. Thank you very much for presenting this wonderful forest to all of us.
