I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #621 - Somewhere Between Shutdown and Breakthrough - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Tuesday, April 9, 2024

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 5 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Some days, particularly those when I feel more shutdown and withdrawn, I simply don't know what to write. That's how today has been so far, much to my chagrin. I know the things about which I don't feel like writing right now, like myself, but I'm far less clear about which I would like to write. I've still been staying mostly to myself again for a while, taking a seeming hiatus from most of my 2024 Life Goals. They'll come back into focus shortly.

Some of my SWAP.LTC buy order went through, so I got ahold of a good chunk at a good price. It's sometimes slow going, but I've been growing my assets (originally 18.2 LTC) on Hive Engine through trading, and just seeing what's possible in terms of growth has made me put more consistent attention in that direction. At some point soon I'll be able to consistently take some to boost my HIVE/HBD growth, which is a pretty exciting possibility. Hive is one of the best places to leverage assets.

There is an inverse correlation between the time I spend with people and my productivity on Hive. When I mostly stay to myself, I get everything I need on Hive done most days. When I hang out with people, I often start late on Hive, which usually means that I'm not able to get fully caught up on notifications. I've got to find a workable balance here.

I had a session with Harmony yesterday, her last full session for this trip, which went very well indeed. Working with Harmony is a joy, for many reasons. After the session, there was a bonfire (the largest we've had) on the Peanut Lawn, that I helped build and start.

I stayed at the fire for quite a while, hanging out with Iolanthe most of the time. After the fire I made Io some food in Tutu's, and she made a fruit smoothy, which we shared. After food, I dropped off Io at Shiva-Shakti to sleep, and I returned to the Flow House, to finally get to my Hive tasks and catching up on notifications. Of course, since I started so late, I wasn't able to get my notifications fully caught up, stopping around 12:15AM, when I was still 10 hours behind. I did some token management, scanned my X feed, then I went to bed at 1AM, definitely later than I had hoped. I slept reasonably well, waking up around 7AM, doing more token management, starting on this post, then getting out of bed to go drink some water, taking the rest of the photos for this post and some for tomorrow's, sunbathing on the trampoline in the Peanut Lawn, and then returning to the Flow to write this post.

It's now just after 1:30PM, so a marvelous time to end this post, so that I can get to a few important Hive tasks, before making an important phone call, and then leaving the Flow House in the later afternoon, to first strain out kefir for my kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao blend, and then go help unload mulch and put it around coconut trees in the front orchard. I deeply appreciate you all so very much! Until tomorrow! Forward, onward, and upward, joyfully together! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

2024 Life Goals

1.) Heal my broken heart, reignite my heart sun, and embody a solid, healthy masculine, allowing my electric fire to shine bright, no matter what others, especially women, say or do. 

2.) Bring myself and my life back into balance, integration, and wholeness. 

3.) Do regular (naked) integral practices again, alone or with others. 

4.) Dance regularly again.

5.) Work with natural entheogens (mushrooms, ganja, ayahuasca), with punctuated regularity, as a part of my healing process again. 

 6.) Get, and keep, regular deep, integral energy-body-tantric work healing sessions for women flowing again.

7.) Prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again. 

8.) Make my plant nursery beautiful again.

9.) Live as an integral part of a juicy heart-resonant soul tribe community, with deep, coherent mutual and shared passion, purpose, mission, love, warmth care, sweetness, reverence, respect, aliveness, admiration, excitement, enjoyment, playfulness, work, fun, laughter, attraction, and all-level connections and relationships. 

10.) Make love with the woman, or the women, that I love, every day, as a sacred devotional practice. 

11.) 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
