I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #731 - A Radical Shift of Worlds - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Sunday, July 28, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Where do I begin? Well, over the weekend I experienced what I can only describe as a shift of worlds, wherein my experience changed immensely and radically in an exceptionally beautiful way, and with such speed that my head is still spinning. It's been said that when we are truly ready, what we want appears in our lives, and that's exactly how this giant shift feels to me. So in my post yesterday, which marked not only two years of writing and publishing this series of posts, but also just over two years since the breakup with my last girlfriend Kai, which catalyzed their beginning. I also mentioned in that post how over the last month that it's felt to me the my broken heart has finally healed, and that I was actually feeling open and ready for a close, deep, intimate relationship with a woman once again. I talked about my completely out-of-left-field unexpected and sublimely sweet connection that I experienced with Lizzie on Saturday, too. Yeah, about that...oh, Lizzie...

On Sunday (yesterday), after finishing up on Hive and a few tasks around the property, I met up with Lizzie again, and ended up spending the whole rest of the day and night with her. We spent our first bit of time together in the fenced garden next to Kana's place, with me showing and introducing her to various important medicinal plants there. As we visited different plants, we collected leaves and young twigs of a handful of them to prepare into a tea, which we started in Tutu's and continued in the Landing. After leaving the chopped plants to steep in the first batch of hot water, we went to spend some time sunbathing on the trampoline in the Peanut Lawn, where we shared more fun conversation, laughter, and touch. Once we left the trampoline, we collected and shared a little wine, and some (home-grown) tobacco mixed with some ganja (grown by a dear friend who lives just down our jungle roads a bit) up at the Flow House, which was quite lovely indeed!I worked on her shoulders for a bit, at her request, which she very much enjoyed. Upon inquiring what she felt most inspired to do, cuddling in my bed was her reply. Although I won't go into any great detail, while it did just start as cuddling, it grew and unfolded into much closer and more intimate connection, touch, and sharing, that was unspeakably exquisite, nourishing, meaningful, enthralling, and fun, for both of us. The simplest way to describe this glorious experience and connection that I shared with Lizzie last night is to say that she and I seem to have an exceedingly deep, full, and nuanced compatibility that honestly blows our minds. I'll leave it at that for the moment. She ended up sleeping up at the Flow House last night, which is the first time in over two years that I've shared a bed with a woman. As such, while Lizzie slept like a beautiful baby, I didn't sleep a wink all night unfortunately. That is a common experience for me when I share a bed with someone for the first time.

Because I spent from late afternoon to the next morning (this morning) with Lizzie, for the first time in over two years, I skipped my evening Hive rounds, and catching up on my notifications. I'm quite concerned about this, as I don't know yet when I'm going to be able to get fully caught up, as it's very likely that I'll be spending time with her again tonight. I have to devote time at some point today to focusing on Hive, I just don't know when yet. With this utterly incredible woman now in my life, I also don't know yet how I'm going to fit spending extended amounts of time with her, which I very much desire and intend to do, and getting my daily weekly Hive tasks done. The biggest challenge will be catching up on my notifications each day, as that's what requires so much time each evening and night to complete.

So it would seem that I have reached a point where I am in need of reorganizing what I do on Hive somehow, to be able to make space for spending time with Lizzie. How am I going to do this? I have no bloody idea yet...lol! Talk about ironic, that Lizzie and I didn't connect, and barely even talked with each other at all for the whole time, more than two months that she's been living here, and then out of nowhere, and to the utter amazement, astonishment, and surprise of both of us, we connected very potently over the course of two days, with the highest degree of compatibility that either of us have ever experienced with another human. Wild to the max. She may also be interested in Hive, which would be both wonderful and helpful, as it may allow me to be able to connect and integrate these two very significant focuses in my life in a balanced and workable manner. I'm not willing to give up on my commitment and dedication to what I do on Hive, and I also plan to continue spending time with Lizzie, so I'll see how this all flows!

Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House around 12:30PM, after finishing up my Hive tasks, putting my focus first on straining out and blending kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao), putting my session laundry in the dryer after washing it, among a few other smaller tasks, before finally getting together with Lizzie once again.

When Lizzle left the Flow House early this morning, because I had to write and publish My 113th Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: All 3 Weekly Goals Smashed, and 7,300 Surpassed! post, make my superfood fire coffee, and then write this post, parting was such sweet sorrow. Knowing that we'll be connecting again at various points in the day makes both of our hearts very happy. It's now just after 1:15PM, so an excellent time to end this post, so that I can get to a few important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to first make lunch for Iolanthe, hopefully take more photos for these posts, take photos for my entry in the Reflection Hunters Contest, and do my absolute best to catch up on Hive as much as I possibly can before tonight, when I'll probably be spending time with Lizzie once. I have to fit land work in the day somewhere too, but I hage clue where just yet. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until either my Reflection Hunters post or the next version of this post tomorrow! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
