I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #737 - My Commitment to Hive Trumps Almost Everything - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Saturday, August 3, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I realized yesterday that my commitment to Hive and what I do here is more important to me than even using that Hive time to spend time with a beautiful woman, who wants to spend time with me, and where there is a mutual vibe, if she is not willing to acknowledge Hive's importance to me, or my commitment to it, and allow me to shift my schedule over time, to make time and space for her. That's basically the reason that this lovely dance with Lizzie came to and end yesterday in the early evening.

Yes, it sucked, but there is no way in hell that I am just giving up everything that I've been building and growing on Hive for the past almost 3 years for such a new connection who isn't willing to work with me around it. That's just not happening.

What happened last night really hit home to me just how important Hive and this incredible community truly are to me. If a woman comes into my life, what I do here must be understood and respected. Period. Yes, I absolutely do want a balance between my day-to-day life and my digital endeavors, but my work with Hive, and other sovereignty-driven technologies, needs to honored too, as they are indeed very important to me.

While I do feel a little sad and disappointed that things between Lizzie and I flowed this way, I stand solid in my decision. This commitment to Hive is also a commitment to all of you, my fellow Hivers, and to our mutual growth together. It would be lovely if a woman that I love could join me in that, but whether she does or not, I will continue doing what I'm doing here, every day. I want to create mutually-beneficial beauty in both domains.

Yesterday, Saturday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive round, around 2PM. I'm a bit backed up on undrunk kefir, so I didn't strain out another batch yet. I took a few photos for these posts, but I need to take many more, as with all the time that I was spending with Lizzie, I took very few photos at all, so I don't have enough for tomorrow's post. It was rainy and cloudy yesterday, so no photos, so that's one of the important things that I'll be doing today. In between rain showers, I collected a wheelbarrow full of assorted edible tree leaves for cow-milking food. I returned to the Flow House early due to the wet weather, which is when, after a short text exchange, Lizzie came up to talk with me. It was in that conversation that I received the above-mentioned clarity around my commitment to Hive, and where our connection as it had been flowing, ended. After Lizzie left, I got straight to Hive, getting a few important tasks done, and of course catching up on my notifications. Since I started so early, and because I caught up a good bit in the morning, I was able to get everything done on Hive by around 9PM, and I was in bed just before 9:30PM. I woke up around 8AM, so a good long sleep, doing a round of token management, starting on this post, and then getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee.

I had to work for the milk that I put in my superfood fire coffee this morning, as there was no milk in the fridge, and Aukuna, who usually milks, cut one of his fingers, so he could only milk with one hand. So I ended up helping him milk our cow, Daisy, this morning, right before writing this post. It's now close to 1PM, so a marvelous time to end this post, so that I can get to my few important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House later in the afternoon, to take photos for these posts, and for my next entry in the Shadow Hunters Contest. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until the next version of this post tomorrow! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

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. 

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
