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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

This is the very first of these daily posts that I've written and published after the 2PM cutoff (when Hive's UTC time switches to another day), as I was unable to write it within that period. Thankfully I saw that I was not going to be able to make the deadline, so I quickly wrote and published My Entry for Reflection Hunters Contest: Round 185 - Jabuticaba Reflections post in its place just before attending to what I needed. My determination and tenacity to keep my commitments made it happen again.

As I mentioned in my post yesterday, a momentous Shift is about to happen (and already is in multitudinous small yet significant ways) in humanity and the world. This shift is directly affecting me and everyone in this jungle community, and to a profound degree, and it only seems to be growing more and more intense with each passing day. On my part, it feels like my blinders are coming off, and that I can see everything with far greater clarity.

Without going into details, for the first time since I've been back to GaiaYoga Gardens, I'm feeling like energy is shifting quickly, which is exactly what I always begin to feel right before a huge shift in my life happens, often with a move to a new location. I don't yet fully know what this means, but the possibility exists that I might leave this jungle community where I've lived for the past five and a half years. Of course, I have no clue yet where I would go where I'd be able to live as I want, on my own terms. That concerns me quite a lot. This may or may not happen, but it's a strong feeling.

I've lived here for the vast majority of my time on the Big Island, and there is much that I love about this place. I've also mentioned many times how the challenges of living here have always been equal to what I love about it. I'm beginning to finally see and understand that this might not actually be a good thing. I honestly don't know what's going to happen yet, as with how wild things are getting, I'm pretty much just taking things a day a time now. Regardless of whether I remain here, or leave for somewhere else, my commitment and dedication to Hive, and what I'm building and growing here, will remain solid.

Yesterday, Thursday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, around 2:30PM, putting my focus on taking more photos for these posts. With that done, I got my machete and went to do some clearing work around Thimbleberry for Melekai. When I had that done, I took a shower, then I made myself some spiced and seasoned ground beef with tomatoes, onions, and cheese. Once my food was done, I collected my jar of superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, and with my food in the other hand, I headed back to the Flow House, to get into my evening round of Hive tasks, and catching up on my notifications. I got everything done by just before 9:15PM, and after a little more token management, and scanning my Bastyon and X feeds for a good while, I went to bed just before 12:30AM. I woke up just after 7:15AM, still feeling like I needed more sleep, doing a round of token management, beginning on this post, and then getting out of bed around 8AM to go make my superfood fire coffee.

I milked the cow again this morning, with Lizzie's help, since there was no one else to do it. This was the first time I was the lead in this endeavor, since I had only helped with it a few times in the past, and super thankfully it all went smoothly. As soon as that was done, I returned to the Flow House (I thought) to write this post. That didn't happen, however, which is why I had to take the emergency measure of writing and publishing my entry for the Reflection Hunters Contest in its place, something I was planning to do later in the day. It's now just after 4PM, so it's a very unusual time to end this post, so that I can get to my few important Hive tasks, and then get on with the rest of my day. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until the next incarnation 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
