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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
There is something very special about Hive. The people, communities, initiatives, contests, and tokens may change over time, and often do quite a lot, however, the bubbling potential that is the essence of Hive is always present, shouting "opportunity!" from every corner of the Blockchain. As in life, on Hive we must always be willing to let go of what was previously important, and be open to discovering and exploring new and potentially amazing possibilities.
In my 2 years, 9 months, and 20 days (1,024 days in total) on Hive I've met and come to know quite a lot of people, from all over the world, I've been a part of several communities, contests, and initiatives, as well as having learned and delt with a great many diverse tokens, and I can say that much has indeed changed since I first arrived here. There are people and various other things on Hive that are no longer present, that I miss, but honestly I'm really quite engaged and excited by what and who is now coming into my Hivesphere.
I've seen many people lose heart and motivation on Hive when one particular aspect of their Hive experience changes notably, whether it be in the form of a failed community or token, a dear friend leaving or passing away, or even the end of a contest or initiative. That's often when once active-and-engaged Hivers disappear from the Blockchain for extended periods, or even permanently. There are so many inactive Hive Accounts...and yet Hive's huge potential remains, simply waiting to be claimed and actualized, especially when we work together.
Our only limit to our growth here on Hive, or in life for that matter, is ourselves. Hive is indeed constantly changing, and to flow easefully with the changes that come we must be, as Bruce Lee said, like water 💦, able to take any form, soft yet powerful, and unwaveringly persistent over time. Those that succeed on Hive are the ones that don't give up. They shift gears, adapt, improvise, and overcome.
Yesterday, Friday, I left the Flow House later than usual, just after 3PM, after wrapping up my Hive tasks, and checking in on various other things online. I strained out and blended kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao) first, as I usually do. Once kefir was done, I spent a little time sunbathing on the trampoline in the Peanut Lawn, until the clouds decided to intercede. After sunning, I did some spot watering in my nursery, as various plants were getting a bit too dry. When I had that done, I sharpened my machete and collected a wheelbarrow full of Cecropia and Melochia leaves for cow-milking food. With that done, I got a pitch fork and another wheelbarrow to move and spread several loads of semi-decomposed mixed-wood mulch on both sides of the trail that goes to the Flow House, to expand my planting area all the way to the start of the trail. Now if I can just keep the bloody chickens out of it! I worked until both exhaustion and sunset, taking a shower afterward, collecting my leftover jar of superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, and then heading back to the Flow House, for my evening round of Hive tasks, and catching up on my notifications. Ecency's notifications seem to be mostly working again, and man did I have a lot last night! I kept going, and finally finished, just after 12:30AM, at which point I went straight to bed. I did thankfully sleep fairly well, waking up just a bit after 8:30AM, doing a round of token management, beginning on this post and on my Shadow Hunters Contest post, and then getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee just after 9:30AM.
It's just before 1:15PM, so a marvelous time to end this post, so that I can get to a few important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House later in the afternoon, to first strain out and blend kefir, hopefully take more photos for these posts, and then land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's expression of this post! 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.
