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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
As most of you who frequent these posts know, I take a lot of photos. Like a lot. And since I'm taking them on my phone, I always eventually come to a point where I begin to run out of internal storage, which is what happened to me this morning. What this means is that I have to move a large chunk of photos off my phone, on to one of my laptop hard drives, before I am able to take more photos today. I plan to do this after I finish up all my Hive tasks.
I've been taking many photos each day for most of my over 3 years on Hive, so I've accumulated tens of thousands of photos, and this is even after trimming then down to just best shots. Most of my photos are of nature, plants, sunrises and sunsets, clouds and sky, and the play of light and shadows. They're too beautiful to me to simply delete, so I save them. I don't know if or when I'll ever use any of them again, after their publication in my Hive posts, but I do hope that I'm able to find some good use for them.
As I've mentioned before, it was from me getting involved in various photo contests on Hive that sparked my passion for photography. It's so important to me now that I have it scheduled into my day. As I'm walking around each day, I always have my eyes 👀 open looking for good shots. It's a bugger when I find fantastic shots, but I don't have my phone with me. So many great shots have been missed! I am happy, though, with all the amazing photos that I have gotten over the years.
So BTC has gone past yet another all-time high, $99,000 in fiat-dollar value, with no signs of stopping anytime soon. The crypto market is so interesting at the moment, because most other coins and tokens are not following Bitcoin's massive rise, aside from some like DOGE. We're all still waiting for the exceptional jump in BTC investments to filter down to the rest of the crypto world.
BTC is the first, spearhead, that will open the way for other cryptocurrencies like HIVE, QORT, DESO, and PKOIN, among others, to grow massively in investments and value. This is just the beginning of an incredible and exciting crypto journey.
Yesterday, Thursday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, around 2:15PM. While I was really needing it to be sunny for photography, it was the opposite, being rainy and cloudy all day long. I worked with the conditions that presented themselves, and I ended up taking enough photos for two days of posts. Yesterday was also the last day that I could take photos for my entry in the Shadow Hunters Contest, but with no sun to create any distinct, sharp shadows, I had to get a bit more creative for my entry. Thankfully I was able to take a pretty good batch of shadow shots. Since there was no sun, I strained and blended kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao) in the Landing first, then I focused on the above-mentioned photography. My main community tasks of the day were my usual collecting cow-milking food, as well as clearing the way more to the second milking location, and leveling the ground under where Daisy the cow stands during milking. I finished up just before sunset, first taking a shower, then making myself some food in the Landing (yet more guacamole toast - I made so much guac!), before heading back to the Flow House to get into my evening round of Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I finished up everything on Hive by around 9:30PM, at which point I wrote and published My Entry for Shadow Hunters Community Contest/Show Me a Shadow: Round 348 - Soft Sheet Shadows post, and then after some token management, and a scan of my X feed, I went to bed around 11:45PM. I did very thankfully sleep well, waking up around 8AM, doing another round of token management, beginning on this post, doing a little more catching up on my notifications, and then getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee, and to milk the cow with Jo(hanna). As soon as I was done with milking, I made my way back to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just before 12:30PM, so a great time to end this post, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, send out the IDD rewards for the Shadow Hunters Contest, then transfer photos from my phone to my computer, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to first put my attention on more photography for these posts, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until the next iteration of this post tomorrow! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
2024 Life Goals

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
