I live barefooted and naked, very close to Earth and Nature, in a 16-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. 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
Very thankfully I slept quite well last night, which was a welcome change from the night before when I slept almost nothing. I woke up around 4:30AM and couldn't get back to sleep, so I did some Hive catch up until about 6AM, when I did begin to feel sleepy again, so I fell back to sleep until just about 9AM. That was the latest I've slept in a very long time. As soon I got up, I checked on the status of my computer (which was still downloading 12.68 GB of packages go upgrade), then I went to the Landing to make my superfood fire coffee. I began the process of making it, but I put it on hold becuase we planned to have a community NVC meeting at 9AM, which we began, but then had to reschedule. I had to go unload and distribute a half-truck load of cinders that I didn't do yesterday because I was feeling so off balance and tired. 
Once the truck was unloaded, I went back to finish making my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, then I returned to the Flow House to start my 'morning' Hive thing at about 12PM, and to continue working on, and keeping track of my computer's update process. I had a pretty good flow doing my Hive tasks and intervening on my computer from time to time when needed. I wrote and published my Index4Index Daily Inspired Motivation: The Master Key of Balance post toward the end of my time up at the Flow House. I stayed doing my Hive-and-computer thing until just after 3:30PM, at which point I went to do some land work.
The first thing that I did was to take two big pots of fine cinder to spread along the lava path leading to the Flow House, after the steps up the lava wall. I'm used to walking barefooted on lava, but most other people aren't, so I wanted to make the very rough lava path leading to the Flow House more accessible and comfortable.
Once I finished cindering my lava path, I got my machete and headed to the chicken pen to walk the whole perimeter of the fence to see how wild pigs are still getting inside. Much to my chagrin, not only did I run into three large pigs with a few younger ones inside the fence, but I also found four new holes in the fence where pigs had pushed their way through. Did I mention that pigs are really strong? I didn't have the motivation to fix the holes today, as I wanted to go work in the garden.
After my adventure in the chicken pen, I went to check my nursery, and put upright various plants that pigs had knocked over, and repot a couple that they had dumped out of their pots. When I finished that, I went to work in the fenced garden next to Kana's place for a while, clearing and weeding. It's feeling pretty satisfying getting this garden back to a good functional place, and making it look a lot better too.
After working in the garden, I put my tools away, took a shower, then strained out a batch of kefir, inoculated another round of raw whole cow milk, blended up some kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao and put it in the fridge to chill, then made some food. When the food was done, I returned to the Flow House to eat it as I dove back into catching up on my Hive tasks, and babysitting my computer as it went through its update process.
As I sit here typing this, my first hard drive with Arch Linux has finished updating itself. Now I still have it get it bootable again. With that in mind, I'm going to end this post now to go attend to that, and to do one more round of Hive catch up before bed. I appreciate you all so much! Until tomorrow! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

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! 😁🙏💚
