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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
I've said innumerable times in my posts, comments, and replies that I love and believe in Hive, and that I'm all in for the long haul here, and I mean that sincerely, unequivocally, and without doubt. Hive is a personal business to me (it's so much more than that, too, of course), and because of that I invest my time, energy, focus, and efforts here every single day. Hive as a personal business is a pretty solid analogy. We have investments, ROI, profits, 'customer service' (engagement), our offerings/products/services (us and our posts), and even daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly goals. Hive is an entrepreneur's dream come true!
The cool thing is that our Hive business is directly connected with that of everyone else here, and to the entire blockchain ecosystem economy, so what benefits one benefits all, and visa-versa. We are wonderfully interwoven and intertwined in mutual, reciprocal, and win-win relationships with each other here. That's pretty nifty, don't ya think?
What is the unique magic and irreplaceable gift that we can give to our blockchain brothers and sisters? Hive provides the framework for us to discover that, refine it, and then offer it in humble and grateful contribution to the whole chain, and be rewarded for it, often handsomely.
Here our authenticity is appreciated and our realness is rewarded. No masks or subterfuge. Just being a good, honest human, and we will do well. It's pretty simple, and we will have astounding support from those who share this Blockchain with us. Everything is naked on the chain anyway, so covert acts are visible, plain as day, for all to see.
Hive is an open creative playground where anyone, anywhere, can create and initiate almost anything, with the proper awareness, understanding, and skill. And these can be learned and developed. Each and every one of us can contribute to building what Hive is, and what it could become. If that isn't exciting, I don't know what is!
Before I wander off to dreamland, I want to share some of the things that I did today out here in the jungle. I attended most of our morning community NVC meeting, played with kittens with (Io)lanthe and Aloha (10 and 9), and then I allowed Io to put makeup on me. After hanging out with the girls and the kittens, I returned to the Flow a house to continue with my Hive tasks. Hive got a lot of focus today, with catch-up and tasks going clear to the late afternoon, interspersed with solving a couple technical issues in Arch Linux. I finally left the Flow House around 3PM, after having mostly (though not entirely) caught up.
I dumped several wheelbarrows of mixed-wood mulch on both sides of the throughway between Tutu's (the main community building) and Kana's house, the fenced garden, and the nurseries (Ano's and mine). The mulch is to in preparation to plant out many of the multitudinous Coleus variations that I have in my nursery, and that desperately need to get in the ground. After finishing with that, I walked around the property in the afternoon sunlight, taking photos for another plant-and-garden post, and for this one.
I also gave Ano a little bodywork, at his request, just before sunset. When I was done with that I helped Braja (Ano's mother) take cat food back to the Landing, and then I fed the four kitties. Once the kitties were fed, I made food for me, and returned to the Flow House to continue with my Hive tasks, and finally to write this post.
I've been doing one post per day again, here and there, going with the flow of creativity and inspiration. It still feels weird after doing two posts per day for many months. I'm in the process of finding a new rhythm and balance, so I'm experimenting with how and when I do posts again.
And with that I shall end this post for the night! My warm, cozy bed beckons me! I deeply appreciate you all! Until tomorrow! Onward and upward, joyfully together! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
All photos were taken with my Motorola G Power 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! 😁🙏💚
