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 write often about my passion for this truly exceptional Blockchain, and I know many here who feel very similar to me. There are many more here that I don't think fully grok yet the true significance and potential of what we have here.
Hive is not just another of the innumerable blockchain projects that exist. We are the only 100% community-owned, created, developed, governed, and run open-source, decentralized global blockchain in the world! That means that Hive can't be sent a summons or sued, and it can't be shut down or stopped by any government or corporation. It takes the power of money out of the hands of governments and banks, and puts it squarely back in the hands of the people, while at the same time putting everyone in the world who's on Hive on the same economic footing, regardless of their local economic situations. That is massive!
I know I've expressed all of these things so many times in different ways, but given that this is so ridiculously important, I'm saying it again, and I'll probably keep saying it! Hive has the very real potential of completely circumventing and subplanting the present global slave economic system with one that is by the people and for the people.
Crypto 'regulations' will have zero effect if people em mass simply ignore them (governments have zero right to be passing and enforcing such nonsense anyway). They are beginning to appear in law books worldwide exactly because, as I've said before, a (global) slave system cannot allow people to control their own money, for if they did, they could not be controlled. Period.
Can you see why Hive ignites my passion so strongly? What you and I do here dear Hivers can completely shift the balance of power in the world. Keep building, growing, interconnecting, learning, teaching, and sharing here, as that strengthens our ecosystem immensely. Hive has a profound mission, and it's up to each and every one of us, as owners of Hive (because that's what we are), to educate ourselves on it fully, and when the time is right, educate and teach others who are open. I'm well aware of how challenging it is to successfully onboard people to Hive, but challenging does not mean impossible, and when people see your passion for it, especially over time, they become curious, and begin to ask questions. That is an ideal time to slowly and gently introduce them to the power and potential of this blockchain. Just being here, doing what we do, we are changing the world for the better.
Today in the jungle I had a rather productive and enjoyable day. The weather was sunny and warm again, with a gentle breeze. I poured out the first round of my medicinal tea blend in the morning, before I made my superfood fire coffee, that I collected yesterday, and then put another round of hot water in the jars to steep for a second time. After making my superfood fire coffee, I returned to the Flow House to continue with my Hive catch-up and tasks that I had begun earlier while still in bed.
I wasn't able to get through all my Hive catch-up before I had to leave the Flow House, because I wanted to pour out the second round of medicinal tea, and add the last round of hot water, before I was supposed to meet up with Shakira to go work in the nurseries (Ano's and mine). She ended up coming into the Landing as I was finishing up with pouring out my tea. She had just changed her mobile service to one that someone who lives here uses, but sadly she was not able to make or receive calls at all, so she asked if she could use my phone to call their customer service to see if the issue could be resolved. I was still catching up on Hive when she asked, but I agreed, so Hive had to wait until later. She was on the phone with tech support for that phone network for over an hour, and in the end decided to go back to her previous service, which she also needed my phone to do. I don't know why I didn't think to just go back to the Flow House to continue with my catch-up on my laptop. In any case, while I was waiting for her, I got my electric hair clippers from the Flow House and and went to the shower house to buzz my head and face. Shakira was done shortly after that, so we headed down to the nurseries to do some split work between Ano's nursery and mine.
Before we started working, we took a look at various vegetables that had been up-potted a few weeks ago. Several were looking about ready to plant in the fenced garden. Brian was there, and we ended up talking with him for a short bit about the plants. We decided to do some up-potting work in Ano's nursery first. We up-potted a bunch of chakruna (the DMT source for the Ayahuasca blend), from one to two gallon pots, that I had propagated a few years ago. When we had those done and put back in the nursery, we moved on to do some work in my nursery.
In my nursery we up-potted a good number of saplings (that I had grown from seed) of the white-fruited form of mountain/water apple, white sapote, and mamae apple, and one stray Jamaican lilikoi/passionfruit that had a very broken pot. We finished just as it was beginning to get dark.
Once we finished working in the nurseries, I took a hot shower, then headed to the Landing to pour out the last round of my medicinal tea, and then pour all jars from all three rounds into one of my giant tea pots, to thoroughly mix, and then pour it back into the half-gallon jars using a laddle and pitcher. Shakira popped up (again) just as I was finishing putting the mixed tea back in the jars. I gave her a jar of tea, as she had a bit of staph on her knee, and my tea blends are usually quite good at stopping it.
As soon as I finished with the tea, I poured out another batch of kefir that I used to make my kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao blend. Shakira wanted to watch to see how I did it. I also ended up giving her some kefir grains to start a new culture. We were talking about my idea to switch some kefir over to coconut water or milk, and it just so happened that 
Once the kefir was done, I made food in the Landing, then headed back to the Flow House (much later than usual) to finish my Hive catch-up, and then to finally begin writing this post. Because I started so late, as I type this it's now just about 2AM.
With the very late hour in mind, I'd say that this is a good time to end this post for the night and go to sleep! I deeply appreciate you all! Until tomorrow! Onward and upward, joyfully together! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
