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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
Hive provides immense and diverse benefits to those who choose to participate in its many community-driven endeavors and activities. Hive encompasses and excels in many domains, and one notable one is as an arena for learning and growth. The Hive School is open 24/7/365, and offers courses and classes in a dazzling array of subjects.
Anybody that spends some consistent time here will realize quickly that the opportunities for learning, growing, and going outside of our comfort zones are everywhere available. Just bringing ourselves up to speed with how Hive works is a whole course in itself! We learn and grow just by being here, connecting and talking with people, experimenting and trying new things, and deciding what we want and working for it.
Yes, we get a great immersion in the marvels of efficient blockchain technology, but far more important than that is how Hive serves as a fantastic catalyst for us to learn important things like commitment, dedication, patience, tenacity, and consistency, all of which are necessary qualities to succeed on Hive. Many of us learn to set and work toward goals for the first time here on Hive. Hive impels us to stretch and push ourselves, to grow and become more than we thought we could.
While this learning mechanism is an inherent aspect of how Hive functions, the greatest learning and growth comes from the mixing, interaction, and engagement between the amazingly diverse and different people that make up Hive, with widely varying perspectives, experiences, skills, abilities, and capacities, from all over the world. People who would normally not connect and interact do so regularly here on Hive, and we are all the richer because of it.
Like the day before, yesterday I was thankfully also able to stay caught up on Hive all day. I left the Flow House, after my Hive rounds and superfood fire coffee, just about 2:30PM, to go do some land work. Before I started, however, I collected food supplies that Kana had picked up for me during the town run, and brought them back to the Landing. I was also waiting a bit for the sun's intensity to wane before beginning to work.
The main task that I did was to mostly finish clearing cane grass with my machete in the new orchard between Tutu's and Kana's place. There's still a little left to do on the edges, but the majority is done. For now at least, as cake grass grows very quickly indeed!
After machete work, I took a shower and made myself food in the Landing, then I returned to the Flow House to do another round of Hive catch-up. That went quite fast, and I basically had everything Hive-related done before sunset, which was a new experience. The timing was good, as I actually felt quite sleepy by that point, so I finished eating and then went to sleep super-early, by about 8PM. I slept well until about 5:30AM, at which point I started my morning Hive rounds, and to write this post.
It's now almost 8AM, and I'm still in bed as I write this, so I'll end this post now to go start my jungle day. I want to go make my superfood fire coffee before the community NVC meeting at 9AM. It's a rainy morning so far, but hopefully it will clear up for garden work later. I deeply appreciate you all! Until tonight or tomorrow morning! Onward and upward, 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! 😁🙏💚
