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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

You know those days where things don't go according to plan? Yeah, today is one or those days. I have a session scheduled today at 1:30PM, and I have a fair bit to get done before the woman with whom I'll be working arrives, one of which is milking the cow. Cows are animals that like set schedules, and because I'm the only one milking her at the moment, I've had to move her milking time around several times in the past week and a half, to make it fit in with other important things that I need to do. Time is a bugger lately because I'm always juggling so many things, so I don't have too much of a window of time to deal with things when they don't go according to plan.

That's what happened today with milking the cow. When Sol (a woman who's staying here who wants to help me milk, though she's still learning, so not very effective yet) and I arrived at the milking stantion on the edge of the 400 acres, Daisy was nowhere to be found. She was off in the jungle somewhere. Even after calling her for a good 20 minutes, she never appeared. That's very problematic, because I don't have another window of time today to milk, since I'll be giving a session, and there's nobody else who can do it. After calling the cow for a while, we finally left, Sol to go get ready to go cocoing with Ano, and me to return to the Flow House to write this post. I have no idea what's going to happen with milking today, and it's looking like it's not going to get done, unfortunately. That's what happens when there is no redundancy in a system.

After I get this post written and published, and my other important Hive tasks done, I need to focus on the upcoming session, which will likely go until dark, so no time afterward for community tasks. I also have a session booked for tomorrow, so my schedule will be pretty much the same as today. I'm praying for a cooperative cow so that what happened today doesn't happen again.

Most of the women with whom I work in sessions are those that I already know, and who know, and trust me. Trust being the foundation of what I do means that when I'm working with someone new, as I'll be doing soon again, trust must still be build to do any kind of deeper healing work.

Over the past few months it's seemed like I've had more and more tasks to fit in the same amounts of time, which is challenging to say the least, and also a bit stressful. I mean I'm efficient and all, but damn! And the fact that in all this busyness I'm not even finding time to work with plants and gardens, is doubly frustrating. Even on Hive I have more to do, especially now being part of the core leadership of the We Are Alive Tribe that is working to reconfigure and reboot the community. Boy oh boy do I appreciate those days, seemingly in distant memory, when I had much more time and spaciousness as I went about my day. All I can do is do my best. I hope it's enough.

Yesterday, Thursday, I left the Flow House around 1PM, after wrapping up my Hive tasks, heading first to Tutu's to make Iolanthe some food, and then to show Sol how to milk for the first time, which went pretty well. After milking was done, I took a short break up at the Flow House, then I went to chop and dump old and used coconuts at the upper coco bar. With that done, I collected a wheelbarrow full of Melochia leaves for cow-milking food, with Ano's help, then I helped him to carry the Melochia pole from the tree that he just cut down (and from which I harvested the leaves for cow food) to his studio. The last task of the day was to cut up branches and lay them under a coconut palm, from an ice cream bean tree that Ano was trying to remove. Once I had that done, I took a shower, collected my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, and made my way 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 by around 9:30PM, then I wrote and published My Entry for Shadow Hunters Community Contest/Show Me a Shadow: Round 353 - Sword Fern Shadows, did a quick round of token management, then I went to bed just before 11:15PM. I did sleep well, thankfully, waking up around 7:30AM, doing a round of token management, starting on this post, then getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee, to strain and blend kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao), and to milk the cow with Sol, that didn't happen. It's now just after 11:45PM, so a very good time to end this post, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, and then prepare the Flow House for the session tomorrow. If I have time, I'll also go check on Daisy, and I may try to milk her if she's there. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's iteration of this post! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

2024 Life Goals

1.) Heal my broken heart, reignite my heart sun, and embody a solid, healthy masculine, allowing my electric fire to shine bright, no matter what others, especially women, say or do. 

2.) Bring myself and my life back into balance, integration, and wholeness. 

3.) Do regular (naked) integral practices again, alone or with others. 

4.) Dance regularly again.

5.) Work with natural entheogens (mushrooms, ganja, ayahuasca), with punctuated regularity, as a part of my healing process again. 

 6.) Get, and keep, regular deep, integral energy-body-tantric work healing sessions for women flowing again.

7.) Prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again. 

8.) Make my plant nursery beautiful again.

9.) Live as an integral part of a juicy heart-resonant soul tribe community, with deep, coherent mutual and shared passion, purpose, mission, love, warmth, care, sweetness, reverence, respect, aliveness, admiration, excitement, enjoyment, playfulness, work, fun, laughter, attraction, and all-level connections and relationships. 

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.
