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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

What truly is beauty?

Beauty affects and touches me so deeply, straight to my core, because it awakens and vitalizes every part of my being, in exquisite harmonic resonance, reminding me of who I am. Whether it is experienced from the gastronomic joy of gloriously-made foods and drinks, a sound or song that tickles the body, an exceptionally elegant idea, the sight of someone or something that takes takes away breath, the joy of intimate connection, ability and skill done with mastery, and yes, even the awakening to who and what we truly are. Beauty is harmony, balance, vitality, symmetry, radiance, elegance, and wholeness, expressed in myriad ways, and across all domains.

Beauty is something that has, in one way or other, oriented my life in profound ways. It is what I most desire to create around me, and what I most desire to be. Paradoxically (or not), I experience my greatest joy in relation to it, and also my deepest agony. It is of immense importance to me, in all things, needless to say.

Even here on Hive I try to create as much beauty as I can, through doing my best to assist and help people, and always working to generate Maximum Mutual Benefit (MMB) in everything that I do on the Blockchain. That is very meaningful to me. I want happy Hivers/Hivians.

At first I had a bit of resistance to writing this, but I'm glad that I did, as it shed more light, and made more connections, for me as to why beauty has always been of such paramount importance to me. Beauty is powerful!

After I left the Monday Leadership Council meeting yesterday I finished up a few small things on Hive, before leaving the Flow House around 2PM to first strain out kefir for my kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao blend. Once I had that done, I worked with Sapir in Ano's nursery for a while, and then I gave her a tour of the fenced garden, introducing her to the plants, and showing her what not to weed when she comes to work in the garden beds.

After working, I took a shower, then I returned to the Flow House to relax before the 6:30PM Logistics meeting. After the meeting ended, I made my way back to the Flow House, to finally get to my evening Hive tasks and catching up on notifications, which because I started later due to the meeting, and because I had so many notifications, I wasn't able to get fully caught up, only getting to within 7 hours. After some token management and scanning my X feed, I went to bed just after 12:30AM. When I woke up at almost 9AM (yipes that's late!), I did a quick round of token management, I stared on this post, and then I got out of bed around 9:30AM to go make my superfood fire coffee.

It's just after 12:15PM, so an excellent time to end this post, so that I can finish a few important Hive tasks, before preparing for Harmony's session at 1PM. I deepiy appreciate you all so very much! Until tomorrow! Forward, onward, and upward, joyfully together! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

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.
