I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1377 - Prematurely-Published Post, and Hermes Now Has Its Own Knowledge Database - Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Tuesday, May 5, 2026

5 hours ago(edited)

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 7 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Well that was a bugger. I went to open the draft for this post, to begin writing it, but when it wasn't in my drafts, I realized, much to my horror, that I had accidently published it instead of saving it as a draft. Doh! I think that this is the first time that that's ever happened, and I certainly hope that I don't repeat it!

My error was probably due to getting notably less sleep over the past almost 4 weeks, and feeling quite tired and scattered this morning. I need more sleep, that is absolutely essential, but trying to get everything done that I need and want has seriously not been easy lately, especially with my recent deep dives into setting up a locally-run AI-agent framework on my laptop. I need to rebalance very soon, but to that, I need to do less.

I definitely don't feel great today so far, and I have a session scheduled for today, along with needing to finish writing this post beforehand, so the day's certainly got some challenges to navigate. I'll just do the best that I can under the present conditions.

Given that I plan to work with the Hermes (AI) Agent on diverse projects across assorted domains over time, I need to make certain that no important learning, skills, or information is lost. With that in mind, I set up a method of syncing the Hermes folder to my encrypted cloud storage, and to allow the agent to have an ever-growing knowledge base as time progresses, I installed obsidian, so give it access to an easily-accessible database of information and knowlwdge that can be edited and updated as needs.

Because I can easily see the potential of working with Hermes, I'm focusing first on building a solid base, that will make it possible for a great many amazing things to come. My main challenge at the moment is finding balance in working work Hermes, along with all my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, sessions, and the work that I do here at GaiaYoga. It's quite a juggling at as of late. I need to trim down, streamline, simplify my assorted and numerous tasks, and fast.

Daily Log to be added tonight.

2026 Life Goals

1.) Do regular integral practices again, alone or with others.

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

3.) Make my plant nursery, and the gardens, beautiful again.

4.) 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
