I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1325 - Yesterday Threw Me for a Loop, but I'm Rolling and Flowing with It! - Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Saturday, March 14, 2026

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

If you happened to see my previous post, you know that yesterday was an over-the-top, extremely challenging day for us here in this off-grid jungle community, due to dealing with the effects of two days of very intense rain and winds, which made the Flow House (and a few other structures) basically uninhabitable. I was running around pretty much all day, as I adapted, improvised, and overcame my way through a whole host of obstacles that arose simultaneously, seemingly on all sides.

In the end, I found a way, of course. I ended up doing my online computer work (Hive included), and sleeping, in the Kasbah, which very thankfully worked quite well. I still have to get back up to the Flow House, to begin cleaning up, and to (hopefully) repair the damage done by the gale-force winds. I don't yet know if, or when, the Flow House will be suitable to live and work in again, but it's something that I have to figure out quite quickly.

Aside from being my personal space where I sleep, keep my laptop online running my Qortal node, do my online work (Hive included), and give sessions, the Flow House has been one of my main centers of activity for over 3.5 years now, in a very similar way to how the Landing has, until very recently, been my main center of focus for keeping and preparing food and my assorted healing elixirs for the past 7.5 years. So within a period of about a month, I've experienced huge shifts regarding my comfortable and usual places on the property where I spend the majority of my time. Thankfully, Melekai offered me her place, the Kuti, to give sessions while she's away for 10 days on her trip, so that's one challenge momentarily surmounted.

These huge and rapid changes to my living and working spaces certainly seems to coincide with the feeling that I'm getting of a quickly-accelerating and world-changing shift spreading through humanity at this time. Yes, the initial stage of this, where the present system collapses, and everyone's illusions are permanently shattered, id going to be a bit bumpy and rocky, but once past that, a whole new indescribably beautiful and mind-blowing world, and humanity, will be born, and in a seeming flash. That time draws quite close indeed.

How this will play out regarding me living at GaiaYoga, I have no idea yet, but I am getting that peculiar feeling as of late that the ground is moving beneath my feet, with new possibilities shimmering on the edge of my awareness, which always precedes a major leap or jump to somewhere, or some way, else. I'm very curious how the rest of March, and 2026, unfold.

Yesterday, Saturday, as I mentioned in my previous post, was an extraordinarily intense and challenging day, and by the end of it I was beyond exhausted, but I still had enough energy thankfully to make myself some food (a grilled cheese, on olive-oil-toasted sourdough, smoked salmon, pepperjack cheese, smoked hot sauce, and Dijon mustard), and to finish all my evening Hive tasks. I got everything done by around 9PM, and after some asset management, and perusing Qortal and X, I went to bed by around 11:30PM. I woke up about 6:30AM, having super-thankfully slept well, doing more asset management, going to the new kitchen to prepare my superfood fire coffee, and then heading back to the Kasbah to write this post. It's now just after 1:45PM, so it's a marvelous time to wrap this up, so that I may attend to my numerous Sunday Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, before leaving the Kasbah a little later in the afternoon, to focus first and foremost on some photography for my posts, and then on a few jungle-community/land tasks. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until the next version of these posts tomorrow! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

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.

All photos were taken with my Motorola G Play 2024 Android Phone.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
