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.

Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Well, my planned Monday Hive flow got notably detailed this morning, even though it all began well, when I learned that the PWR project was coming to an end, Sunsetting PWR. This hits hard, because not only is our Blockchain Ecosystem further eroding with the loss of another great project, but the SWAP.HIVE:PWR pool was also one of my primary sources of daily SWAP.HIVE income, both on my account, and for the We Are Alive Tribe, so yet another important income source has disappeared.

In his post, @ferranlogs said to send PWR to his account, to be compensated in USDC or SWAP.USDC, which I did on my own account, and on so far two 'We Are Alive Tribe' accounts, after removing it all from the pool. I have no idea yet how I'm going to compensate for such a substantial loss in SWAP.HIVE income, however.

I've begun to swap the 670+ SWAP.HIVE, that was sitting in my wallet after removing it from the pool, a little at a time, into various useful tokens, to then add into their respective pools. I have to do it rather slowly because many Hive-Engine diesel/liquidity pools don't have all that much liquidity, which means that the price impact for larger swaps would be higher.

Although I'm going to strongly boost my position in several pools, out of necessity I need to focus on those that provide the highest daily SWAP.HIVE payouts. Sadly I don't think that will even come close to replacing the SWAP.HIVE income that was lost, but it's a start. Given that the SWAP.HIVE:PWR pool was so important in terms of my daily SWAP.HIVE investment liquidity on my own account, much to my intense chagrin, I've also had to pause my daily imgestments of 1 SWAP.HIVE into the We Are Alive Tribe, until I'm able to rebuild it to a usuable level once again. With the current options and conditions, that may take a while.

It would seem that my second-best source for a daily SWAP.HIVE income, HP leases, has now become my best source, which means that I'm going to need a whole lot more HP to lease to be able to generate sufficient SWAP.HIVE daily to get back to my previous level. That's more than a little frustrating and annoying, and also very disheartening, but as always, I adapt, improvise, and overcome.

Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my numerous important Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by a little after 3:30PM, giving my attention to some photography for my posts first, and then to a few small jungle-community tasks, after which I headed to Wabisabi to make myself some food (a spiced-and-seasoned beef burger, on olive-oil-toasted sourdough, with pepperjack cheese, hot sauce, and spicy brown mustard), and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hands, I returned to the Flow House, to do a bit more dinit troubleshooting on my laptop, and finally to begin my evening Hive tasks. I got everything done by just before 10:15PM, and after some asset management, and more research into my issue with the dinit init system, I went to bed by a bit after 12:30AM. I woke just after 8AM, still feeling that I needed more sleep, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, then heading back to the Flow House to prepare to write my 202nd Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update, which as I just explained, had a wrench thrown in it, making it necessary to postpone until later this evening, or tomorrow. I started on this post quite late, after 12PM, and it's just before 1:30PM now, so it's a great time to wrap this up, so that I may attend to my few other important Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to focus first on some photography for my posts, and then on some jungle-community/land work and tasks. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my goals-and-progress update later tonight or tomorrow morning, and the next iteration 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
