Goooood Morning, SuperForest!
Okay, so you’re me, and for the last year you’ve been working hard building this cool project and then, suddenly, it ends, boom. And so you mope around for a few months and stop posting on your blog and stop answering emails and question your worth and feel a bit crappy, and all the while this little voice in the back of your head is whispering… Don’t worry… take it easy… be gentle with yourself… you’re doing perfectly… just stay in Aloha…
And so you do. You tell yourself to stop doing and just breathe. Trust that the universe will provide not only the answers but the means to set them in motion.
And then there is this insane series of coincidences and connections that is so stunningly bewildering and amazing and answers everything, and the universe opens up and gives you everything you need and more, and it does it all for you with zero effort on your part.
SuperForesters, that is what has happened to me this day.
To sum up, today a man offered Melissa and myself stewardship of a ten acre working permaculture farm not ten minutes away from Zero One. It is called One Love Gardens. So, we are shifting the focus of our work here on Kauai to phase two: Zero One Love Gardens.
Zero One Love Gardens will be just like Zero One. There are massive gardens already in place and many more to come. We will move our flock of chickens over, and get some sheep to mow the land. There is a stream that runs around the property for swimming in and doing sweat lodges. It is a miracle. Imagine working hard to build something, sort of achieving it, losing it, and then being handed something five times bigger and already bursting with food. And it took zero effort. Zero. We were just the right people in the right place at the right time. Thank you, universe.
Now that we have five times the space, I am happy to report that the SuperForest Summit is back on. Here, Kauai, the last week of August. Any and all are invited. Let’s discuss. I’m very excited to attend the SuperForest Summit at Zero One Oklahoma as well. There is room for much getting together in the SuperForest. Come to Kauai and play. Let us show you how this permaculture thing works. It’s great fun, and makes for shinier happier people.
In order to bring this all about, and gain access to this land, which we were given with gladness and gratitude, all Melissa and I had to do was stay in Aloha, and think with our hearts. We also asked the universe out loud to please help us find a new place to live, where we could continue our work. And it happened!
I invite you all to take on this practice: Aloha means “with the breath.” Consider adding to your walking meditation the small act of exhaling all of your air from your lungs with each breath. I’ve noticed that I tend to retain some air at the bottom of my exhale. Making sure to clear this old air out has helped me a great deal staying in Aloha. I know it sounds silly and trifling, but this little hack helps with breath control, and breath control is key to managing reactions.
Love and Aloha from Zero One.
