Mele Nahiku

As you can see, we have a hard time keeping up with all the changes happening here at Mele Nahiku. Our time at the computer is minimal, since we are more often inspired to be outside! Life is always on the move…Changes happen so rapidly around here. The garden is planted, then grows, then fruits, then dies…then we plant again. The weeds grow and grow and grow! The goats give birth, get sick, give love and milk, and come and go. The chickens molt, and rest, then give eggs again with their abundant announcing. People come, and live and give and love, then move on to their next place they are meant to be.

We stay here and watch these changes…Me, my husband and two children. We are sitting in the center of it all, watching everything spinning around us. And most often, we jump in and run with it all. Right now, in this moment, I am at a place of sitting still. Slowing down. Letting life and all it’s beauty come to me. It’s hard on the farm, in the jungle, to sit and just be. But I am learning to love it, and realize it’s the most important thing we can do. Just let go, and rest. Trust that life will continue, and be abundant and amazing.

We are seeing the struggle of living in community. It’s a beautiful thing with a tough edge. We see the reality and want the connection with others, yet realize how difficult it really is to live so intimately with other human beings. We are at a place of introspection, of settling into our own relationships, here, as a family unit. We still continue our outreach, since the passion is one of telling others that there is a different, more simple, more sustainable and gentle way to live. So hopefully that is what this will be…A telling of one family’s story that is trying to live a genuine, natural, loving life. Keep reading…There will be more to come…Each moment is new.
