A whole new paradigm is being birthed at the @gardenofeden,
and we'll be at Steefest to talk about it!!!
Presently 18 inhabitants thrive on 3.3 acres of land in the belly of the beast, Arlington, Texas, where EVERYTHING we have known is being turned upside down and examined from the inside out. We are making our own game, with our own rules, being honorable and in service to our fellow man. I live in gratitude everyday for being part of this cutting-edge community shining the light on possibility.
Slavery is no longer our desire.
We’re not playing that dishonorable game anymore.
We know there is health, love and light in an honorable life.
We know of this beautiful way.
We are living it for ourselves because not to do so,
would be dishonoring ourselves.
We are living it out loud, so that others can see it is possible.
We can live in harmony with one another.
We can live by the golden rule.
We can help each other.
Share our gifts with each other.
Put our energy into building a better world with each other.
We’re creating a world based on values.
Not on fear, control and manipulation.
A world that honors our children,
With no expectations, just genuine support.
We are living this life together,
having an amazing experience.
It feels good to stand up for our values,
Even against all odds.
It feels good to shine the light on the darkness,
Even when the darkness is dense and it is difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
The time has come for us to questions everything.
It is time to LIVE the change.
Be bold.
Stand up and be heard.
I am also grateful for the opportunity here on Steemit to share insights, evolutionary and revolutionary perspectives, and to be helping set the example of a world based on love.
Thank you STEEMIT for giving us a real voice.
Thanks to all of you who find value in our content, upvote and resteem our posts.
My personal thanks to the @gardenofeden, @quinneaker and @saramiller for being apart of my everyday blessed existence, and for sharing the love so prolifically. The Garden of Eden website.
All photography and art in my posts are my own original work.
The wisdom is even more beautiful than the photography and art!
What a post! If I could up vote it twice I would!
I would take a double up-vote from you any day @quinneaker. Even a single is a beautiful blessing. Thank you for being such a great influence on my awakening and such a grand supporter of my art...and honestly....my entire existence. Love runs deep!!! Thank you for your appreciation. <3
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
<3
I'll have a second helping of that! <3
Wonderfully Written, and you photos are impeccable as always...
Is that matthew wearing suspenders in the "upside down pic"?
Man that was long ago, lol.... I remember those days in @gardenofeden
Like:
Are you talking about the love picture? That is @saramiller, @everlove, @rileychard and @fmatinata. Maybe you're talking about me with the suspenders? There is something in the overlay of pictures that just makes it look like suspenders. OH my, what a glorious day--just semi-recently when Frankie was here!! Good times! Thanks for your comment @piercetheveil.
Oh Haha, yes that sounds correct. So many good times!
May we continue to have more profound ones to come! <3
hahahahahaha thats a good one!
Dear @everlove,
Thank you for the daily inspiration, on Steemit and in real life. You are the healthiest, happiest, strongest, bravest, most supportive/generous/positive/consistent/reliable/responsible/nurturing and creative woman I know, and I am blessed to learn from you every single day. I am so grateful for not only a positive role model, but one that I can play and interact with every single day.
I'm a better person because of your influence. Thank god for Shellie!!!!!!!
💛 Sara!
OH my gosh @saramiller! What a life we share together. Just look at us sitting in the dark across the desk from each other, our faces all aglow with reflections and lights of Steemit!! Hahahah!! What a delight it is to share this existence with you. I pinch myself everyday in confirmation that I am not just living a dream---Oh wait--I am!! Thank god you're in it and that we get to make it up together as we go. I'm delighted you are in my life and that we get to share ecstatic laughter, our feet behind our heads, and a late night chocolate mouthgasms............oh so much we share!!! What a Life! Thank you for being!
What a life, indeed! My heavens...thanks for being as well!!!
You did great. The way you used your narratives to usher in your art is awesome ...also your intro of @gardenofeden is nice but got me thinking of my recent posts about certain people in same garden...as such feel free to check my blog for this recent post and comment your reply...
I love to squeeze my art in with my writings. I aways use my own artwork and photographs in my posts. It can be challenging to find the matches of photos and content at times. I'm used to taking photos of healthy, happy people, and sometimes the narrative calls for something less joyful. It's really great fun to see what kind of unusual combinations of art/photos and text I can share. I appreciate your appreciation @kenhudoy.
a lady worthy of my true appreciation as such expect more from me who may be turning up as a fan of this usual skilled artist... little wonder my new article related to male and female brain power tend to favour the ladies more...as such, i urge you ti find time and read it up for your well informed comment...
Funny post @kenhudoy. Intuition tells me the truth about these matters. And though I believe the scientific conclusion is true, there is much more truth to what science hasn't proven. Your first pic was hilarious!
very on point ma'am
thanks for dropping in and checking my work
glad you liked it...
Grateful you gave me one more reason to laugh today! I appreciate you.
well...tats the trick here... afterall laughter is best natural medicine and keep following to get more laughter series...
When a few like-spirited people come togeather to honor their deepest principles of caring for themselves, their family, their entire family of human kind and the planet ~ And actually LIVE by their principles ~ They set an example of such a joy-filled purposeful life ~ With the possibility that it can BE there for everyone.
Inspirational message and images @everlove. Especially LOVE the last with the butterfly's promise of freedom for humankind. 🐋🙏🐋
Yes it is so @allyinspirit. Together we are incredibly strong, and the love and support are beyond the imagination.
I appreciate your comment and your presence here. I really love taking photos and am grateful I have those who appreciate my expression. I love that last one too --
You never fail to blow me away with you words @everlove :)
A very strong message. Resteemed this. Lots of love <3
Agreed! Love seeing the support of such inspirational material!
So glad to have you on my post @aishwarya. It's really fun to share with people who are questioning life and open to discuss change. Thanks for being here with me.
Happy to be here @everlove ! :)
This reallllly intrigues me, thanks for sharing! I'm going to have to dig through some prior posts here real quick because I'm super curious. But in the meantime, have any more info/pics of this area you inhabit in Arlington? I'd love to see what it looks like. Up-voted and re-steemed :)
Great comment!
I don't understand why you flag my post.
You just deleted your response on the post you left on my blog, why? I don't want to highjack @everlove 's post so if you want discourse go back to my page.
Greetings @intothewild! I often have my camera in hand, and there is so much beauty at the @gardenofeden that I can't NOT take pictures!!! Our website (http://www.intothegardenofeden.com/) will have lots of pics amongst many of the other things we share about our community. Our facebook page also has thousands of photos--mostly taken by me -- https://www.facebook.com/gardenofedenvortex/. It's a treasure chest full of awesomeness. I'm grateful for your presence here!
Awesome post! Keep sharing!
Awe, it's a Tinkerbell Fairy!! Thanks @lulita for the gift.
Pleasure!
Your work and your words are strong , steem family definitely changed a lot with my life and I'm glad they guided you as well
This is a grand opportunity to share some very powerful information with each other. Thanks for sharing up here on my blog @journeyoflife. It's great to see you here.
How wonderful would it be to se a revival of community and family?..I have faith that Love will triumph.
This is awesome.🙏🤗
When one considers the way most are living, it is obvious that kind of a separate life-style is not sustainable. People seem really burdened, over-worked, medicated, under-slept, in debt, the best part of their day is sitting in front of the television, and they get only a few weeks of the entire year to take a vacation and do what they really want to do. When we really begin loving ourselves and engaging our true purpose, our love will flow over to others and the world will change as we know it. Helping each other makes life so much more rich and enjoyable. It's likely that not everyone will desire to live in community, but the love of this family-type unit is real. It's a blessing to be spending my every day with people I really care about and with whom I share a common purpose. I'm with you in the faith...Let's choose love @slipperyslope48!!
that's a nice artwork
Thanks for the acknowledgement @bramy. I really love photography and playing with image combinations. I'm glad you enjoyed them.
@robrigo thanks to resteemed this post. Really appreciated Man.
Thank you @raghwendra for showing up here on my blog. @robrigo thank you too, and for the resteem! I really appreciate sharing with you.
Rite on!
Great reply!!!
Nice! Upvoted
I appreciate that @maruharraca. Grateful I could provide something of value.
All good.
Hermoso pensamiento @everlove .
I appreciate your beautiful comment @katari.
Life off the grid sounds glorious.
Unplugging our minds so our bodies can follow!!! Glorious indeed @therussianmonk. Great screen name BTW!
There are many types of revolutionaries; some fight battles, some fight injustices, some fight the powers-that-be. You are fighting something, too.
And some of us just simply incite change! I, on many many fronts. Thanks for your comment @therussianmonk.
So true. Not participating in the system is, in itself, a revolutionary act.
It takes a lot to stand up to that--we have had first hand opportunity to engage those realities. Life never stands still at the @gardenofeden. Life on the cutting edge is quite a potent reality. Thanks for your comment @therussianmonk.
I am looking forward to meeting you at @SteemFest in Lisbon in four months and learning more about your way of life in the Garden of Eden!
I feel certain that when I see you I will be delighted to share with you about life at the @gardenofeden. Life here is truly a blessing and it would be a shame to keep it all for myself. Thanks for your comment @oleg326756. I will see you in four short months!
