Freshly harvested café cherries from Grace☕️
Grace: I have been waiting for you.
Us: Sorry we’re late.
We visit Grace and see the profundity in progress🌎⛏️ –
One house for the indigenous peoples
Caring for this tierra is cleaned up via
Power washing, sweeping, painting, concrete pouring
Galore;
An area is cleared for the “keiki” café plants
Which will be meticulously tended
By the head of the Knöbe clan, Mathias;
Limes and tangerines harvested and sold;
Café being harvested and dried
At Arturo’s home while the
Coffee drying house is in the making
With land cleared,
Deep, square holes dug for foundation posts,
Sand and rock delivered for poured concrete footings.
ALL of this manifesting with Ease upon Grace🙏
We are in the midst of experiencing
The power of synergistic co-creation
Stemming forth from
Alignment,
Alignment beyond our imaginings.
Here we come from creating an organic farm on Maui,
Andrew workin’ long hours day in and day out
In order to maintain the ‘āina (land) and hales (homes)
Coming to the point of recognizing
It is no longer his to do.
We endeavored to align with others who would
Co-create with us on that land,
To no avail.
Here we stand now,
In utter Awe
At the unfolding,
The unfolding majesty of it all💫
Today,
Arturo leads Andrew and me and the two head Knöbe,
Mathias and his eldest son, Rolando,
In a conversation ‘round living together as One
Upon Grace’s shores.
This is a commingling of native peoples of Panamá,
Transplants from Venezuela (Arturo and family)
And us, Norte Americanos,
A mix of humanity coming together
To gather and co-create as a synergistic unit
Of One⊚ness.
With Arturo’s keen leadership skills,
We five discuss the “guidelines”
For living together upon Grace’s shores.
Arturo uses clear languaging,
Humor & Love
To convey.
There is no thing for Andrew and me to do
As we Let Go into his very capable hands.
And with that letting go
Into Arturo’s very capable management
Of all things café upon Grace,
Andrew has the spaciousness and energetic focus
To devote his skill and creative prowess to
Connect with Grace and learn where
The first BnB and the first home
Will be built,
Where the access to these dwellings will be laid,
In addition to learning all things construction in Panamá.
It is with great Joy in my heart
To observe the Magik,
The Magik of synergy,
In which the whole is greater
Than the sum of the individual parts.
We recognize the imperativeness of alignment.
And with this recognition,
We make the choice to only co-create
With those whom we feel resonant.
Such great learning we created
While living in our small Makana ‘Āina Community
On Maui –
So many gifts offered and received,
All being fully utilized as we embrace
Community upon the shores of Grace✨
