Nature shows us that patience is a powerful force that enables growth and change. Every lesson in life is a seed that takes root in the soil of our experiences. With patience and perseverance, it grows into a tree of wisdom whose leaves tell the stories of our greatest learning moments.

Just being completely in the moment. How healing it is to simply be still. Doing nothing. Achieving nothing, and having to explain nothing. I'm just sitting here... by the sea. I'm looking at the water, letting the waves beat against my heart, while the wind blows through my thoughts like tall grass

🌱 New Buddha Belly Bamboo shoots pushing through pāhoehoe lava. Even in scarce water, their bellies swell with life — proof that struggle can shape beauty. Grateful for resilience + new beginnings. What’s sprouting fresh in your life?

🌺 Do I have a Sunrise 🌅 or Sunset 🌇 papaya?

Our tree is loaded with long, red-fleshed fruit that's super sweet and fragrant. At first I thought it was strawberry papaya—but now I’m not so sure! Help me: HanaLokahi.com/blog

More from Waikamoi: Here's an 'i'iwi sipping from an 'ohia flower. Some of the 'ohia trees in Waikamoi preserve were already old when humans first arrived in the Hawaiian Islands. 🌿📷🦉

#Regenerative #agroforestry on the big island of Hawaii. I think this is one of our best tools - Reducing dependence on imported foods, capturing carbon and growing soil, and just being a pretty good vibe all around

#kalo #ulu #mamaki #maia and support species all inside this trial patch

🌿 Mamaki Growing-Up! 🌿

From a little keiki in mid-March to a thriving beauty today — check out the transformation of my mamaki tree!

I’ve been so impressed with how quickly it’s taken off. It's grown a ton in just over 2 months!

The Future Is in Your Hands

🌱 The future of food isn’t in the hands of corporations—it’s in yours. Every time you plant a seed, you’re voting for a world where food is fresh, local, and grown with care.

🌿 Let’s grow a future we can be proud of.
