Being True: are you?
Posted by Robin Easton
Dear Friends, I’ve done a lot of soul searching this week and am making changes in my life. I am headed into crunch time with my book and will also be returning to public speaking and article writing. These last six months I’ve spent twelve or more hours a day at the computer almost seven days a week just to get my work done, as well as comme
nt on my favorite blogs. I can no longer keep up the pace. My eyes have suffered and my brain feels fried. I’m not used to so much computer time. Nor is it a way of life for me. I don’t even watch or own a TV.
I’ll continue to post each week on my blog and look forward to doing so. I’ll also have fun contests so watch for those. The only thing that will change is that I won’t be able to comment on my favorite blogs every week or two, but will still visit when I can and will respond to comments on my blog as much as possible. For those of you on Blogcatalog.com, Stumbleupon.com, Facebook.com and iPeace.com, you will still see me there. Don’t hesitate to send me your blogs posts or shouts through these networks. I’ll also be in and out of discussions and groups.
I’ve been thinking of ways to cut down my computer time and thought about leaving shorter comments. This has been hard for me as your blogs are birthed from hearts and souls that shine.
One of my strengths is connecting with people. I genuinely love them and see astonishing greatness in people. To simply write, “wonderful post, loved your thoughts”, just never clicked with me. Nonetheless, maybe shorter comments might work. I’ll play it by ear. Either way, I must slow down and live my love affair with the wild world and the world within me. They are one and the same. I cannot go through life muddled and at a senseless pace, lost to all that I feel and know as truth, all that I AM.
This spring I’ve taken to hiking miles across the quiet desert, the early morning air broken only by the rustle of grass, bluebirds and ravens. I’m not just training for long treks, but each step reaffirms my love affair with myself, Life and the world I desperately love. Each hike I increase the weight in my pack and increase the weighty knowing in my soul. Soon I’ll discard my thin moccasins and walk barefoot upon Ancient Earth. In heart and soul I am a free spirit, a wild creature that could easily walk away from the computer without a backward glance. It is merely a tool for me, one that appears necessary for today’s writers. Daily I ask the Universe to show me other ways, to show me my most true path. Whatever that is, I am open.
I hope you’ll stop in when you can. I’ve so enjoyed feeling your hearts laid bare here. I’ll be following your beautiful spirits and wise insights, which you so earnestly express on your blogs. You have moved me to tears, laughter, warmth, love, and greatness, and will continue to do so. Time and distance have no meaning; we were and always are connected.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wish you all the love in the Universe,
Robin

Follow your Bliss, my soul-sister-friend, wherever that leads you. As long as I can feel our sweet Mama Earth’s heartbeat beneath my feet, I know I am connected to you. No need for cyberspace chatter. Play your flute in the canyon. I’ll play mine in the woods. And our soul’s shall dance together.
Only Love.
xoxo!
Robin replies
Dear EarthMother, Your words are so sweet to my heart. Yes we are soul-sister friends; this I know. Thank you for your open-hearted-encouragement. It touched me deeply. Yes, we are connected in so many ways, as you say, through the Earth’s heartbeat. And yes, my beautiful friend, only love. I will be listening for your song. I’ve already heard it so many times.

Dear Robin, feeling obligated to do things is one of the worst things ever and becomes a burden. I smiled when I read your post, I have walked away from BC, SU, EC and all the other places that were truly becoming time consuming and from which I was getting little gain about a month ago. In fact at times many of them were becoming an aggravation and I don’t miss them at all.
I now have a couple of forums that I really enjoy and spend just a small amount of time on them “for fun”. One of them is a wildlife forum! I endeavour to keep in touch with a few of my blog friends either by emails or comments , I answer my comments if I have time but don’t feel guilty if it takes me a while….
I stopped promoting my blog and started to enjoy it.
I have some oracle cards that I did for the first time in ages about a month ago and they told me to spend some time with nature.
When I leave work at night I am trying at least once a week to call in at a nature reserve on the way home. It fills me with the most incredible inner peace…my soul needs it after being cooped up all day!.
I hope you find your peace again….and you know, I don’t need an answer. Instead talk silently to your wildlife, I will see you there! Hugs XXX
Robin replies
Dear Chrissy, It really is astounding how when we follow our hearts life just seems to flow again. I The moment I made the decision I felt happy and free again; I felt like Robin again. Fortunately, it is not hard for me to let go, and I am not addicted to the computer as some of my friends have told me they struggle with that. My heart goes out to them. It was very heartening to hear about your changes. I find them inspiring. They foster Life and encourage others to listen to their hearts. —-I also think it’s simply touching and wonderful that you stop at the nature reserve once a week. It’s great that it’s right on your way home. —And yes, I see YOU every time I walk the Deer Keepe’rs trail. And hugs and XOX back to you, Chrissy. Thank you.

Oh, if it wasn’t for the internet I never would have connected with such a wonderful soul as your’s Robin. I didn’t know you were on fb, iPeace and su. Will be seeing you on them soon. You are a breath of fresh air on this pc, which does sometimes come up dry.
Robin replies
Dear Michael, Thank you so much for these very kind words. I like being compared to fresh air,
because it’s how I feel when I live who I really am. I feel like the wild fresh air that is so hard to find these days. It’s becoming as extinct as our wildlife. So you do me a great honor my friend. You also have brightened up this place for me…and others.

It’s always good to get back to basics. I share your struggle with the computer and there are nights where I will force myself to keep the laptop in the bag just to prove I don’t need to use it. The world does keep on going if I don’t login.
Keep up with the hikes, enjoying the outdoors and music. These are things that have made you who you are and I’m glad to see that you haven’t lost sight. It’s real easy to lose a day in front of computer screen.
As far as comments on blogs and such, one idea that I have heard from many writers is to allocate a certain amount of time(each day or week) to read/comment on blogs. After that time stop and move on to your next task. Even if it’s 15 minutes or so, you might be surprised on how much you’ll get done and you will still be able to keep contact with your friends and their blogs. Good luck this Spring and I’m sure you know there are a lot of us wishing you nothing but the best.
Larry
Robin replies
Dear Larry, Such a joy to see you hear. I am deeply touched by your words: “Keep up with the hikes, enjoying the outdoors and music. These are things that have made you who you are and I’m glad to see that you haven’t lost sight.” I am very touched by the depth of insight your express here. Yes, they are things that have and continue to make me who I am. They are things that (many years ago) sprang from my willingness to move closer to myself and Life, even when I was afraid. And now, they are just who I am. To not live who we are is like a death, at least for me. I know you understand as you also are very gifted with many of the same things. To take away your music would be like taking away your soul. —-I also was VERY pleased to read your commenting suggestion here. I was actually going to ask for suggestions but then forgot to when I posted. I appreciate you taking the time to share your ideas; they help a lot. Thank you SO much Larry. I am honored.

Oh really, and what if I stop comment on your blog? what then?

A computer is not necessary for a writer. All you need is some scrap of paper and a pencil. The computer helps to speed up the organizing, but it should never detract you from having experiences.
Robin replies
Hello dear j/k, You asked: “…what if I stop comment on your blog? what then?” Well, maybe we’d all be out in the sunshine having a grand old time. Imagine everyone laughing and playing in the sun. I like that!
—I often write with paper and pencil and keep them with me always. But when one is doing a novel length book for their agent and publisher, it is (not impossible but…) a bit harder to use paper and pencil and meet the required time lines. Although, all my writing started out that way, with a #2 pencil and an old pad of paper, but then when sending it to my literary agent I had to transcribe it all on the computer. Now, I simply use the computer. I went through too many erasers!!! Lol! I did read that Stephen King wrote a book using a pencil and paper. I might try it again some day. Thanks!!

I have been watching my moods lately. One thing I noticed is I spend more time on the computer when I’m feeling depressed. I’ve been trying to step back too. This isn’t good for me or my kids. We have been going to the parks and things as it should be. Today I find myself here on the computer because my neighbors were up all night partying and I’ve had little sleep. I so wanted to take my children for a walk so again, depressed. Through the depression there is light.
Through all of the craziness of last night I gave my husband a kiss and said, “Thank you for letting me talk you into this Habitat thing.”
My message: We all need breaks and computers aren’t good for your health anyway. Take a walk enjoy the pinks and purples as the sun rises. I don’t know much about the desert so if there are birds listen to those. Stay away from anything that rattles unless it wears diapers and poops a lot. Don’t touch the cacti, it could hurt (unless you have to have water.) The western music from old cowboy movies is very disruptive to the state of mind don’t envision John Wayne as you walk. ![]()
Robin replies
Dear dear Shirley, I am laughing out loud — the “rattles and poops” part pushed me over the edge. I’m still laughing as I write. You are so funny. And here you are still lauhing even after being up all night. I think that is amazing. I love that you were still able to see through the depression/lack of sleep and feel grateful for your husband and Habitat. That reflects real strength of character and someone who has their priorities straight. I love you for that. Also for taking your kids to the park. Such a gift for them and it’s great exercise. They get to run off steam from being indoors. And like you said it’s just plain healthy and as it should be. I hope that you have since had a good nights sleep. PS I’ll ditch the John Wayne CDs!! It’ll be hard but I’ll do it just for you. LOL!!!

Dear Robin,
I just left you another long message on the sidebar. Now I will continue over here.
We connected a while back and I feel so much joy and love every time I see you appear on my computer screen. You have followed my personal journey through my high, my low. and my really low. Each time I come out of those “times” it is always through the help of the vast outside world. For me it is the wildlife refuge and my back yard that is full of miles and miles of open spaces along the river. I take off with my backpack and sometimes I wish I could keep on walking. I always turn around and go back feeling recharged. I miss my blogging. I miss my writing but the trade offs were just as you described. I found myself not having time to comment unless I had hours to spend on the computer. I just do not have them anymore. I wanted me back and to do that I had to give up the endless hours behind the computer. Sure…I will be back. Right now…I am where I need to be.
You are so talented. You are a free spirit. I want to read your new book. I want to hear your music. Go do what you need to do and we will all gain something.
I know this is hard for you. You have such wonderful friends that you have made. They will still be here along with your journey. Keep us posted on your happiness. Take more video footage of you rolling down hills. Take more video footage of your music added to the scenery. Every once in a while share a piece of your journey with us. Sit down and play a tune and share it with us while you just speak with that wonderful smile.
When you are out on a walk…stop and listen to the wind… that will be me sending you hugs and kisses from far away. Ha…Dylan and I are good at that!
Much love to you always,
Tammy
Robin replies
Wow! Dear Tammy this is so full of your soul. Just beautiful. I relate strongly to putting that pack on and just walking and walking and walking….and (as you say) “sometimes I wish I could keep on walking.” I have that feeling almost every time I walk. It’s like a Zen thing. A meditation, a mystery and magic all thrown together. I see down the road a walk where I just keep walking. I’m not yet sure where, but I know it is part of my destiny. —Thank you for encouraging the creative things that I so love doing. You bring a smile to my face and fill my heart with joy. —And yes, Tammy I will (and do) hear you upon the wind. I have for some time now. And Dylan also lives in my heart. Let him know that. He is a special soul. Much love, back to you both, always.

Dear Robin, you must listen to your heart! For those of us who replenish ourselves in nature, and thrive there, computer time does begin to feel stifling, despite all our wonderful online friendships. I find the longer I sit in front of it, the less I’m able to feel and think, almost as if my head is filled with cement and my body’s filled with lead. But I’m really meant to be a feather on the wind! I know you feel this, too. And with the added self-imposed feeling of obligation, as Chrissy says, we feel a little less able to breathe. So, go. Breathe! Relax and enjoy. We’ll love seeing the new you! Many happy hugs to you!
~ Julie
Robin replies
Oh dear Julie, you express here exactly what happens to me. I am less able to feel and think, and yes, my head feels like a concrete block sitting atop my thin neck and my body becomes weighted down with a much denser energy than I am used to. You are right, we both are feathers on the wind. And I also become psychically drained as I “empath” so easily, I feel everyone’s Life and thoughts and emotions…all of it. I often take a hot bath after or else a long walk to let all the energy that is not mine blow away on the wind. I hope to do a video about this at some point; I think you will relate to it. It’s one I’ve been working on. Thank you dear soul for telling me to breathe, relax and enjoy. And many hugs to you too.

As you evolve, its natural that your focus evolves. To be an observer of your life enables you to step back and experience life differently. Everything unfolds at your pace. As you redefine freedom, may you continue to open meaningful doors into consciousness and share infinite love.
Robin replies
Dear Liara, Yes, if we observe our lives is very remarkable, freeing. We are able to make choices every step of the way. We are able to evolve within an instant. We are often taught that our evolution takes place over millennia, but I have learn it can happen easily within our lifetime, within a year, within a day, within an instant’s choice. I love that. Thank you for sharing such beautiful wisdom here.

Dear Robin,
There is nothing more important than being true to your Self. Let your spirit soar and your heart sing!
Connecting with nature is vital for our well being, it teaches us who we are. And, you know how to connect! A missing piece to my journey just appeared in my life… I started a program in ecopsychology so that I have a foundation to teach others how to connect and heal through nature.
With love & blessings,
~Tania
Robin replies
Dear Tania, this is SUCH exciting news. I am thrilled to read your words about nature, our connection to it, and that you have found a missing piece in your journey. It is truly an astounding piece; isn’t it? I too am an avid fan of ecopsychology. It is a HUGE missing piece for us all, for the entire collective culture, at least here in the USA and many other countries/cultures around the world. You have tapped into something so massive and you will be a dynamic teacher of these fundamental and essential truths. I am eager to see where this takes you. If you feel the urge please let me know. I am jumping up and down inside for you, for me, for the world and Earth who now has one more voice. Thank you Tania, and love and blessings to you on your amazing journey.

Hi Robin,
It’s an honor, always, to be here. Today especially, as you remind me of what’s important. I feel a real connection to you, to what you represent, and to the spirit that shines out from you.
So, know that I’m happy for you – happy that you’re listening to your heart. Doing what is “right” for you. I’ll miss seeing you around, yet that’s okay – I know you’re there in spirit. And that’s enough…
I look forward to the seeing the journey you are on continuing in directions that are right and true for you. Know also that you hold a special place in my heart, and you’re going forth puts a smile on my face.
…sending you a big bear hug…
Lance
Robin replies
Awww geez, Lance, I read this and cried. I love it. It is people like you who made this such a tough decision. I am so moved by these honest and bare emotions you express here. I know we are connected Lance and always will be. I am made stronger because of who you choose to be/live in the world. I am am also touched by your joy for me, your understanding as well. Lance never underestimate how truly vibrant you are. You shine. You would make an exceptional motivational/inspirational speaker. You have a great gift of lifting people up. You may already do that?? But I have seen you in that role. You would be good with all ages as the child in you is still very much alive. And of course you are excellent with adults. You would even be amazing with teens, which can sometimes be tough group to approach. I just see so much coming in your future. You spread a huge swath of love with you move through the world. It is very visible. I just know our paths will cross. And I am sending you a great big bear hug back. And I will see you around; I know.

Hi Robin,
I can totally relate to your computer situation as I’ve been doing basically the same thing. You’ve inspired me to make some adjustments and seek balance. The call of spring is saying “come outside†and I need to respond. Your honesty and sincerity come through loud and clear and you touch our hearts, thank you.
Robin replies
Dear Jonathan, It is I who am touched by your honesty and sincerity in this comment. It does me good to know others whom I respect feel the same and may be going through the same thing. Your words encourage me to stay on track, to really look at where I’m going and what do I need to live as fully as possible. I like your word: “Balance”. Yes, that is right because if we get away and refresh in nature or do things we love then we come back filled with more passion for our writing and other creative endeavors. The call from “spring” is very strong now here in the southwest. When I respond to it I am instantly uplifted and feel excited, positive and renewed. Thank you for touching my heart.

Robin, I KNOW. I understand. I’ve been offline for some time, now, and feel the need to return, perhaps only in fits and starts. I think of you ALWAYS, and fear that my absence might seem like a lack of interest. No – it’s not. It’s a break from the screen. The positive ions, maybe.
Perhaps this is the furthest from nature we can be, but it affords us a wonderful way to connect and communicate, so it’s not all bad. Still, it warrents a break, and I can relate to this. Yes.
I know. And, in being true to yourself, you are being true, in a sense, to everyone around you. I miss you, and miss being here with you. But you are always in my heart, and I take you with me wherever I might go. I see you in the trees, and in the sky. I breathe you in the air.

Hi Robin!
Wow the book is almost ready!!! I am so excited and cannot wait to read it!
As for your decision, Robin I wholeheartedly agree! It is funny (or not that funny really) but I have found myself in a similar predicament lately. As I am working full time, and taking a heavy course, and blogging on three blogs, I just found that I too could not and perhaps cannot visit the blogs I love as regularly as I like. And a little feeling inside sort of feels torn here, but I like you cannot spend my life around a computer. It is not even that perhaps, it is just about striking a balance. And since I have a busier than normal time in my life, really from now until June, I just have to make peace with that fact. I just don’t want the bloggers whose blogs I love so much to feel like I jumped ship or anything – but I hope that they know enough of me up until now to know that is not the case.
In any regard I am so happy for you and the exciting times ahead, you have a great gift of communicating and spreading the passionate messages where nature, etc is concerned and so I rejoice in the fact that you will be writing and speaking and reaching as many souls as possible!
All the best

Hi Robin,
I know what you mean. The internet can really take its toll with all there is to keep up with—a real overload. But, you go do what you were meant for, Robin, and know that your cyber-peeps will be here for you if you have a story of your adventures to share. Do you know who you remind me of? You are the white bird in the song by the same name…”White Bird” by It’s A Beautiful Day. I’m sure you’ve heard it, but if not, go listen. It is you!
And, by the way, do you happen to know what you were doing on August 24, 2008 at 6:23 p.m.? I do. You were writing a few kind words in my very first blog comment ever and I’ve always considered that a blessing of sorts for my blog. (Is that weird???) I cherish that you were my first commenter as I cherish all that you stand for. How lucky am I?
So, fly little Robin, fly!
Many hugs,

Dear Robin,
Do what you have to do, my dear friend. We will definitely want to have you around more often, but when blogging gets in the way to living your life, to enjoying the world you so love, then I think it’s wise that you are cutting down your computer time a little.
You have been, and always will be, an inspiration for me. When I’m down, when I need to connect, it’s your place I come to for comfort, to gain great insights, to listen to your spirit talking directly into my heart.
Take care, sister. You are loved. Deeply.

I fully agree Robin. I’ve reached the stage where I only write a blog post when I really want to. Even though I work hard, I’ve been consumed with blogging to the point where my work has suffered. It had to stop. I think I would now prefer to produce one good post per month, than a lot of waffle, just to ‘make a post’
I think a lot of us who hit the high tide a few months ago, have been washed-up breathless on the beach for a while.
love
henry
ps: It was great to meet you on YouTube

Oh dear henry, this is wonderful to hear. I relate to it so much. It is very life-affirming for me. I am glad you are giving yourself this breathing room. I am laughing over us “beached whales” who hit the hide tide and ended up washed-up breathless on the beach. LOLOL!!! You are a joy, henery! Such great imagery. —I LOVED your spring video. It is AWESOME. I experienced true peace watching it. I am in awe of your talent, sensitivity and beauty. You have great talent there for creating soothing and deeply powerful peace and insight through this medium. When you are not over worked I hope I get to see more. I just added it to my favorites and am watching it “as we speak” (third time). Thank you henry, Love Robin

Robin, it’s obvious you’ve been spending a long, long time cooped up inside and that is good for no-one, especially an outdoors type. Go get the stink blown off you! Hee hee, that’s my favorite Robin quote, and now I’m sending it back to you! Seriously, I’ve always been amazed and a little daunted by your productivity (and quality of course), I’m not just talking about your blog here, I mean all those kind, thoughtful comments you scatter around the internet like seeds. It must take an age, and it must take it out of you. You need to get grounded and take some nourishment in for yourself. So go on, shoo, what’r you waiting for!
PS:- from someone who really DOES neglect her blog and online friends for months at a time… you don’t seem to have slowed up much!
