It is my true home -unchanging. Silence, and Embrace, and Inspirational flow -Transparency with Spirit and Universe. I connect with what you shared here: Thoughts and feelings flow like water. “I don’t know if I can do the ‘normal thing’. This being normal, only human, might be killing me. I took a few weeks off to just get away from some extras and yet I still feel like my well is not completely replenished. In fact I'm sick as I type this.. and I think to myself --what is a proper balance anyway? I get sick of the noise and the 'shoulds' and I just want to hibernate much more often --at least FIRST, but then I also am drawn back in sometimes because I love people and I want to make a difference in this world --without getting sensory *swallowed up. I am learning to live from my *strengths zone, without letting it kill me when I forget my balance. I am finding my way but it is very delicate walking ... balancing boundaries, and getting in to share and experience certain avenues but then getting out again before I am overcome and with a migraine. I sometimes have wondered lately if I am too passionate as well, like others might think I live in my own world. I suppose if I am honest, I do. I love to create and to be in the gentleness of the dawn and soaking it all up. I think I will not feel completely balanced until I can fully bring my version of this life back as a gift to my fellow siblings so they too can be encouraged and know that this creating can bring about "caring lifestyle" and "intimate connections" with all things through priority shifting and constant alignments with who we most are. Thank you Robin that I could be here today and clarify this in my mind and heart, that it is possible to be present in both worlds -- here and now. hugs, Jenn Sweet Robin, I love this post, I luv you! ;)

I have found wilderness very helpful for my meditation also. we are thus (my soul mates name is PRARTHANA ie prayer in sanskrit, she is a prayer personified for me)enjoying our retired life. I enjoy reading your blog. we are lucky, our son is settled in California, so every year we get to enjoy outings in the beautiful country too.

It becomes irrelevant who is watching, listening or from where. As we move toward greater transparency, we become more true to ourselves. Nothing else matters in the same way.

When we are asked to 'tell it like it is,' we learn that we have the power to change our story at any moment. To take the initiative to go from talking about changing our lives to actually doing it, enables you to feel good more consistently. You feel energized, renewed, enthusiastic, and your positive energy is sent out into the world. It is catching.

Thank you! I like the idea of the walk and it could even be used to raise money for some worthy cause like children or saving wildlife or rainforest, etc. People donate so much for a certain number of miles that I (we) walk. My sister has often wanted to do this too. We could have a group of women and call it "Wonderful Women Walking". You could come! I love it. You remain an inspiration. : ) I recommend Lilly's blog. She is one of my Aussie friends. You women will love her last post on the 1913 author Blanche Ebbutt who wrote a book titled, "Don'ts for Husbands" advising men how to treat women. It is a delight. You guys would like it too. Lilly is at: http://fearlessandfabulous.blogspot.com/ To read about Blanch Ebbutt click MEN under categories. Her most recent post is also a hoot!

It sounds to me that you are anything but solitary and more so one with the land. Wouldn't it be great to organize a walk from New Mexico to Alaska, and we could all come too!! You have great purpose and that will give you everything you need. Robin, I am sure you can have your wild retreat and still help.

I wanted to be able to hear my own thoughts, hear the dew crystallizing on the leaves, hear the clouds rustle overhead. I was about 800 yards from the house when I heard the door open, a distant click across the fields, and I knew the dogs were out and that they would try to find me. I crouched behind a split rail fence, to make them work at it a bit. They had no idea which direction I had gone when I left the house, so I settled into the long grass for a wait, the warm sun on my shoulders. But the older dog appeared over the hill in the lane less than two minutes later, her nose on the ground, running hard. The younger dog bounded along behind, goofy. A few seconds later, the older dog stopped on the other side of the fence, six feet from me, but still I did not move or make a sound. Then she slowly turned her head and looked right at me through the rails of the fence, and I swear to God she smiled. What could I do? I smiled back. Thanks for your post, Robin. You took me outside and through time and far away. One day in late autumn, when I was living on a farm, I left my two dogs inside while I went walking with my camera and tripod.

Beautiful writing that feeds the romantic, the soul...and makes you feel more human.
