As you explained what you felt in the city, my soul resonated immediately. It is incredible to be immersed in the oneness of nature, and then see life like that. It is shocking. I have already started to feel, even before I moved out here, that it was like watching beings from another planet. I recently read somewhere that it is as if there were two types of humans being formed on this planet currently. Two distinctly different species seem to be emerging. Thinking back to what I see in big cities, I can see the point completely. There are those of us who are turning more and more inward, natural and one. And there are those who continue chasing the illusions, and being driven by fear, greed and separateness. Anyway, what you did with your healing day was a perfect idea! And I love the people you met - oh I can only imagine the beautiful mark you left on their hearts, as they had the chance to interact with your rich spirit. I am so HAPPY FOR YOU that everything went so well. I remember a year ago or so talking to you about reviewing your book (more like sharing it with more people) - and it is great to know that the time has finally come :) Hi Robin

So good to see you here Chris. I think you raise a really good point. I sensed that if I’d been there longer- – that NYC is such a wild place with SO many people from all over the world — that one could have totally life-altering experiences there just like they could in the rainforest. I think one would constantly run into the “never-before-experienced”. Although I’ve been in other major cities, mostly passing through, there was something that was uniquely New York. Something I’d not seen anywhere else, and although I’ve tried to put my finger on it several times, I’ve not yet been able to. As I think about it — and I know this may sound odd — it seemed a friendlier city than any I’d been in before. Contrary to what I’d always heard, the taxi and van drivers, the pedestrians and hotel staff were all quite relaxed. I did not encounter one rude taxi driver. Where some other cities where I’ve ridden in taxis the drivers cussed the whole time. LOL!! I bet you have some WILD stories of NYC if you lived there for any length of time. Thank you for stopping by Chris and for sharing here. It means a lot to me. Hugs, Robin Hey my dear friend!! So good to see you here Chris. I think you raise a really good point.

My dear old friend, and I don't mean old in age, as we are much the same in that area. I mean my old friend of several years ago. What a heartwarming joy to see you here. As to my book it will be released Sept 2010 and I will do a post about it and with links to all the places you can buy it. I will be thrilled to have you read it. I think you will DEEPLY appreciate my relationship to the rainforest trees in this story. I know you, too, have a great love of the old trees. They speak to you and listen to you as well. I also was touched by your story of being in NYC. As I read about your experience it hit me that, YES, New Yorkers were VERY friendly people. I could ask total strangers for directions and they didn't even bat an eyelash. Thank you my dear friend for stopping in. I will let you know when the book is out. It's been an interesting journey, one that has invited me to do much growing. I think of you often. Hope you are taking care of yourself. Hugs to you always, Robin xox Oh!!

What you shared here is not only wise, but also beautifully poetic and profound. I just LOVE this line as it slammed into me in a really profound way: "...you were brought to NYC for that moment in time." Wow! That just made me look so much more deeply at all the interactions we have, it made me claim more of my experience. I also loved the little red hearts on the ground. That is SO lovely. It also made me think how we all choose to leave or not leave little red hearts in our footsteps. I will not forget your words and next time (or even today) I will honor even MORE fully each interaction for the moment in time that it is. Beautiful dear tell.

I have wanted to drop you a note and tell you how MUCH your comment on my last post meant to me. I was STUNNED by it, moved by it and grateful that you shared it. Thank you so so much. You confirmed for me more than you know (well you probably DO know), you confirmed all the things that I sensed in you, the things that make you rich in life experience and wisdom. It is the "Mike's Story" that I hunger to hear. It is the story that will help so many others and change lives. I thought a lot about your comment over the days. It was a HUGE gift, one I am deeply grateful for. Thank you my good friend. You are more blessing than you probably know. Hugs, Robin Dearest Mike.

I am learning how to "be" in the world no matter where I am. It is not an easy lesson for me, but one that is making me grow, one that fills me with more compassion. But I am always most grateful to return to my wild windy mesas, slot canyons and mountain peaks. Always. Thank you my brother. Aroha always, Your Wild Sister.

So many times I look at the clock or watch (which I NEVER do otherwise) and I think it's 7:30 PM here so it's 9:30 PM there. "They must just be settled in for the evening and it's going dark there now. I wonder what Stacey is seeing, feeling and thinking." I often wonder if you are seeing the sunrise or sunset. And I wonder if you are dry or wet or the black flies or mosquitoes are biting or how you are feeling as you walk. I have thought everyday about you reaching the view points where you can see NYC, and I'm not sure why but it makes me cry. I feel you with all that wildness and innocence still clinging to you, part of you, and then you peeking out at the world of man through the trees, just like I used to peek out at the world from my rainforest world (like a wild animal) and watch the goings on of humans and feel so removed from them and it all. In those moments I knew in my soul what the deer, wallabies, bears, wolves, and other wild creatures feel when they peer out from the trees, curious, smelling the life of humans, knowing (in most cases) that it is not a safe place for them, as they silently retreat back into the trees. I picture you a bit like that. The wildness still clinging to you like a the scent of pine and damp earth. I am moved to tears by the beauty of your soul. It's as if you speak things on my own heart. I am with you dear sweet friend. I am still walking with you in spirit. Always. Much love, Robin Dearest Stacey, I think of you every day.
