It had snowed the day before but I decided to bike anyway. The roads seemed clear and the wind wasn't too strong. After making my way through the messy dirt- and twig- strewn road in the mobile home park, I came to the bike path only to find it had large patches of snow and ice. Well, what was I to do? The best thing seemed to be to go forward. As I started peddling over the snow and ice I found that I needed to stay on the crunchy yet undisturbed areas of snow. If I strayed into the path made by another cyclist I would soon loose my balance and begin to fall over. You see, the other cyclists paths had become frozen in place and it was impossible to stay within them. I was struck by the profoundness of this metaphor and it has stayed with me. A good rule of thumb, to forge ones own path! Thank you and love, always, Robin

Here I am in the depths of winter, reflecting on that calling I had while gazing at my mountain in Hanalei. It seemed like such a true voice inside that led me to travel to Cape Cod. And when in Kauai the world seems so easy to traverse! I have to admit there have been hurtles to jump, but now the magic of the Cape in winter has revealed itself. The sunrise over the ocean and the sunset over the bay, the quiet bike rides through the pines where nearly every day I hear a hawk, and the pungent smell of the marsh waters, all help keep me in awe. Peaceful meditation at the water every day holds my heart in beauty in the midst of all the troubling worldly events. So it is with love that I share these images of beauty with you. This is all I know to do right now. Peace be with you, Love, Robin
