Has anyone else noticed that thus lifestyle makes it really easy to pinpoint addictions? One day I spent hours online trying to find a way to get butter without going to the grocery store. I was also searching for chocolate and coffee and sugar. Now that it is apparent I could just stop consuming those things... sigh. Time to get back on that bicycle.

I go to the water just about every day. There is something so nourishing about the moving sparkling water Friends who know me well sometimes ask fir a healing energy session. If they do, I simply sit at the water as usual, only this tine I say their name and hold my hands out palms up. I can often feel sensations running through me, or take cleansing breaths. Somehow I can feel when the tension is released and when the session is over. It is really like a prayer. I would like to offer this to anyone who resonates with it and feels in need.
Aloha, Robin I've pretty much been alone all winter on a self-imposed retreat of sorts here in Wellfleet. Don't ask me why, I don't really know. I've been biking, walking and really just being with myself. A pathway just led me here.
Now it's kind of odd to watch the world go into this virus-induced social isolation. It makes me hope that people will have an opportunity to be with themselves and reflect a little. Here's wishing you peace of mind and a heart full of love. 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
One year at the house by the farmstand, Richard and I had a beautiful Christmas tree. It must have been the first year we were together because it wasn't typical for me to be there at Christmastime. Over the years I usually traveled and returned in the spring to help with the flower growing. Anyway, I decorated that first tree with all the ornaments I had colleted or been given throughout the years. This little person ornament was on that tree. After Christmas we must have put the tree outback for the animals. Once on a return trip to the farm I noticed this little person sitting in the corner of the large mirror near where Richard always sat. I asked him about it and he said it was me. He kept it there so that I would always be there with him. This morning I was looking at it, sitting on the corner of my desk here on Kauai. I always position her leaning on the dolphins and looking out at the water. Love always, Robin <3
My friend Tara came to visit. She wanted to go to the west side, Waimea. We found this beautiful place with plantation cottages where we could get an ided tea and lemonade. We had been talking about the magic of the island and I had said I was starting to feel a connection to horses. We wanderd down to the beach and found a hammock and a chair to hang out in. Lo and behold here comes a horse and rider down the shore.. Tara encouraged me to go say hi and I did! Didn't know she was going to snap a picture..or I might have fixed my dress so it didnt hang like some moo moo! A special magical moment to be sure, though. Thank you Tara
Well this is how it goes here, as I said this morning. Feeling uncertain about the future and alone, I head to my special beach When I get there a young man is next to his truck stringing a lei. I go up to ask him about it. He got the flowers from his auntie's tree and is making the lei for his mother. We exchange names and it turns out he knows of me through his girlfriend. We talk about how special this place is and he seems to answer all of my unasked questions. He asks me to let the puppy out...maybe he has to pee. I pick up the cute wiggly bundle that he had only rescued yesterday from a dumpster and we "talk story" about the dog shelter. He hands me the lei and says to put it in the car. Its my first flower lei since arriving in November. Walking on the beach afterward I feel teary and filled with love...that such a young person would take time in their day for me.
It's been 6 months now since Ive been here in Kauai. Every time I begin to make plans to leave she tugs me again by the heart by giving me another magical day gazing at the waves, or watching the tiny crabs scurrying sideways along the beach while carefully watching me with their tiny protruding eyes on top of their heads! haha
So for now I'm searching for a place on the North Shore, closer to my favorite beach and special places. Meanwhile i think of my friends often and know I will be back visiting with you again soon. Love, Robin |
