When I was up on that mesa in the roaring wild wind I remembered how you had mentioned getting out the kayaks and going onto the water. I told my husband that you were probably "down there" in the warm sunshine on the water. When I read your comment here I laughed with DELIGHT that you WERE doing exactly THAT...and even in "head winds". Yes, Nature is where we find ourselves, because, as you say, we ARE Nature. I am also chuckling because I read your quote here that you said "I" wrote and I had no memory of writing it. Then I realized I often have no memory of what I write or the awareness of writing...even. Then I realized that it's because I'm NOT aware that I am "writing". I am only aware that I am FEELING. The Love just flows through me, and the "ego" me doesn't even exist. I become the Love flowing through me. So the things I write are not from my mind or thoughts; they are from my "beingness", they are from what flows through me, what I become when IT flows through me. I know that if I had to write something from a "thought place" or my "mind", I could not, Wilma. So I am so so grateful to you for not only making me more aware of this aspect of myself, but for being one of my GREATEST inspirations. I FEEL you way over here as if there is no distance or time. There isn't. I want you know that your WIDE OPEN heart just lets ALL the Love in me flow out, all the magic and wonder and joy. And flow out without a backward glance. Flow out without shame or worry of judgment or need to put ME in conext. THAT is YOUR great gift to the world. And believe me, dear one, it is a HUUUUUUGE gift. The world is starved for who you ARE. And yes, "Nature includes us as well". Isn't that AMAZING! And we ARE the wind and sun and rain and vitality in each others and others lives. Never doubt the extent of your GREATNESS. It's vast like Mother Earth. You REALLY live that my friend. You are a most beloved angel. I really can't tell you how much Wilma, but I know in your heart that you understand...even without my words. I am with you and you are with me. Always. All Love, Robin.

I am also chuckling because I read your quote here that you said “I” wrote and I had no memory of writing it. Then I realized I often have no memory of what I write or the awareness of writing…even. Then I realized that it’s because I’m NOT aware that I am “writing”. I am only aware that I am FEELING. The Love just flows through me, and the “ego” me doesn’t even exist. I become the Love flowing through me. So the things I write are not from my mind or thoughts; they are from my “beingness”, they are from what flows through me, what I become when IT flows through me.

Thank you for your beautiful and loving sentiments here. They brought tears to my eyes. You wrote: "...we are you, at the top of the mesa and anywhere." This just brings immediate tears of love to my eyes. It is soooo true, dear Liara, I feel this all the time and am grateful that you bring it to full light here. People might think the internet (and the people we connect with here) is "JUST the internet", and separate from our "real" lives, but for me the deeply beautiful souls who come to these pages and share their most vulnerable and beautiful selves are profoundly real to me. They ARE me, Liara. I love them. And, as you say, you all are with me. This is true, Liara. And I with you. Thank you, dear one, for moving me deeply today. Love, Robin Dearest Liara.

We are surrounded by a lot of trees and bush on our little spot here, so on a stormy summer day with the doors open it is full of sound and lovliness. Charlie and I stood out there for a long time observing the gales passing over. I could only imagine what Top Maropea would be like, and how we would love it! But as we watched the trees in our own yard moan and sway, I began to see how the native trees stood fairly easy and tall, taking the weather in stride. The exotics along our nieghbors edge struggled in the wind, they do do not dance and sway as the ones who understand. I am glad you understand my Wild Sister. It is just about knowing where Home is. Kia kaha. Aroha, Robb Kia ora Robin,

Oh nature is where we find ourselves as nature is us and we are nature. In one of your comments you say here; "If we spend much time in the wild, Nature demands that we awaken, rise up and become our best, give our best. If we are in Nature long enough, we realize that there are no half measures, no compromises, we are not the one in charge and we can no longer afford complacency." If we can make our daily life like this, we are who we are meant to be. Alive Co-Creators with nature as our ally. AND nature includes us as well. Oh imagine, living like that, being surrounded by that energy always, you and me BE-ing nature and those forces for each other. We too are the wind and sun in our and others' lives. Oh Robin, YES, that is how I desire the rest of my life to be, the storm, the sun, the calm and the awareness, the BE-ing, embracing LIFE and ALL there is, stripped to its bare self. And I am stripping, (which is easy now it is summer :)). As always, I felt you my friend, lots of love, Wilma Robin, while I was guess where . . . being carressed by head winds in my kayak, you are cradled by them as well.
