From a new Wildlands Subscriber, "...you have a very beautiful and amazing write up. how do you come about such amazing write up? wow I love it." -ML
Thank you to all Wildland supporters! Together, we can transform trauma and reduce harm. Never under estimate the power of one person and the power of YOU!!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Travis, personal choices are well, personal. Different perspectives help build variety.
There are many opportunities to see gratitude, interconnection, compassion and empathy.
Yes, a collab of trees and tree crops is welcomed, as you are welcomed anytime, perhaps a guest writer post would be appealing (?). Many blessings, to you, Travis.
I find this piece incredibly inspiring and full of actionable insights. The emphasis on gratitude, interconnection, and reciprocity resonates deeply with me. The phrase *“Gratitude not only makes us feel better in the moment, it rewires our brain for resilience”* captures the transformative power of thankfulness so beautifully.
Robin, your call to action—whether through small acts of kindness, supporting local farmers, or advocating for ecosystems—feels like a reminder of how each of us can contribute meaningfully to the health of our planet and communities.
I especially appreciated the practical steps and resources for finding local co-ops, supporting farmers’ markets, and eating seasonally. These actions, combined with the compassionate reminder to include and connect with others, make your vision feel accessible and doable.
Thank you for sharing your journey, your insights, and your creative ways of building resilience and reducing harm. It’s inspiring to see how interconnected efforts can foster well-being for all species. #GratitudeInAction
Awwww, you made my day!! I am so thankful that the messages resonate with you and inspired amazing insights about my work. You beautifully demonstrated why I do what I do, and I am grateful for You!! XX
Yes we will continue to heal our beloved Pachamama. The best way to combat election despair is to take action. If you see something say something. If you see something, do something.
My beloved father and hero, Solomon Eisenberg served on the USS Daly DD-519, a Naval Destroyer during World War II. He saved two men who fell overboard into the Bering Sea off the coast of Adak, when the Japanese occupied the Aleutian Islands of Alaska after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
My Dad worked as a Machinist’s Mate in the engine room on the USS Daly and was continually exposed to asbestos for more than three years. He was deployed to Nagasaki to “mop up” after the US dropped the atomic bomb. My father died of adenocarcinoma in Sloan Kettering Hospital in New York City on June 19, 1978, my sister’s birthday. It was a terribly painful and agonizing disease and death and the US Navy would not assume any responsibility for my father’s cancer from exposure to asbestos and radiation. My Dad was 53 years of age when he died yet his parents lived well into their 80s and 90s. My grandma, Dad’s mother was 97 years old when she passed.
I have explored my beloved father’s military history and learned how other Naval servicemen fared on the USS Daly DD-519. Many became ill with cancer and died. I examined US military policy regarding asbestos and radiation exposure today. US Congressman Ron Barber in Tucson, Arizona was extremely helpful in retrieving my father’s records from the National Personnel Record Center. In response to my inquiries, my father was posthumously awarded several additional Medals of Honor. He was not awarded a Silver Star that he so rightfully earned. We requested this.
I worked in the bush of Alaska on the Bering Sea - Bristol Bay, Yup’ik Eskimo country and wear a walrus tooth that my father acquired while serving in the Navy in this region of the Bering Sea. He gave this walrus tooth to my Mom, and today I wear this tooth close to my heart, not far from its place of origin.
My beloved Dad was exposed to asbestos continuously on Naval Destroyer 519 and was deployed to Nagasaki two or three weeks after the US dropped the atomic bomb. My Dad died of cancer, as did so many men on his ship due to exposure to asbestos and radiation. His life was cut short at 53 years of age. The US government took my beloved father from us, and this I shall never forgive.
I feel your pain and sadness, dear Amy. A 'like' seems inappropriate--deep empathy and compassion are being sent to you. Your heart is pure and your kindness is always appreciated by nature and her beings. Wars are awful and not the answer. We each serve in unique ways, and your father followed his calling, as did many in his generation-- not an easy one, for sure. Substack's limitations on reply length required a 4-part reply.
One day humans will awaken to their darkness and wars will not exist. Our work is transform harm into the light and the love that always awaits all, if they are willing. Generations of trauma have culminated to where we are today, an upside down and backwards world. Thank you for sharing your journey and may justice be served in the most magical ways. May your father's soul be surrounded with a love so radiant that it heals you completely. May ease and grace be with you always.
Wildlands works hard to transform traumas, and understands what you've expressed, including being helped by Ron, a kind man indeed. And, I agree re: the problems with the government complex. As you know, much of my work is to help others with self empowerment to shift our society to a small government.
Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT)
The NPT is a landmark international treaty whose objective is to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and weapons technology, to promote cooperation in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy and to further the goal of achieving nuclear disarmament and general and complete disarmament. The Treaty represents the only binding commitment in a multilateral treaty to the goal of disarmament by the nuclear-weapon States. Opened for signature in 1968, the Treaty entered into force in 1970. On 11 May 1995, the Treaty was extended indefinitely. A total of 191 States have joined the Treaty, including the five nuclear-weapon States. More countries have ratified the NPT than any other arms limitation and disarmament agreement, a testament to the Treaty’s significance.
Status and text of the Treaty
The Treaty is regarded as the cornerstone of the global nuclear non-proliferation regime and an essential foundation for the pursuit of nuclear disarmament. It was designed to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, to further the goals of nuclear disarmament and general and complete disarmament, and to promote cooperation in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy
To further the goal of non-proliferation and as a confidence-building measure between States parties, the Treaty establishes a safeguards system under the responsibility of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Safeguards are used to verify compliance with the Treaty through inspections conducted by the IAEA. The Treaty promotes cooperation in the field of peaceful nuclear technology and equal access to this technology for all States parties, while safeguards prevent the diversion of fissile material for weapon use.
I worked with a non-profit who were focused on no nukes for a short period of time. And, I'm not an expert on nukes or the United Nations. Both can be misused and can be dangerous.
As you know, Amy, I love and advocate for animals, trees and the Indigenous, and love the turtle song and the quote from FLW. My great-grandfather was a farmer and had nothing to do with wars. Transformation is my mission, including traumas, which many times are passed down through the generations stemming from the past. We are not responsible for what others do, we are responsible for what we do. Wildlands is doing hard work of healing psyches. And, the vision and mission is tiny but mighty.
As a peace and prosperity warrior, to reduce harm and increase love, life is complex. What would have happened if a President did nothing to protect his Country/humanity? Sad facts of life that we are here to discuss and do our part to make the world a better place.
It is always good to teach peace, which starts with health good social skills and common sense. The latter three have a lot of room for improvement so that peace and prosperity have a chance.
We must listen to our bodies, and do what is right for self. Thank you for your comments, this has been a lively discussion! XX

I would definitely be open to a collab discussing trees and tree crops, but we won’t necessarily see eye to eye on agriculture as a whole I’m afraid.
I appreciate the passion you bring to a subject you feel so strongly about. Thanks for sharing with me Robin.
Much love
Many blessings
