You’re so welcome. Thrilled to do so! Anyone that can provide me an escape for 10 minutes or 10 hours an extra fine writer. I have a very high suspicion of belief threshold.
That's the best compliment, Hudson! Mucho gracias! On a mission to restore soils and souls! Please share Wildlands with those you feel would appreciate and benefit from it! Word of mouth beats algorithms!! XX
Full disclosure, I’m just an Umpire . I called ‘em as I see ‘em.
My words are exactly what I mean. Nothing else nothing more. I understand that dynamic so well. I’ve been blessed enough to pursue my passion and make a comfortable living at it for a long time.
Left-field sidenote…..that’s exactly the mechanism that makes a Finland public education the best in the world. 4- 8 hour days a week. Crushing even the 6 dsy, 10 hour Asian model. How?
The school mandated curriculum is only in the mornings, but in the afternoon the students choose the subjects. Junior, and senior years they get to actually go do it.
Is it a revelation that people are good at what they enjoy?
Pardon my cynicism. I’m such a delight in my dotage. 🙈
Thank you, Nature, you express a beautiful truth of our be-ing and for all be-ings in our world! Welcome to Wildlands, beautiful Soul, called Nature! I am grateful for your comments! You are welcome anytime and All-ways!
Thank you, Hudson! I truly appreciate you! Wildlands reached a milestone today with growth!! Cheers to more regenerative, organic, native pollinator, healing and food gardens for wildlife and for children with physical, emotional and mental challenges.
Thanks so much for sharing Robin. This is so synchronous as I have been thinking a lot lately about Jung’s practice of drawing mandalas and your own deep engagement is a wonderful illustration and inspiration of this ancient path to soul connection
I love the emphasis here on 'we are nature'. To me, this is so obvious! And yet to so many, not even thought about. The words and pics in this essay, Robin, are just great. Thanks so much. And now I am about to go out for my early morning solo walk in nature - well, actually, as part of nature. I will reflect about this in a different way since reading your piece.
Thank you, Jane, I am glad that my work has changed how you think and feel during your solo walk in nature. That is a huge compliment to my "soul changing" work. ; )
Thank you, Jane. I have been teaching this for years and believe me, it is a "new" wisdom to many people. I saw your note about your walk, and I see that indeed, you "reflected a different way since reading my piece." I'd love a shout out about how my work changed your solo walk in nature. That would be great and true, and it's according to you. ; ) xx
I think I might write a piece about this and connect it to ageing. If you don’t see something in the next week or two, give me a nudge! I will just have forgotten 🤣
Thank you for your comment in my “We are Nature” essay and how you “will reflect differently on your solo walk in nature.”
And, you posted a note about your walk feeding your soul. Lovely. That would be a great place to “connect my work” to your revelation and it may help with your request for a “nudge”. Thank you. ; )
Wonderful post; way back when I was studying science and engineering, I was fascinated by patterns, symmetey, but it was from a mathematical scientific view. Solving equations, solving problems. Much later, as my mind expanded, along with my interests, I began to notice that in Nature, such patterns exist. Everywhere This is beauty and brings so much joy.
I also want to echo the point that we are Nature. There is no good reason to hurt or be cruel to any animal. Just this morning, as I was feeding the birds and squirrels their nuts and seeds, a skunk came out of the bushes. It was shortly after sunrise. I stood there and watched him; as he was watching me. He ate some seeds right in front of me, a few feet away. This is the closest that I ever got to a skunk. He had a kind and gentle face.
Awwww, thank you, Perry, confirming you resonate with the message of this essay means a lot and I appreciate your comment. I had engineering project in design school and it was fascinating to balance objects. Otherwise, arts and story-telling for me.
Aho with the animal sentiment, too. That sounds magical with the critters! Talk about wildlife with me anytime!! I want to hear more.
Skunks are very sweet, gentle animals. A colleague rescues them. They are cute. So cool!
I was with wildlife today- Golden Eagle, Barn owls, Bard owls, Kestrel, reptiles and mammals at a Nature Center in a forest, then on a lake kayaking viewing lots of wildlife and forest. The captive wildlife are injured and can't be released. They have permanent injuries from fishing lines left behind. One Red Tail hawk is named Toby. His toes were amputated due to the fishing lines left in the waters. Turtles have been rescued, too. And, others...
And, I see Wildlands essays and data sources have inspired many of your essays. Good luck and all the best with your hiatus from your newsletter and enjoy your time with nature.
Tonight, through Sarah Fay Writers at Work Notes Boost Challenge, Jane Duncan Rogers requested to see my essay about Fibonacci Sequences, one of Nature's Sacred Arts.

Thanks for restacking my essay, Hudson, I appreciate your support!
You’re so welcome. Thrilled to do so! Anyone that can provide me an escape for 10 minutes or 10 hours an extra fine writer. I have a very high suspicion of belief threshold.
Or I’m just a grumpy old cynic in my dotage.
Not sure. 😉🫵💪👏👏👏
"Extra fine writer" at your service, with a mission to smart-up the dumb-downs! Cheers!
Sharing from Amy E. who sent this comment, "Beautiful message, merci, dear Robin."
Romanesco is the coolest Fibonacci sequence ever!!! 🤣
Thanks for restacking my essay, Hudson! I appreciate your support!
My pleasure. It’s awesome.
Thank you very much! It was fun to write it, too!
I’ll bet. No wonder you are so eloquent and plainly put, a darn fine writer. You’re doing what you enjoy.
Good for you!
That's the best compliment, Hudson! Mucho gracias! On a mission to restore soils and souls! Please share Wildlands with those you feel would appreciate and benefit from it! Word of mouth beats algorithms!! XX
I’m so glad you think so. It was meant that way!

All the things in nature are together in one place.
Each thing is moved by Nature’s pattern.
Signals give direction. 🔄
The whole divides in to parts. 🧬
The parts move around and round and in and out of each other.
Like water flowing in rivers 💦 and oceans 🌊 and changing into vapor 💨 and snow ⛄️❄️and ice 🧊.
The water flows in and out of creatures 🐿️ and plants 🌱.
Every part is circulating, round and round. 💫 🪐 ⛈️ 🌪️
Things unFold 🌱 then enFold 🍂 .
Everything in the UNIverse fits 🧩
because each part BELONGS
to the ONE whole cyclic cosmic song 🎻 and dance 💃🏻.
Thank you, Nature, you express a beautiful truth of our be-ing and for all be-ings in our world! Welcome to Wildlands, beautiful Soul, called Nature! I am grateful for your comments! You are welcome anytime and All-ways!
That is a beautiful sentiment and reply! 💪👏

I love looking at mandalas !!
Meee, tooo, Mike! Thanks for sharing that! I will think of you the next time I see mandalas. All blessings to you!
I was outdoors all day today, with wildlife, a lake and a forest. Bliss.
Very nice.
Thanks, Robin, for the mention! It's been great hosting this lovely article on Mentatrix!
Thanks so much for sharing Robin. This is so synchronous as I have been thinking a lot lately about Jung’s practice of drawing mandalas and your own deep engagement is a wonderful illustration and inspiration of this ancient path to soul connection
Thanks for your comment about my essay and work, @Depth Writing With Dr Rachel. Indeed, drawing mandalas is something I did as a child.
Dr. Jung’s work shares an important reminder of a path to wisdom. Enjoy your exploration!
We are born with wisdom and our work is to stay connected with our soul.
