Munch away LIVERS OF LIFE!
Posted by Robin Easton under: The Robin Report.
GREETINGS FELLOW EARTHLINGS!
I remember when I was a kid and I thought life was forever, that there was ONLY life and nothing else. I thought summer vacation was a year long, but it was barely three months. How amazing to be so in the moment that I was ignorant of death, ignorant that humans tend to live anywhere from 75 to 105 years. As a child there was just Life. It was an infinite thing…and maybe it really is. Who knows? Now as adults we tend to think life will last forever, but maybe in a sliiiightly different way than we did as kids. I suspect that when we are older it’s not so much about being in the moment as maybe having fallen asleep at the wheel. : ) Where as healthy kids live every moment with gusto, full on, volume ten, and they see little beyond the moment because they are too busy devouring new experiences, tastes, sounds, textures, sights and smells. They consume new experiences as if their life depended on it. It does. Isn’t that true for all of us?
Hopefully — if we have matured — by the age of 35 or 40 our minds and more importantly our bodies can fully grasp that the average life doesn’t last forever. If I look around me it appears that most humans tend to die somewhere between 75 and 105, unless they are struck by an accident, disease, or other unfortunate tragedy prior to this age. Or they have found a way to physically sustain themselves upon some mountain top, sitting guru style, buck naked in the snow, communing with the ethers to the great age of 150 or more. Okay, okay, moving along. : ) So I wonder: where in those years between childhood and 35 to 40 do we fall asleep at the wheel? Where do we start to let life slip by while we take a back seat and no longer pilot our own plane? More important, how do we return to “Life at volume ten”?

OK, here is the introduction, well sort of to Robin’s most recent blog. I like the music on the above video…so give it a listen. If you go to the previous blog you will find a long shot glimpse of my past. Ever hangout with live moose in the wilderness? I have, of course they were across the lake.
These last parts are more about my ancient past, places where I visited often or live beside. Sometimes, I just long for those waves again. Take your time. Explore. Don’t forget to go to Robin’s blog! http://nakedineden.com/nakedinedenblog/
