What ever happened to your blogging? I know I’m not alone in loving your writing. Any chance of a comeback?

My Dad used to teach us how to use a bow and arrow and I loved the focus of it, the intent. We never road horses LOL! however, I remember one day while doing it, after several misses of the target, hearing a voice go through my head, which I never forgot it.

It said, “Forget all thought, Robin. You must BECOME the arrow. The arrow is an extension of your intent. Forget all thought and send the arrow where YOU want to go. You must BECOME the arrow and go to the target yourself.”

I never forgot that and have applied it to many other activities. If I can move beyond the mechanics of whatever action I am trying to do (physical or otherwise) and become the arrow, become the leap across the stream, the jump from one rock to another, become the ball thrown into the hoop and so on, become the book I want to write, become the love I want to experience, become the world at peace and so on. It is a wild, powerful, uplifiting experience when we can forget ourselves and literally BECOME the action/intent.

You, dear friend, are a magical expression of wisdom, one filled with SO much grace and elegance, both inside and out…all of you. I hope I get to meet you one day.

This was a very thrilling and uplifting read for me. Know that you are often in my thoughts. I always feel connected. Much love, Robin

I am Japanese American, born in the USA and it embarrasses me that I don’t know much about the Japanese culture! (ha ha) But what I do know about what I read and have learned about it, is that the ancient Japanese culture was so rich in history and perfect design. Whether the design was in being the warrior, or architecture, or spiritual connectivenes with the universe, I am always amazed at how extremely intelligent they were back then.

I am also embarrassed that most of our people aren’t as wise as back then!

Keep on enriching us with your wisdom…

“The air lets the arrow pass right through.”

I hope you have a wonderful day.

Each energy is like a new food to try, and it transforms us into a new frequency band that is original and new the moment we merge with our newest outlook or perspective. We evolve truly when we allow our selves to change with all of our encounters.

I had not previously seen horse-back riding of this type.

“Become really good at what you want to do” makes sense. Whatever it is that we desire to do, that is where we should improve our skill. If it is really our desire, we will have the motivation to do this.

“Leave the crowds gasping with astonishment at your bravado.” This is something I am certainly glad to do. I like the way it is worded in that tip. Boldness can represent intelligence in understanding what many fear that is actually not much of a risk. Boldness without this intelligence might be called carelessness.

There are no samurai horsemen going down my street, but they certainly are there in Japan.

And as Marian pointed out in her comment, such clothing doesn’t seem to wrinkle, so this extra spice in our lives would be pretty carefree, too.

Maybe we can all set aside one day in the week as 13th century finery day!

You may feel you are not handy with a bow and arrow, but you certainly demonstrate your finesse in what you do so well. Congratulations on your own outstanding effort, especially on publishing the fourth edition of The Life Skills Magazine.

You enjoy your weekend, too, under the drifting ash cloud.

P.S. Yes, I know, my guest post/article will be there at some point not too far off.
