Brought tears to my eyes – the words are so wonderful and the image is spectacular – do you sell any of your photographs, Robyn?
08/19/2012 at 23:15
Thank you so much Julie… sort of brought tears to mine writing it ~ and focussing on this little unknown angel-baby. You are more than welcome to original file of your favorite photos Julie…. have been asked several times about selling – but my head isn’t into the business of it right now… though would be honored if you would like any to have!!! Much Love sweet friend …. xxooo

what a beautiful comforting thought Robyn..i believe in what you wrote here..beautiful..nature is warm and so caring …something writen from heart never fails to touch another…it just caressed my soul and my eyes welled up…loved it and that pic is so beautiful and so apt….
08/20/2012 at 00:00
Thank you dearest Soma…. that is exactly how I felt about this image… yes – caressed the soul here too…. almost seemed like this child (who I witnessed over a month ago) was honoring the nature, the sea, the sand, the sky and knew it was all there just for her. I am so glad you enjoyed the post ~ much Love your way tonight… Robyn
08/20/2012 at 00:17
these are really beautiful words Robyn. And the picture… just perfect!
08/20/2012 at 00:51
Thank you so much poojy! So happy you enjoyed ~ yes the words just flowed after focussing on that image… Much Love!
08/20/2012 at 09:22
So very beautiful! You are so talented…always the best merging of photo and words. This was like a warm hug when you need a hug most. Making you feel safe and loved. Such a wonderful feeling…this piece just radiates with love, warmth, protection, well being. Beautifully, lovingly done sweet sweet friend ♥♥♥♥ !!!
08/20/2012 at 01:02
Thank you so much Christina. You are so generous with your love and kindness. Yes – agreed… that warm safe hug— one we all can tap into anytime we need it. So glad you enjoyed! And just came from your blog where I was so taken by your poem today http://reconstructingchristina.com/2012/08/20/evermore/… so genuine and honest – so you!!! As I said there – it reflects your hardship and loss – but is ever-so-hopeful and inspiring too. Loved the companion images too
xxoo Much Love dear friend ~ Always, R
08/20/2012 at 11:51
It was my honor and delight to collaborate with you on this Robyn!! I’m so very very happy that you liked the poem!! Your gorgeous photos inspired the entire piece. I just had so much fun putting it together and trying to merge our two styles. You are so very sweet and kind to give such generous praise!! This was a very healing piece for me…a HUGE piece of hope and building a new dream. Thank you so very MUCH for your kind, gentle, beautiful spirit!! And for continually inspiring me
You are so very cherished and loved dearest friend ♥♥♥♥ !!!!!!!
08/21/2012 at 02:15
That really warms my heart to know. Life is supposed to be fun!! You did a wonderful job with merging the 2 styles and the fact that it could be healing the best part of it all. I felt it too! Your spirit is awfully kind and gentle too Christina…so blessed to have met you through this blogging project. Sending lots of love and wishes that you remain inspired and uplifted. So grateful for all your loving support ~Much Love, Robyn
08/21/2012 at 20:32
Yes…a HUGE ditto to you sweet friend!! Your beautiful soul inspires me (and many others)!! Would love to do this again someday. Life is meant to be fun….just have so missed that for so long. It is AH-mazing to have it begin again.
So so very appreciative of you and your bright loving gentle inpirational spirit!! ♥♥♥♥!!!!
08/22/2012 at 00:49

You are soaring now ~ hope the world is ready for ya

08/22/2012 at 11:37
Words once again …picture perfect… always wondered where one could use that… (picture perfect) now I know… it goes with your blog… wonderful words so beautiful, and what a lovely photo… you are something very special in this world, and I’m glad that you’re here… hope your feeling a little better…
08/20/2012 at 02:08
Thank you so much dear Bulldog!! She is a cutie this little tot embracing the “sea in her” isn’t she!! Could not resist this shot – maybe took it a month ago and was waiting for the right words to flow… finally they did!! I am so glad you enjoyed — and so appreciative for your loving kindness always… I’m working on my ‘stuff’ — hoping for a breakthrough soon — Much Love and Gratitude ~ R
08/20/2012 at 11:54
Each of your photographs is a true work of art, every written word a sweet song of meaning, you Robyn never fail to move and inspire me my dearest friend!
08/20/2012 at 02:19
Awe – than you Penny — you are so kind and generous with your love and encouragement. I really never think of this as “art” — as I’ve said – seems more like “therapy” for me… but do love it when others can share and enjoy the product of that… and even better when it becomes “art” and inspiration. You are a doll Penny ~ so appreciate you. xxoo R
08/20/2012 at 11:56
Appreciation duly noted and returned with much love and affection, Robyn!
08/20/2012 at 13:45

08/20/2012 at 06:45
Thank you SOOO much Land Of Fun!! Glad you liked so much

08/20/2012 at 12:00
Such a beautiful thought, Robyn..my heart is moved to small young tears of remembrance even of the feeling. How you have tapped into a Truth of Love. Thank you for this special gift. I am very touched. All my love to you, Linda
08/20/2012 at 07:08
Yes me too Linda — to be able to tap into that feeling again — security and love that is pure and unconditional — the only love a baby really knows. I agree – a Truth we all have access to if we allow. Thank you so much for your loving words and kind heart always… much appreciate ~ With Love, R
08/20/2012 at 12:03
Such a sweet, sweet poem, my dear Robyn–it brought tears to my eyes. Nature does wrap around even the loneliest of children. So beautiful, my dear friend.
08/20/2012 at 07:39
Oh Angela, I’m so glad it touched you. I do think so too… very much unconditional love at its finest. Thank you so much dear friend ~ always appreciate you! ~RL
08/20/2012 at 12:04
This is beautiful…every word, a beautifully expressed sentiment and a deep truth. Bravo on this Robyn
08/20/2012 at 07:41
So thrilled you liked it boomie… had the image a while and really had to be patient to find the words that resonated for me. Very much appreciate your love and kind words here always ~ and so happy you were touched by this!! xxoo ps: My ‘big girl’ starts her first job today teaching in an underprivileged school district. She is in another state and wrote me last night that this was exactly what she needed to read before meeting her new little students today
08/20/2012 at 12:07
Awww, that makes it all the more special. I am sure she will do great, having such lovely words in her heart. This is beautiful
08/20/2012 at 12:47
Thanks dear one!
She was nervous, but I sense she will do amazing things with these lucky children. xo
08/20/2012 at 12:51
Beautiful Lullaby
each child / adult should read xo
love xx C
08/20/2012 at 07:50
Thanks so much sweet friend. Yes Cat – like a Lullaby — you may need to compose me some melody for this one
Teasing — but I do like your idea!! Also agree – all should read and ponder…. Much Love ~ we missed you all weekend and hope you had a good respite!! xo R
08/20/2012 at 12:09
i did i did
and now i just want more rest you know xoxoxoxoxoxo
08/20/2012 at 12:11
Oh so beautiful and full of peace……and I believe she continues to whisper those very words to us each and every day of our lives…..and we can hear if we truly listen with our hearts. Stunning poem and photo, Robyn……
love and hugs
Celeste
08/20/2012 at 10:55
YES Celeste – I too believe the whispers continue. Sometimes we get so bogged down in the external pulls, that the message gets muffled, – but as you said — if there is an open heart (which sometimes takes conscious effort) then we can hear. Really happy to know this touched you — and you enjoyed! Means a lot dear one! Thank you!! ~ xo R
08/20/2012 at 12:28
That was really nice. I love the photo too.
08/20/2012 at 11:07
So glad you enjoyed it Renee… yes – this sweet photo I took earlier in the summer, and the words flowed just last week. Thank you so much xxoo R
08/20/2012 at 12:29
gentle and caring words.. Happy to see you kept the horizon level in this photo .. May be this cute child needs this level start .. Time will surely shake and tilt his horizon many times to come …
08/20/2012 at 11:33
So insightful Tarek!! Thank you. Yes — you are so right — there is no doubt that this child will face those tilts and shakes as he progresses through life’s journey. Am glad I gave the image the level horizon too then, and hope it assures he will start off on solid ground…. strong foundation…. and have the tools to always come back to his center when those rocky roads approach. Sending love your way ~ R

08/20/2012 at 12:44
Personally i think she tried to drop me on my head a few times, but what you said works too
08/20/2012 at 12:20
I’m laughing wuzzman
You are right – in that sometimes, in retrospect, it does feel like we’ve been dropped on our head a few times….. but that is usually a product of faulty memory!! The trick is to be still enough to remember those loving arms – and feeling of peace and safety. They are always there for us if we are open. At least what I like to believe. Welcome — and thank you for the giggle this am!!
xo R
08/20/2012 at 12:33
no problem
08/20/2012 at 12:35
Yes, Robyn…such a wonderful reminder and this image and these words say it so simply….especially important to remember that when we’re facing challenges and the world seems to be at odds with us…thank you as always….xomeryl
08/20/2012 at 13:00
Thank you so much Meryl. Sometimes it really is that simple. I was staring at this image for quite a while and then these words came from nowhere – and just seemed soooo right at the time. As it turned out my “Big Girl” starts her official first day of teaching little ones in Miami’s most underprivileged school district today… she was a bit nervous and wrote me last night that this post was exactly what she needed to read before bed. Made me feel really good ~ xxoo Much Love Always ~ R
08/20/2012 at 13:57
That’s wonderful…so rewarding when the Universe works like that!
08/21/2012 at 13:19
Made me tear up too….and how badly I want to believe your words….yes, it is therapy isn’t it?
08/20/2012 at 14:02
Awe – Little L … yes I have to emphatically say YES it is. We all deserve to have the sense of security and love portrayed in this post. I do think we can tap into it with just a little focus and effort. Thank you so much for sharing your feelings… and hope this touched you in the best possible way. xo R
08/20/2012 at 14:22
Such beautiful thoughts Robyn ~ lovely
08/20/2012 at 19:02
Thank you so much Polly! So happy you were touched!! – I was by the vision of this baby! xo
08/20/2012 at 21:13
ohhhhhh….that’s so lovely and heartwarming! I love the tenderness of this poem.
08/20/2012 at 20:26
Thanks so much Fergiemento!! So happy you enjoyed! Appreciate !

08/20/2012 at 21:05
Thank you for letting me wake up to another brilliant post! Made my day.
08/20/2012 at 21:21
Oh Jill…. so happy you enjoyed this one! Thrilled it was a nice way to begin your day! Sending hugs ~ R
08/21/2012 at 20:34
Beautiful and sweet words, your genetic woman, mother and daughter make your thoughts tenderest bloom. The photography is beautiful, young children always have that unique and special magic.
Gracias una vez más mi amiga…
08/20/2012 at 23:01
Thank you dear Carlos– yes – I do agree that I must have that nurturing feminine gene thing going on here!! I can relate to the great “Mother Nature” too
So glad you liked the photography and feelings associated with this image. Gracias to you my friend!!
Robyn
08/21/2012 at 20:37
Your words gave me chills. So beautiful. Wonderful photo. Heartwarming and touching. thank you, sweet sea sis
xoxoxo hugs and love
08/21/2012 at 15:04
Thank you so much Sam
I am so happy this touched you so…. always appreciate you presence and love here… Sending lots of hugs and much love right back to you xo R
08/21/2012 at 20:38
Being that my childhood was quite traumatic at times I sometimes wonder… but your words just soothed my soul. Seriously, I felt such a comfort, joy, and peace reading this. Thank you!
08/21/2012 at 21:18
I do often wonder the same Angel. Where do the blessings and beauty of natural forces go wrong in our society? I truly believe if everyone embraced these simple truths there would be so much more peace and so much less hurt. Collective energies would be so powerful… I am very happy to hear the post brought you soothing comfort today, as I’d been hesitant about posting with exactly this in mind. I hoped it would provide a ‘peace’ and foster renewed faith for anyone who has experienced hurt and pain as a child – reminding them that there is a force so much larger than any human could ever be taking care of us…giving us strength and love. So much appreciate your letting me know this was your experience dear one… Much Love to you, Robyn
08/21/2012 at 22:06
Works for paternal too. Good one.
08/21/2012 at 22:25
Yes the urban, I agree — totally works for paternal as well as maternal. Thank you so much for your visit today ~ welcome! ~RL
08/22/2012 at 00:12
I am weeping reading these words, Robyn – you have no idea how much I needed to read this today … if you read my post from today, you will understand why … I love you, dear friend. ~ Julie xoxox
08/21/2012 at 23:55
Oh my goodness Julie – would you believe I am on your page this very moment – just finished – pressed the like button and then your notification on this comment just popped up! I’m wiping tears from my eyes – and wondering why some human parents go so off — why can’t they take the cues from the Divine – from Mother Nature — I will go back and comment now on your blog – but I am sending you big hugs and love – and as much comfort and peace as I can muster through cyberspace. You are loved ~ xxoo
08/21/2012 at 23:59
Somehow it doesn’t surprise me that you and I are reading each other’s pages at the exact same time … and thank you so much for the hugs and love … I really appreciate that right now. Would it be all right if I had a copy of this poem and photo to print out? I think I need to have them close to me for awhile …. xoxox
08/22/2012 at 00:04
Amazing that we tuned in at the same time – especially now. Of course, absolutely you may have the poem and I can send you an original file image of the photo if you’d like… I just wrote you a lengthy comment on your blog too. I hope you find comfort there as well. Yes keep them close and know you are loved and nurtured by something so much more powerful than any earthly parent could ever be. Know that, and you will find peace there. Promise! xxoo
08/22/2012 at 00:10
Thank you, dear friend, for your generosity. The photo is large enough for me to print, and I appreciate being able to print out your lovely poem to keep close as I begin this final chapter of healing. My heart is already feeling lighter with your words, and with all the love and caring from my friends. Sending you much love, and gentle healing energies your way also, dear Robyn. xoxox
08/22/2012 at 00:49
This is so moving. Gave me chills. Thank you for these heartfelt words.

08/22/2012 at 04:11
Thanks Renee — so happy it touched you as it did me when I spotted this little babe about a month or so ago when I was still visiting the beach. Sending Love ~ R
08/22/2012 at 14:15
Wonderfully spiritual, Robyn. Nature certainly does embrace us doesn’t it? And your message and the wonderful little child who is there to receive the love of mother nature…beautiful. Hope you are well tonight, Blessings, Erin
08/23/2012 at 23:31
Yes – I agree Erin… and thank you so much dear one!! So glad you enjoyed xo
