Creating an Environmental Sanctuary with a Soundscape of bird song – Richard Robbins #24

Project Island Song is a charitable organisation restoring the natural eco system and reintroducing wildlife to the Eastern Bay of Islands known as Ipipiri. I talked to Richard Robbins about the nature of the work involved and what it takes to realise their long-term vision of a safe, self-sustaining environment filled with tweets, twitters, trills and whistles of native birdlife.

He extends Aristotle’s counsel to look deep into nature to find the answers – advising us to  ‘listen deeply to nature in order to hear the symphony of sounds that sustain harmony and health for people and the planet.

On Children – Kahlil Gibran

Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.

They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,

For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.

The Tao of Pooh and the Te of Piglet

https://www.bookdepository.com/The-Tao-of-Pooh---The-Te-of-Piglet/9781405293778

Extract about enjoying the process from ‘The Tao of Pooh and the Ti of Piglet’

“What do you like doing best in the world, Pooh?”

“Well, said Pooh, what I like best …” – and then he had to stop and think because although eating honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn’t know what it was called.

The honey doesn’t taste so good once it is being eaten: the goal doesn’t mean so much once it’s reached, the reward is not so rewarding once it has been given. If we add up all the rewards in our lives we won’t have very much. But – if we add up the spaces between the rewards, we’ll come up with quite a bit. And if we add up the rewards and the spaces, then we’ll have everything – every minute of the time that we spent. What if we could enjoy it?

It doesn’t mean that the goals we have don’t count. They do, mostly because they cause us to go through the process and it’s the process that makes us wise, happy or whatever. If we do things in the wrong sort of way, it makes us miserable, angry, confused and things like that. The goal has to be right for us and it has to be beneficial in order to ensure a beneficial process. But aside from that, it’s really the process that’s important. Enjoyment of the process is the secret that erases the myths of the Great Reward and saving time.

What could we call that moment before we begin to eat the honey: Some would call it anticipation, but we think it’s more than that. We would call it awareness. It’s when we become happy and realise it - if only for an instant. By enjoying the process, we can stretch that awareness out so that it’s no longer only a moment, but covers the whole thing.

Spike Milligan ‘Smile’ poem:

Smiling is infectious, you catch it like the flu,

When someone smiled at me today, I started smiling too.

I passed around the corner and someone saw my grin.

When he smiled I realised I'd passed it on to him.

I thought about that smile, then I realised its worth.

A single smile, just like mine could travel round the earth.

So, if you feel a smile begin, don't leave it undetected.

Let's start an epidemic quick, and get the world infected!

Feel free to be the truest version of yourself - Franko Heke #11

Musician and founder of the NZ Spirit Festival, Franko Heke shares how he's transitioned from feeling like a misfit, grappling with suicidal thoughts and carrying the burden of societal labels into becoming a man who feels liberated because he's learned to love and respect himself. His story will undoubtedly help you find the strength and courage to let go of the idea of who you think you should be so you can be proud of who you really are and take a stand for what you believe in – which ultimately needs to be yourself.

Humanship - How Horses Empower Humans.- Ian Benson #8

Ian Benson facilitates ‘humanship’ workshops in NZ and Europe.

Horses have shown him how human behaviour affects them in different ways, and that when we are more connected to ourselves, we can build a better relationship with the world around us. Experiential learning with horses empowers the individual to take responsibility for effecting the change they want to see as opposed to feeling victimised by what’s happening to them.

 

Ian's Website: http://www.humanship.co.nz/

 

Check out my blog ‘A Quest to Connect’ where you’ll see a photo of how horses mirror human behaviour

Quote:

“It’ll all work out in the end and if it doesn’t, we haven’t reached the end”

The actual quote Ian was referring to was

“In India, we have a saying; everything will be all right in the end. So, if it’s not all right, it is not yet the end,” said by the character Sonny Kapoor in The Best Marigold Hotel movie

The Secret Intelligence of Water - Veda Austin #5

Veda’s revolutionary work combines art and science to reveal the secret intelligence of water.

She discovered the healing powers of water and in the process reconnected to her own divinity - expanding her artists skills into becoming a Water Researcher and Crystallographer. She’s a vibrant soul who describes water as a conscious life force that has the wisdom and intelligence to help us connect to ourselves and the world around us.

 

Veda’s website:  www.vedaaustin.com

Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/waterresearcher

Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vedaaustin_water/

During our conversation, Veda made reference to a number of people, so I’ve noted their names and links to websites.

Let it be Me – Nina Simone

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcnM29Fm0kc

Quotes:

"Even at your best, you’ll never be enough for the wrong person.

Even at your worst, you’ll always be enough for the right person"

 

"If you think you can or you think you can’t – you’re right"

 

The one thing Veda would like to create in the world is for people to see the divinity within themselves because we get so caught up in what’s wrong with us, we forget about what’s right with us
