Rob Greenfield Instagram – I am still swimming in the cold waters of Lake Superior as well as the rivers and creeks that flow into Gichigami. Water temperatures are around freezing.
It has been a mild winter here, frozen water, frozen Earth, and some snow has come, but has mostly been gone.
I have managed to walk barefoot at least a bit on most days and have stayed connected to Earth by walking with my feet insulated and separated from Earth only by wool for most of my walks. Over the month of December, I began to see my feet really softening up and my soles thinning. I will rebuild the strength in the early spring.
These cold immersions are one of my greatest medicines. These swims are one of the greatest cures and preventative medicines I know for depression and sadness, which I have experienced on a handful of days this winter.
I am grateful to able to maintain my connection to Earth even in more difficult weather conditions.
I have made substantial progress on my writing, my Food Freedom book and on bringing everything in my life and my service to Earth and humanity into integrity. There is much more work to be done, but I am feeling more whole and complete than ever.
My 10 day silent meditation – Vipassana – was everything I hoped for and my equanimity is deepening. I will share on this in a future post.
I will return from my homeland of Lake Superior to the land I currently call home in the Appalachian Mountains (Asheville, North Carolina) in mid-January and after 2-6 weeks there I will head to Los Angeles for my next activism campaign, which I will share with you in January. I will likely not be on social media much in January as I continue to write and deepen my integrity.
I am sending love and peace to each of you and holding you in my heart.
Love,
