Rob Greenfield Instagram – Hello from my quiet little log cabin in wintery Wisconsin!
Since I last wrote to you 3 weeks ago, I have spent 130 hours at this table writing by the fire.
I have written and updated 43 articles on my website, many of which I’ve been wanting to publish for over 5 years. Most of these are foundational to my service that I will continue sharing and referencing for decades ahead. Many of these articles dive deep into the philosophy that drives my pursuit of truth and integrity. In many ways my life is my message and over the last few years I was so focused on my community programs and managing a team that I fell very behind on my writing. It has been healing to share many of these words publicly.
My time at the cabin has been incredibly productive and is contributing to a solid foundation for my life of service. Besides the 130 hours of writing, I have spent another 30 hours at the community center working bringing everything I do into integrity.
All the while I have been swimming in the cold waters of Lake Superior and the little creeks that pass through the forest near the cabin. I’ve been eating the bounty from Earth that I harvested this summer and fall. I’ve had more days of silence and solitude, spent the least time on the internet and I’ve been resting more than almost any other chapter of my life. I have awoken before sunrise nearly every day. I have felt very whole and complete within and this time alone is proving to be important in my personal development.
I have much to be grateful for and on most days I recite this gratitude whether on paper on my days of silence or out loud on my bike rides or walks. The writing of Wangari Maathai, Michelle Alexander (The New Jim Crow), Nelson Mandela, the Dalai Lama and Mahatma Gandhi has continued my education and inspired my service.
This week I will take a break from nearly everything in life for 10 days of silence through Vipassana meditation. I will focus solely on coming into a deeper state of integrity with the aim to be of highest service to Earth and humanity. I will share about this the morning before the retreat begins.
Upon my return I will spend 3 weeks completing my Food Freedom book.
Love,
