Rob Greenfield Instagram – I’m going for a walk.
Why?
I just feel like walking.
For as long as I can remember I have been drawn to the idea of taking a long walk. The time has come…
The journey will begin at the Canada/US border in Washington and I’ll make my way down the Pacific coast to Los Angeles, 1,700 miles along the Pacific Coast Highway and other roads.
I’ll live simply… Walk. Breathe. Be with Earth. Sleep outside. Rest and stretch my body. Harvest food and medicine from the land. Drink water. Swim in the Pacific Ocean, lakes and rivers. Read books. Think.
I’ll spend time and talk with people who I meet along the path and who come to walk with me, practicing compassionate communication with each interaction. I’ll share my message through writing, speaking and being.
Unlike my last ten plus years of activism and adventures I have no outward mission. This is for me.
To… Slow down. Simplify. Be mindfully in the present moment. Deepen my gratitude for life. Fall in love with everything. Foster interconnectedness to all. Gain clarity and focus. Focus on peace within. Further my wholeness and completeness within.
With each day, I’ll shed more of the past and walk into the present.
I am letting go of so much. I am letting go of attachment to outcome, even thought of outcome.
Although this walk is for me, the journey is part of the big picture. I have inner work to do to bring myself into higher truth and integrity and hone in my service to Earth, Humanity and the plants and animals we share this home with. I believe that this inner work and self-care is inherent to be the public servant I aim to be.
Time with Earth will abound, but so will time with people. I’m not walking on a trail through the wilderness, but rather on the roads and highways through many towns and cities.
I will continuously share updates of my whereabouts and my planned route so that I can be found by those who want to find me. I invite you to walk with me, or come sit with me wherever I’m making home for the evening.
