''DEATH PUSHED ME TO THE EDGE. NOWHERE TO BACK OFF.AND TO SHAME MY FEARS,I DANCED WITH ABANDON IN HIS FACE.I NEVER DANCED AS FREE.
AND DEATH BACKED OFF, THE WAY DARK BACKS OFF A SUDDEN BURST OF FLAME. NOW THERE'S NOTHING LEFT BUT TO KEEP DANCING.IT IS THE WAY I WOULD HAVE CHOSEN
HAD I BEEN BORN THREE TIMES AS BRAVE''

That was magic............ absolute magic..... dam it I feel so outdone...... I forget to write my spells down and when i choose to wave my wand sometimes the magic is gone.... let me bask in that again... a soul lingering at the edge of the cliff,, questions that will never be answered, frozen on the cliffs edge , not fearing the fall, but fearing to turn around and take a step , not fearing the cold winds and dark and heavy skies hovering at cliffs edge, but fearing the sunshine and the light should I turn and take that step.... for on that cliffs edge i see you clearly, where your soul once lingered, I know I am not alone......

Hey, tnx 4 sharing! :) BUT, may i remind/inform you that you were that burst of flame All Along, and you DID dispel the dark from mmmillions of us, at least for as long as we were ecstatically blinded by the boldness of your presence on stage (:!:) And really, the braveness of your honesty about yr own journey has so far been many-fold the average celebrity/parent/friend/self, so... yes, yr epiphany is truly worth celebrating but in the end, it's all relative y'know... Oh, and while my goblet is up there, may i toast to your outrageously high aquarian standards for self-coherence and yr insistence on pulling us all up there :D Now stop grinning and go back to work, dangit!

Ah, but with death also comes 'The Light'...God's Light. You are 3 times as brave as you thought you weren't Robert. Love and Light, and all that...

Great words. They really touched me. My dad passed away three month ago. It was a sudden and unexpected death - so I´m really at the edge at the moment, nowhere to back off. I try to keep on dancing and I hope one day I can dance again. Love Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

Mark Nepo says: "Having the life you want to live this life you have!" You are capable, Robbie? I do not believe that the life we ​​live, we want to be just like us! You are happy? I mean really happy! In fact all the popularity, it leaves you a little unhappy? Depressed? "I Never Danced AS FREE": true, nobody ever dance, really with freedom! KEEP DANCING ROB EMANUELA AND ROBERTA XXXX

I'm on a beach in Brazil and I can see through the window a landscape quite similar to that you show in this picture above. The sun shining, this sky so blue and this wonderful sea... I wonder if the sea is the same sea... "It all seems so familiar..." Hugs

Robbie!!!! I love the dog video. I laughed out loud and showed it to the whole family. Everyone smiled. When I hear your music (every day!) or see you on a dvd or on a picture or on stage (wow!) you always put a big smile on my face. Thanks Robbie. Always your friend, xxxxx Liesbeth.

Srdce ve strání si slzí, kdy je pozdě a kdy je brzy, hlídá ho snad tisíc andělů na špičce nosu, střevíc je jim postelí. Modlím se za zázraky pro všechny trpící cizí vinou!! š.l.

Hey Robert! Looks like you are somewhere nice and warm?! NICE!! One can only dream of this for the moment :-( Funny picture in one way since the palmtree behind you looks a little bit like a crown: do you see it? ;-) Loved the text you wrote: I hope it will inspire other friendlies that are searching for certain values in life. Loved the dog!!! Bye the way: last week I was packing stuff from work since our office has moved to another city. And a funny thing happened: there were some Time magazine's lying arround and I was putting them aside to throw them out and you know who turned up on the cover of one of them: you. Message/lesson to be read/learned from this; there is always some kind of sign from you for the friendlies! So thanks for that! :-) hahahaha Enjoy your holidays (if you and Ayda are still there??)! Big hug! Stiena Xxx

Still loving the dog video... I even put it up on my own blog :) It's just way too cute! Have you ever considered getting a Golden Retriever yourself, Rob? I can only recommend that breed... Got one myself... He's the worlds best dog... couldn't wish for a better fury friend! ;) Thanks again, Rob! Love ya xxxx - -------------------------------------------------------------- ========== +1 FOR SONG BREAKDOWNS @ RR ! ============ === LIKE ! =============================== LIKE ! ===

Thank you for introducing me to Mark Nepo with this quote, Robbie. Now I will endeavour to put my pain into a lake rather than a glass. His interview with Oprah was very enlightening and his words are certainly worth contemplating.

Hola Rob,¿porque la mitad de tu cara ?,es tan lindo verte,pero de esta manera....,hubieras sacado tu cabeza y al menos podriamos ver esa hermosa playa detras de ti,tu eres tan encantador,tan buen mozo , por favor ,no hagas esto ,no es agradable ,ver la mitad de una persona. yo estoy muy feliz esperando tu proximo album,y se que va a ser el mejor ,porque tu eres unico,no hay nadie que pueda superar a ti en escenario,como cantante ,con tu personalidad ,carisma que hacen a ti unico. Un beso grande donde a ti mas te guste ,de Argentina ,te amo.

Loving the awkward look in the dogs eyes when the music stops - he almost looks suspicious!

LinzB's picture

Ha ha ha! :'D This is a TOP golden retriever: smiling and dancing only when the music is on! I wonder why my dog ubaldo NEVER smiles or dances (he simply RUNS AWAY) when I play MY guitar... is it 'cause I'm not good enough? The answer to this question is up to you, my dear friendlies. "THERE'S NOTHING LEFT BUT TO KEEP DANCING". Dear Rob, you can always read my mind. I'm living through difficult times. I'm worried about so many things. I always try to smile, blow my fears away and go on but, sometimes, I just can't do it. Do you ever feel alone, lonely, even though you are in a crowded place and many people are there for you because they love you? I feel this way, sometimes. It's not easy to be alive but you are completely right: we must keep dancing and believe in what we have got. I've got my mum, I've got my friends, I've got my dog and I've got you and your music (keep dancing, Rob). As you can see, my heart is full of love and beautiful things so, maybe, I'll be brave enough to dance along... won't I? I love you. Thank you. *MARG FROM MARS*

Hey dear, dear Rob, I meant to post a few days ago, but just didn't get round to it... - After your 'Happy New Year' blog, I questioned what if I didn't know what I wanted 2012 to bring and what if my choices were so bad that there was no happy to follow? Pretty negative response I know, but life really isn't too good... - Well, I think with your quote above you have inadvertantly answered my questions. I've taken from this that it doesn't matter how bad things get, I can still make the choice to let my spirit dance. I get that, its just a change of mindset. Probably easier said than done, but I'm giving it my best shot. - So, thanks for the life tip, Rob. Wishing you all the best, and much love xxx
