just some thoughts.....

  i just finished the "re-wild" your life 30 day challenge..... 
i thought alot about the whole thing
  i get the whole idea behind it....
that folks have grown away from nature...
from the natural world....
   that lives have become sedentary, stuck in office spaces, traffic commutes & focused on the todos of social status & 'civilization' & the 'material world'...... 
  that taking/making the time to get back in touch with earth, our first mother, to be present & real in the surroundings of the environment of nature; is no always a priority to some folks....altho it comes so easy to others.
  it is odd to me that folks should require reminding to do this on a daily basis...  course we each have our own path & rhythm.... i get that too....  
  for me personally, being out in nature is a daily thing...
it is part & parcel of who i am & what i do....
i have experienced the busyness of life, with the traffic, shopping malls,& office spaces.... i know what i prefer!!!
i am deeply aware of this, & deeply grateful to experience nature the way i do in my life.
i know how uncomfortable i am in large groups of people, or in the city....
or in congested traffic.... tis no my thing.... no my comfort zone at all!!!
i know the peace calm & contentment i experience with-in when i am in the woods.... i feel the clear connection to earth.... i feel the balance & the harmony.
it is sad to me when i consider how many folks never take the time to be in nature....    
   i found the below quote... i do like the idea of it...
i have considered the terms/words wild & tame.... 
i find the word "tame"  does no flow for me, in regards to the woods, & nature & the creatures who dwell there.... i looked up the definition of tame>>>>>

Brought from wildness into a domesticated or tractable state.
Naturally unafraid; not timid.
Submissive; docile; fawning.
tame obedience.
To make tame; domesticate.
 tame a wild horse.
To subdue or curb.
tamed his explosive anger.
To change from an uncontrolled or disorderly to a controlled state.

seems to be about control.... personally i have issues with being controlled....
so  for me ....
i would rather nature be herself fully & completely...NATURALLY~~
following the natural cycles & rhythms .....
  is that 'wild' ???  i suppose at times she can be....
can nature be managed & assisted... of course...
nature tamed???.... well perhaps that is the landscapes around our homes & towns....
perhaps earth; mother earth/ nature.... is simply experienced....on whatever level we meet her at.... for me it will always be with honor, love & respect!
she is most accepting,giving & forgiving & loving...& for this i will always be full of gratitude!!!


We did not think of the great open plains, the beautiful rolling hills, the winding streams with tangled growth, as ‘wild’. Only to the white man was nature a ‘wilderness’ and only to him was it ‘infested’ with ‘wild’ animals and ‘savage’ people. To us it was tame. Earth was bountiful and we were surrounded with the blessings of the Great Mystery.
