Not...thanks Fush, yes, longing is the word I guess. Not that I wanna go back to that, but I do have those moments, wondering "who was that?" she was quite interesting.<BR/><BR/>But Reya you are absolutely right (as usual) - there are certainly degrees of wildness, and I do not miss that aspect of things, the aspect I'll call the tequila swill. Its more a case of feeling tamed and urbanised and a little more cautious than I used to remember myself. I'm glad you don't pick up that I'm domesticated, but I guess there's a bit more context that you'd need to know. Perhaps one day we'll discuss it over a cup of tea.<BR/><BR/>Lori, yes, I keep hearing the wise words of Chief Seattle. "Without the great beasts man will die of a terrible loneliness of spirit."<BR/><BR/>And Val and Geli, thanks both of you. I'm glad it resonated wth you.<BR/><BR/>I guess I'm just homesick, really!tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01112433561328525664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6840208411822507230.post-6976350543467091392008-11-15T09:20:00.000+02:002008-11-15T09:20:00.000+02:00Great, wistful, longing post tam.Like Billie said,...Great, wistful, longing post tam.<BR/><BR/>Like Billie said, it makes you wonder how much of the old self is left behind, after the rigours of adulthood.timothymarcjoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02169394544759910100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6840208411822507230.post-4909809888510974152008-11-15T00:59:00.000+02:002008-11-15T00:59:00.000+02:00There are levels of wildness, aren't there? Never ...There are levels of wildness, aren't there? Never ever do I read "domesticated" in your energy field. Calm(er) maybe than once upon a time.<BR/><BR/>I, too, had my era of the red dress. They called me Ruby back then. I was truly wild. I remember coming to work one morning after a party night, groggy and unclear about all that had transpired. My boss, of all people said, "Wow Ruby, you're really strong."<BR/><BR/>To this day I have no clue what he was referring to.<BR/><BR/>As for myself (but remember I'm 55 years old) I'm happy to put away my red dress. It was traumatic and exhausting to always be so wild.<BR/><BR/>That said, there is a wildness and a wilderness inside me that will never be conquered. It can't be.<BR/><BR/>The same is true for you. There's no shame in growing up, in evolving. You are truly AWESOME in every sense of the word.<BR/><BR/>Sending a kiss through the mirror to you and your incredible wildness. Oh yeah!Reya Mellickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076092659507965666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6840208411822507230.post-28047097740842038912008-11-14T22:44:00.000+02:002008-11-14T22:44:00.000+02:00Wonderful read! really startling and sharp and jus...Wonderful read! really startling and sharp and just...wonderful!

Without the wild places,open spaces, we lose so much more than just these things, we lose ourselves too. I think more and more people are waking up to the fact that we need to protect,not destroy the wild places.I think it starts with education and grassroots efforts can and do make changes for the better. I love your post, for your words,your passion, and yes please do send this letter out into the world. xxLori annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02860428306713379828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6840208411822507230.post-74411338530254203512008-11-14T15:41:00.000+02:002008-11-14T15:41:00.000+02:00Ikeep re reading this - just fabulous! xxIkeep re reading this - just fabulous! xxValhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16060531713032236270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6840208411822507230.post-33009043456761378892008-11-14T15:23:00.000+02:002008-11-14T15:23:00.000+02:00Forgot the word "add", but you understand me I kno...Forgot the word "add", but you understand me I know.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06484336744673299416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6840208411822507230.post-60599345988971693492008-11-14T15:22:00.000+02:002008-11-14T15:22:00.000+02:00Tam, YES, PUBLISH THIS FOR GOD`s SAKE!
