DOGGED WANDERINGS...

Happy Valentines & Happy Friendship Day

If this were a song, which is isn't, I'd say... I'd like to dedicate this to everyone I know...

Since I read Rick Bass' novel of the wilderness Wild to the Heart many years ago, I have fallen in love with this passage. Some friends may recall me scribbling these few lines on napkins or scrap sheets of paper at odd times:

"If it’s wild to your own heart, protect it. Preserve it. Love it.
And fight for it, and dedicate yourself to it...
It doesn’t matter if it’s wild to anyone else:
if it’s what makes your heart sing,
if it’s what makes your days soar like a hawk in the summertime,
then focus on it.
Because for sure, it’s wild,
and if it’s wild, it’ll mean you’re still free.
No matter where you are."

May you find inspiration in its simple wisdom. All of us have a wild fluttering within... it may be hidden in the furthest corners of our minds, but it is there. There must be something that is "wild to everyone's heart"... an experience... a truth... a feeling... a thought. Find it, and love it... and stay happy mates. :)
