Live Juicy! — ReWilding the Self #7
Life is short. Break the rules, forgive quickly,
kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably…

On this Memorial Day weekend, ReWild your Self! Be a memorial to your own innate wholeness and to the Earth. Choose to listen to the song of your own plasticina. Notice where you place your attention, and how you attend to your own self-care. Love yourself. It is the most radical political and spiritual act of our time.
It is by understanding both the positive and negative effects of (neuro)plasticity that we can truly understand the extent of human possibilities.
Yes, this rewilding of the self requires the unflinching courage to open our eyes and hearts to what is. This is the time we live in. And it is the time of our awakening; the time for offering our gifts to the world,
Rewilding one’s self is coming to know one’s own body as the Earth’s body, and to again identify Earth as one’s own body as well. It is to again become indigenuous the cosmos, the Earth, and to the place of your local living.
The essential movement of rewilding the self is the turning toward Life, what I have come to call biotropism. This is no small feat of orienteering…
The nails of my fingers
leave claw marks
in the soil of life
from my clinging on
to what is familiar
and comfortable and no longer
serves that which is awakening
