85. Your beautiful wild side

We all have it.

You are the amalgamation of all your experiences to date. No matter what you have gone through in your life, there is a part of you that remains wild. Society tells you to tether it back — “it’s not appropriate”.

It’s the part of you that wants to do a run up in a studio and leap… and then fall ungracefully. It’s the part of you that wants to yell at the top of your lungs and listen to the echo. It’s the part of you that wants to reach out to strangers and tell them that everything will be OK.

We’re led to think that the wild side is insane — as if we have an objective idea of what insanity is. One definition of insanity is:

Doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results.

In some sense then, the wild side is true sanity.
