"
THERE IS A tame and also a wild side to the human mind. The tame side, like a farmer’s field, has been disciplined and cultivated to produce a desired yield. It is useful, but limited. The wild side is larger, deeper, more complex, and though it cannot be fully known, it can be explored . . . The “poetic imagination” of which William Blake so eloquently spoke is the territory of wild mind. It has landscapes and creatures within it that will surprise us; it can refresh us and scare us. It reflects the larger truth of our ancient selves, both animal and spiritual."


((winter solstice. imbolc. ways of observing the outside inside.))

in the tradition of voice and nature
and of speaking the mute
and of celebrating the intricate, expansive form

((( and until the silent within ourselves is given voice.

<<summer solstice.
