\nWe've all selected parts of us that we present to the world, while other perhaps wilder parts of us have been pushed to the margins, as a strategy we chose earlier in our lives so we could belong, or be safe. In our adulthood, though, there's an opportunity for those precious exiled parts - with their many gifts - to be returned to our lives. They can do this with our own help, when we discover our own capacity, love and courage - and with the help of others who are generous, brave and loving enough to see beyond the 'stall of goods' we've laid out for the world so far.

\nHere's to Wildness

\nI am the jelly wrestler.\nPeeking out from my everyday way of being,\nThis part that I put away long ago for fear of it taking over.\xa0\nIt did take over once. And I was too small to handle it.\xa0\nAnd now I\u2019m stronger, more grounded, more me.\nIt\u2019s asking to come back again.\nAnd here I am present and ready.\nSo tentative, the thought of it is embarrassing.\xa0\nFrightening even.\xa0\nAnd somehow others can see this in me.\xa0\nAnd are asking it forth.\xa0\nAnd I\u2019m willing to let it have a voice.\xa0\nLet it take action.\xa0\nI can feel it\u2019s gifted. Gifts to be given.\xa0\nTo me. To others. To life.\xa0\nAnd turning towards it might be shameful.\xa0\nI wonder if I can bare it.\xa0\nWhat help do I need ?\xa0\nWhat would make it safe enough ?\nWelcome Jelly Wrestler. I\u2019m here and I can handle you.\xa0\nHere\u2019s to wildness. Freedom and more of me.\xa0\n\n
