Creating Recovery

Groomed for Wildness

You’re a wild thing, don’t you know…

an unspoiled, spirited blossom on the edge.

Within each of us there is a need to push boundaries, to be daring and free, to answer the call of the wild. Some of us, however, have learned that our wildness can lead to trouble, and have turned a deaf ear.

You’ve experienced the volatile, painful side of life. Let your experiences deepen your sensibilities; make you more conscientious and compassionate. Don’t allow them to destroy your passionate nature.

As you strive to create order, cultivate the willingness to risk messes. You are both cultivated and wild. Created and creative. Ordinary and exceptional. You have a right and an obligation to be all that you are.

“For a person to live authentically, her wildness must be harnessed and managed by her tameness but her tameness must be confronted and displaced by her wildness…Wildness is the heat, tameness is the thermostat… A wild person with a calm mind can make anything…”

~Eric Maisel, Fearless Creating

I am a calm, rational, responsible being. I’m also wild, unspoiled and spirited.

I am nurtured. I am natural. I am free.
