Growing Wild

Most of us want to live in a world that is ordered and structured…it gives us a sense of security and stability. We have by-laws that limit the height and built-in square footage of our homes. We have roadways, highways, towns and cities that are marked out clearly.
Yet, in this human construct, we yearn for those things that are wild…unfettered and free.
There’s a sense of freedom, a feeling of peace, a joyful celebration of life when one connects with this other aspect of life…
To see a world in a Grain of sand,
And a heaven in a Wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.

William Blake
