Wildly and Dangerously Free

Will start with a quote from one of my favourite authors that sums up how I see the world from this vantage point, this age, this piece of ground that I currently have the privilege of occupying.

“It is a strange and wonderful fact to be here, walking around in a body, to have a whole world within you and a world at your fingertips outside you. It is an immense privilege, and it is incredible that humans manage to forget the miracle of being here. Rilke said, ‘Being here is so much,’ and it is uncanny how social reality can deaden and numb us so that the mystical wonder of our lives goes totally unnoticed. We are here. We are wildly and dangerously free.”

John O’Donohue    Anam Cara

Will share stories, photographs and quotes that wake me up and help access the part in myself that is ‘wildly and dangerously free’ ….. just trust, see where it leads.

A story or poem follows me around for a while, I write it down to get it out of my head and sometimes after rereading it seems universal enough that I hope it might also speak to someone else. One thing that has become clear is the photography and the writing seem to be morphing into one, the photograph being the muse for the words or the words for the photograph.....and then a quote I find from someone who had the talent to put what I am trying to say into a few precise sentences.

    1. Thank you Lance, it was my first post and rereading it after your comment gave me the opportunity to rethink why I began to share.
      It has been such a privilege to not just read what others have written and grow from that but to hear what I began to call ” the collective human howl” to feel, hear and share what felt so collective, it all coming from one place but through different voices. We are indeed all “wildly and dangerously free”:)
