The Wilderness

“Why wilderness?

Because we like the taste of freedom;

because we like the smell of danger.”

Edward Abbey

We walk forwards…
through and towards,
the haze and mystery
of our undetermined futures’.

Obstacles
of the past,
and
STILL,
the present;
veering the route.

These hurdles
stimulate
our self protective natures’.

Avoidance and denial…
possessing our being,
yet
asking us,
to dare and risk
facing our own truths
and
contradictions.

We can attempt to
forestall,
evade,
conceal,
or RUN
to escape.

Still,
the wilderness
calls out…
prompting our
id,
ego,
super-ego, and
our cosmology,
to ANSWER.

This territory
is the
exclusive and
private wilderness,
of each and every
INDIVIDUAL.

It is
asking,
inducing, and
triggering
the frontier
of our own creation,
to be
AWAKENED.
