The above quote came to me in a dream last night.
I know doesn't make sense sometimes that i consider myself wild, since i'm home 90% of the time and I don't get drunk and 'show my tits' or spend any time in the forest at all (though i would like to, if we had one - we will be building a small fruit tree forest in our back yard over the course of the next few years, however). My wildness comes with my determination set years ago for full authenticity. i set out to know who I AM, to realize what was my purpose in life, to know myself thoroughly so that i would not waste a single moment giving energy to things that were not part of my path. it has been surprising, therefore, to find what IS part of my path, which is what life is like: you may be co-creating your reality but you will get surprises nonetheless!
My idea of a wild woman is the woman who loves her role as a domestic goddess only to the point where she is FREE to reign as Queen of Creation. ALL aspects of nurturing are creative. ALL aspects of energy clearing are creative. the Wild woman's role is to be present in the moment and respond as Spirit directs. NOT answering to any man, woman or child. Not being irreverent, either. Just wild.
I DO WHAT I WANT is a pretty common motto of a wild woman. but a Self-realized wild woman says so with humility and gratitude, and what she usually does want to do is to nurture, within the realm of boundless creativity. In the case of nursing a baby, I did take orders from my son and did so with ecstatic joy of purpose-fulfilling resolve and surrender.
Most of us are taught to know what we want, ask for it, get it and then complain. Not the wild woman - she has cultivated an attitude of innocent perception, of childlike faith in simplicity. all things are God. All things are gift from the Goddess. We are excited to discover sometimes that the way we thought our prayers would be answered is not at all how they are being answered - its going to be way better, beyond imagination!
I truly believe in imagination. I imagined in my dream last night how I might be remembered, as an Empowered Woman. I knew which qualities i wanted to exemplify and inspire in others. I AM all about the Spiritual Midwifery. There is nothing more ecstatically fulfilling to me than to be able to offer support to someone who is processing something out, or trying to process something within.
I must make a recommendation for my readers who've enjoyed this rant even just a little. I bow down to my personal hero on this subject (and many others), my Sister Goddess, Anastasia, who lives in the Siberian Taiga forest in Russia, raising her children in the wild. Her book series is called The Ringing Cedars of Russia and she expounds on philosophy of co-creation, grounding / connecting with Earth, gardening, bee-keeping, parenting, childrens' education, communing as Family. There is great value in what she teaches, and our book will contain several quotes by her i am sure. http://www.ringingcedars.com/
