In Wildness, Truth. In Wildness, Life…

From an essay by Jay Griffiths in Drunken Boat:

What is wild cannot be bought or sold, borrowed or copied.  It is
Unmistakable, unforgettable, unshameable, elemental as earth and water
and fire.  Don’t waste your wildness: it is precious and necessary.  In
wildness, truth.  In wildness, life.  And, for the human spirit as for
any other wild creature, wildness smoulders in the groin, thighs
slippery with juice.  Proud, anarchic, the raw core of our human spirit
is still untamed, eloquent, complex, kinetic and fleetly wild.
