So much to love here. So much to share. The wild world is the real world, yes.

A beautiful, powerful piece of writing!! Each word carefully chosen so one finds themselves woven into the very fabric of your story. I am certainly well past the “wild woman”days, but can relate well to that pesky weed that rises through that crack in the sidewalk!

Jenny--so awesome! i'm taking a small carpool to a rally/protest tomorrow, standing up for wild lands in the Greater Yellowstone and across Turtle Island. We've had a denning pair of coyotes this year but they've stayed pretty quiet, except when asking if my big dog can go out to play. What? Yup.

Your writing causes a chaos to well up in my chest and break out of my throat in a holy howl. Thanks for raising your voice, and calling the rest of us into warrior song!

You’ve captured the wild inside all of us. Too bad too few are aware of its presence.
