  1. I think, sometimes, that writing is a kind of ritual; that one must take up their pen or sit down at their keyboard and summon the wild thing that lives inside them; their child self, immortal and undying, to whom all music is passion, all stories are true, and all patterns are magic.

    a summoning of the self

    where is the little girl
    with mud on her face
    feathers in her hair
    and a necklace made of flowers
    o' wild thing, I call to you
    it's time for songs and stories

    where is the little girl
    who speaks with the storms
    and holds counsel with cats
    while the cicadas sing
    o' wild thing, I call to you
    it is time to come forth

    where is the little girl
    who was left behind
    the one who lives
    in the wilds within
    o' wild thing, I call to you
    and make my hands yours
