If you think that the solution is outside of yourself, but the problem is inside of yourself, then you are living an illusion. The fact is that every problem is in your mind, and so is every solution. ~Dr. WWDyer

WILDERNESS

There is a wolf in me. . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes. . . a red tongue for raw meat. . . and the hot lapping of blood- I keep the wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me. . .  a silver-gray fox. . . I sniff and guess. . . I pick things out of the wind and air. . . I nose in the dark night. . . take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers. . . I circle a loop and double-cross.

There is hog in me. . . a snout and a belly. . . a machinery for eating and grunting. . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun- I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me. . . I know I came from salt-blue watergates. . . I scurried with shoals of herring. . . I blew water-spouts with porpoises. . . before land was. . . before the water went down. . . before Noah. . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me. . . clambering-clawed. . . dog-faced. . . yawping a galoot's hunger. . . hairy under the armpits. . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men. . . here are the blond and blue-eyed women. . . here they hide curled asleep waiting. . . ready to snarl and kill. . . ready to sing and give milk. . . waiting- I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird. . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want. . .  and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothill of my wishes- And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart- and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to Goes-Knows-Where- For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal to the world: I came from the wilderness. ~Carl Sandburg
