Wild Love

“Let your love be disgraceful, crazy and wild. If you’re too holy and careful God will escape you!”

—Rumi

Dear wanderers, I feel that we are too careful in the pursuit of our love,

our dreams, our passions, only going as far as we think it is safe.

It is called living cautiously, but in my book it is called dying.

In our insane effort to avoid pain, life escapes us!

That is no way to live!

Afraid to fall, we no longer walk. Have you seen a baby stumble and fall and cry a bit

to then get up and continue?

Yes. Drink from this natural wisdom to live fully!

I want to live dangerously on the edge.

Tasting the sweetness and raw power of my passion and calling.

Seeing rainbows spring from my center.

Intoxicating myself with the aroma of life in every breath.

Picture this, a bird proudly showing her colored feathers,

displaying her luminous wings as she is about to take flight,

going the extra mile because of this mad love

that fuels her soul on her journey home.

Marjory
