Allowing the wild

Today I am Wild.

I have made the mistake oftentimes that I need to always carry my children with me on my journey. Frustrated that on a day when I want to embrace nature and have a bit more of a fluffy gaze on life, faded at the edges, softer, dreamier, the demands come thick and strong: can I have the tablet? What are we doing today? I want to leave Now?! Etc.

And in the blissful turn of events today, the younger two have gone out and I am here, bold and strong. Able to follow my dream time with the grounding focuses of house clearing and preparing two meals.

I can enforce this (or try to!) on my older girls who are with me here : Chill out!! Calm down!! Come for a walk!! Dance with me in the fields (well I know how well that one would go down with my blossoming girlchild!)
Or I can leave them in peace.
To tablet and organise their days as they please.

So off I stomp skip magic my way up the lane and over the hill.

Out of sight.
