Im leaving New York this morning to meet Martha Beck at Londolozi game reserve in South Africa, and as I prepare to board my flight, Im struck with how far removed weve become from our wild nature. Ive never been to Africa, and Im already sensing that call of the wild towards something more primal that speaks of our true nature. What within me yearns to run with the lions? What within you wants to escape your cubicle or your suburb or your mask of perfection and be more of Who You Really Are? What within us all feels called to become One with nature, viewing it not as something to destroy for our own pleasure or utility, but because we sense our Oneness with it and feel out of alignment when we betray our fellow animals and plants? What does that call of the wild mean for you? How might you access that primal essence of your true nature today?
