i'll tell you right now,
the doors to the world of the wild self are few
but precious.
if you have a deep scar,
that is a door;
if you have an old, old story,
that is a door.
if you love the sky and the water
so much that you almost cannot bear it,
that is a door.
if you yearn for a deeper life,
a full life,
a sane life,
that is a door.
