Scout, thanks for synthesizing so many ideas here. Haha Strider, if someone had asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up when I was 7, I would have said, “A Sioux” (Lakota).

This post was especially inspiring Scout! It made me choke up a little...it made me excited to be following my heart, it made me joyful that others are too, that I'm not the only "crazy" one... I've always felt in my bones that rewilding was the way to go; I just didn't have a name for it til recently! I was the kid who at seven announced to my family that I was going to live in a tree someday...they laughed, but I was serious. Anyway, I've been very inspired by your blog...I'm wondering if you are offering classes lately in the PDX area; also you could ad my blog to your list of blogs about rewilding; not everything in my blog directly relates to rewilding, (some midwifery stuff too,) and none of it is as well written as your stuff, however, I think it is pretty interesting. http://www.progressiveu.org/blog/carrot Anyway, keep up the good work! I've been fighting my own feral urges for far too long...I'm beginning to give in! Wow! This post was especially inspiring Scout! It made me choke up a little…it made me excited to be following my heart, it made me joyful that others are too, that I’m not the only “crazy” one…
