yoga mindset: Your a wild thing, baby, a wild human being

beyond the shopping malls & the tv set

a voice from somewhere deep within us whispering

don’t forget

your a wild thing baby

a wild human being

and there’s more to your life

than what you’ve been seeing

to crawl through the Mud and lay in the Field to know every Sunrise as beauty revealed to play in the Ocean to run laughing down Hill

you’re a creature of nature your a wild thing still

your a wild thing baby wherever you go beyond all you do underneath all you know and the Hawk and the Deer your sister and your brother the Whale and the Wolf and every thing living under there calling you home and the Whippoorwills cry and the call of the Loon and the grunting Baboon in the cover of night the squawking of Geese in a homecoming flight Coyote howl of the Owl the growl of the Tiger the roar of the Lion crying for you to come home and remember

just who you are

the secret of life in the Light from a star reflected mysteriously in the Smile of a baby your the Eyes of a cat

you’re an animal Being

a wild thing baby

a glorious human

and maybe

just maybe i think

much more

even

than

that.
