Beware of wandering into your head alone. It's a dangerous neighborhood. —poet Gary Snyder
For #WorldMentalHealthDay, what #therapy and #counselling actually looks like, courtesy of #GarySnyder:
Spending time with your own mind is humbling and broadening. One finds that there's no one in charge, and is reminded that no thought lasts for long.
– #GarySnyder
Read carefully, then don't read; work hard, then forget about it; know your tradition, then liberate yourself from it; learn language, then free yourself from it. Finally, know at least one form of magic.

licking each other’s necks and withers—

Wildness.
It is perennially within us, dormant as a hard-shelled seed, awaiting the fire or flood that awakes it again.
