There is a tame, and also a wild, side to the human mind.
The tame side, like a farmer's field, has been disciplined and cultivated to produce a desired yield. It is useful but limited.
The wild side is larger, deeper, more complex, and though it cannot be fully known, it can be explored... It has landscapes and creatures within it that will surprise us. It can refresh us and scare us. Wild mind reflects the larger truth of our ancient selves, of our ancient animal and spiritual selves... The wildness gives heart, courage, love, spirit, danger, compassion, skill, fierceness, and sweetness -- all at once.
-- Gary Snyder, Writers and the War Against Nature
