THIS is why I was in London last week.
Wild Creature Mind.
Read it.
Value it.
Do it.
Let it bring up a well of compassion within you, dream into your creativity, engage ALL within you, align what you think, what you value and then DO IT!
Because all knowing is really truly deeply in the do-ing.
Boys. Girls. Parents.
Healing is needed.
So recruit one another & LET’S DO IT!
PS, imagine this theatre almost filled… with me in the second front row…
Feeling & sensing the audience as they expressed their reactions to questions about & &
❤️🙏🔥
Thanks Steve Biddulph
Now I’m back in Bristol, I will be training 4 awesome people how to listen to their multiple brains this week - so they can apply this wisdom in their own lives as well as with others ❤️
WHAT IT ALL HAS BEEN FOR It’s surprising what can move you to tears. It was a photo sent by someone I've known for ages. A kind and devoted father.
It showed his (mid-teens) daughter holding a copy of Wild Creature Mind. She has one of those soft and kindly faces, tinged with sadness, that you see on so many girls, that I now know hints at their being hammered on the inside with anxiety.
I saw those faces in the audience in London, teenagers and adults alike.
This thought - my book in the hands of kids who desperately need help, is the very heart of what I and my dear editors and friends have worked for over the last three years. It’s something I have noticed in myself before, I tend to cry when there is hope, just a glimmer.
That these kids who suffer so much every waking minute, that their very will to go on living hangs in the balance. Whose kindness and sensitivity has brought them undone in a predatory and inhuman machine of a world, might find the fierce power in them to fight back, keep their open hearts but add their animal power to defend themselves and our world.
To go from imploding to exploding. The answer to anxiety is not to be sedated - but to find your fierce aliveness and feel all the others alongside you, and take it somewhere wild and new.
I want to wrap love around those young people, and then stand back and watch them fly. Can a book do that? Do let me know.
