WILD AT HEART
YOU WERE ONCE WILD HERE.
DON’T LET THEM TAME YOU.
- Isadora Duncan, dancer and wild at heart
My mother was an adventurous, independent, artistic and passionate woman with a "Wild Heart.’ She could draw attention to herself just walking down the street. She emanated a bright aura, and she had a certain air about her that told others not to mess with her unless she invited them too.
AS a child I witnessed her unapologetic ways of making her own way in the world, and even if she was attached to a man, she was never attached to his hip.
She knew how to attain what she desired whether it be a new coat, a new car or even a new man. Everyone around her admired her for that, including any man lucky enough to be in her life.
Her wild hearted way meant she would often travel the country, or the world, by herself, entertain an entire audience with her singing, play the piano at a restaurant without being invited, or walk into any function room by herself, because it wouldn't be but a minute before someone was drawn to her energy and talked to her like an old friend.
If there is one thing I learnt from my wild hearted polygamous mother, it was to live passionately, authentically and unapologetically; it was to be YOURSELF.
So many of us are afraid to show others who we truly are, who we feel we are.
The only way our heart can be healthy is to live in alignment with who we truly are.
Of course I didn't agree with everything my mother did, but I understood and accepted that she was living from her heart centre.
Under my mother’s wing I learnt to understand that when you begin to live with a wild heart you don’t have to wait very long for the things you desire in life to show up. Why? Because you aren’t waiting around for someone to light up your world and bring these things into your life. Your heart decides what you want and then, with clarity and certainty, you get to work with universal energies manifesting and creating it into your vortex. It’s the connection to your heart-centre that sets you apart from the negative souls around you.
There is nothing you can’t attain when living wild at heart because you know where your talents lay, and you’re more than willing to put the work into enhancing them and make your dreams a reality. Wild hearted people are competitive, authentic, and passionate. They’re healthier, more energetic, and more resilient. Some of a wild hearted women’s best work is done during stressful times or working toward a deadline. Trust me, I know!
NOTHING MAKES A WILD-AT-HEART PERSON HAPPIER THAN WHEN COMMUNING WITH NATURE.
When you find your flock of equally passionate wild hearted sisters, then your life becomes even more enhanced! Sure, there are lots of people who’ll hate you when you stand out from the crowd and live this way, but you won’t care. You’re way too busy building your empire and being empathetic towards those that need your love, than worrying about the negative empty people who don’t want to cheer you on. I’m sure you’re aware that there’s no shortage of hate out there on social media, so it's up to the wild-hearted people to spread around the love.
When you are wild hearted you are more than happy to help others out but you mustn't let anyone drag you down to their level of negativity and discontent. A wild heart is still a soft and vulnerable heart, but it can’t be wild without being open. It’s the raw and organic nature of a wild heart that works in unison with the Earth’s flow. Just remember to clear and clean your home and working environment and even yourself when you’re living with your heart on your sleeve. The most accomplished artists of all time lived from a wild heart, they were brave and stood out from the crowd.
IS THERE ANYTHING MORE BEAUTIFUL IN NATURE THAN PARROTS IN THE WILD?
One of my favourite writers, the 19th Century poet, playwright and story-writer, Oscar Wilde was wild at heart and wore his heart on his sleeve. Happily and lovingly married with young children, he was also bisexual and in love with Bosie, the son of the Duke of Queensbury. When the ultra-conservative Duke found out about his son’s relationship with Wilde, he wrote him a public note, calling him a ‘somdomite’….he couldn’t even spell his insult correctly. In 1895, Wilde went against the advice of his friends, and sued him for libel. Tragically, the larger-than-life poet was found guilty of sodomy and gross indecency and sentenced to two years imprisonment with hard labour. While he was waiting in the pouring and freezing cold for the prison carriage to transport him, shivering, he called over a guard, and quipped, “My good man, kindly tell Queen Victoria that if this is the way she treats her convicts, then she doesn’t deserve any.”
Although he died in poverty in Paris, he is best remembered for the brilliant quips which his characters say in his plays. Once, before his fall from grace, when talking to a reporter, he said that “I put all my genius into my life; I put only my talent into my work.”
Truly wild-at-heart, Oscar will always be remembered as one of the brightest lights of literature.
