In Scotland, "Are you simple?!" means are you dumb, stupid, intellectually-retarded? It's ironic because so many of us actively pursue a sense of simplicity, a stillness of mind, a simple way of being. As - [Let's spin the bottle, why not?](https://www.innerwildtherapy.com/2010/09/lets-spin-the-bottle-why-not/) - So I've been a little neglectful of my darling online journal recently. {AND THAT'S OK!

If we dance through life then the tango is my dance. What’s yours? Waltz? Foxtrot? Tango? Maybe a bit of line dancing - why not?

That’s right, a moth hunting party. But - [Why we should all sing more](https://www.innerwildtherapy.com/2010/05/why-we-should-all-sing-more/) - When an opera diva opens her lungs and mouth and sings it’s like the raw emotions of all humankind flowing like white water rivers, wild bush fires, avalanches crashing, tidal waves breaking and molten lava surging down the steep sides of a volcano.

Forest at sunrise. A dog wagging his tail and smiling. A shabby leather armchair Winston Churchill sat in and smoked a cigar. Which of these might you consider beautiful?

Having had the dangerous thought last year that perhaps part of my - [What no television?](https://www.innerwildtherapy.com/2010/05/what-no-television/) - Maybe if TVs still looked like they did in the 1960's I might still have one. No. Maybe if television still ran the kinds of shows as it did then, and in black and white, I would not have felt an urge to "get rid" of our TV. Getting rid of your television is a - [Does where you live affect how wildly you dress?](https://www.innerwildtherapy.com/2010/05/does-where-you-live-affect-how-wildly-you-dress/) - Some days I dress a little wild. Others I’m almost invisible. Ornate headbands are one of my favorite things. That's not me in the photo but I would wear that darling whichgoose headpiece.

This - [You already know how to scare off evil](https://www.innerwildtherapy.com/2010/05/you-already-know-how-to-scare-off-evil/) - As children we are exquisitely vulnerable to evil. And this is why we are naturally equipped with a vast array of built-in defences and processing techniques. For some reason we lose respect for these effective Self-preservation techniques through puberty.

Terrified of - [Fox in Box Fable](https://www.innerwildtherapy.com/2010/04/fox-in-box-fable/) - The other night I found myself in a fairy tale. It was about a captive animal and the central character was that traditional hero, (more often anti-hero) of fables: a fox.

I’m stipulating men not because I’m a sexist flower but because unlike men, for whatever reasons, women have retained hobbies through recent decades (why is the idea of having “hobbies” so cringe-inducing?).
