What happened in this week's rite when I fell asleep called to mind a quote by Gary Snyder --
"The depths of mind, the unconscious, are our inner wildness areas, and that is where a bobcat is right now. I do not mean personal bobcats in personal psyches, but the bobcat that roams from dream to dream. The conscious agenda-planning ego occupies a tiny territory, a little cubicle somewhere near the gate, keeping track of some of what goes in and out (and sometimes making expansionistic plots), and the rest takes care of itself. The body is, so to speak, in the mind. They are both wild."
-- Gary Snyder, "The Etiquette of Freedom," The Gary Snyder Reader, published by Counterpoint, 1999
