When I lived in the wilderness, we slept among rocks on hills surrounded by mountains -- often without a tent -- just sleeping bags, sky and wind.
Coyotes came near but never bothered us, never harmed anyone's dog. They just stepped around but went on their way, minding their own lives and letting us live ours in peace.
Sometimes they'd howl -- usually at midnight. I loved the sound. It thrilled and soothed me.
Author Sarah Marquis describes waking one night, feeling restless in her tent.Then she heard a howl and knew she had sensed a wolf nearby, letting her know this was his territory.
Silently, she spoke to the wolf, telling it she would be leaving in the morning. She had no more trouble that night.
We are often out of sync with the natural world and, therefore, with ourselves. People keep building in areas that were wild yet are surprised when the natural world reacts.
Most of us have lost the ability to sense things. Yet intuition is our birthright. Aboriginal tribes, for example, learn as children to travel great distances and find their way back without maps. They have activated their global compass capacity -- one of many gifts we have within us.
