I’ve been watching Born to Be Wild, a wildlife documentary series about raising wild animal babies to be released back into the wild.

It reminds me of a beloved television series from my childhood, Born Free.

And it’s triggered in me the same dream. That of running away to the wilderness to work with wild animals.

I can picture myself there. Working with the animals during the day. Writing books at night.

Doesn’t that sound wonderful?
