One of the best! One part fairytale, one part spiritual guide, one part literary analysis. One of the most unique books I’ve read and I think about it often.
“There is an old legend that says we each have a wild, curious twin that was thrown out the window the night we were born, taking much of our vitality with them. If there was something we were meant to do with our few, brief years on Earth, we can be sure that the wild twin is holding the key. In Courting the Wild Twin, Dr. Martin Shaw invites us to seek out our wild twin--a metaphor for the part of ourselves that we generally shun or ignore to conform to societal norms--to invite them back into our consciousness, for they have something important to tell us. He challenges us to examine our broken relationship with the world, to think boldly, wildly, and in new ways about ourselves-as individuals and as a collective. Through the use of scholarship, storytelling, and personal reflection, Shaw unpacks two ancient European fairy tales that concern the mysterious wild twin. By reading these tales and becoming storytellers ourselves, he suggests we can restore our agency and confront modern challenges with purpose, courage, and creativity.”

smoke a blunt. say goodbye to ur lover that you have been with every day for three years. fight back tears and weed paranoia. get lost as soon as you walk into the airport. run into ur partners cheating ass homeboy at his tsa job. get ur hair stuck in ur bag and have a tsa agent get it unstuck. get ur sunscreen and bugspray confiscated. drop your half gallon metal water bottle in the middle of the walkway and spill it everywhere. have your eyebrows bleached so you forget and wonder why everyone is looking at you crazy all day.
