Words to Safari By: Helen MacDonald



“I don’t have both sides. I only have wildness.”

Wildness and a pretty great coffee mug.

‘Wild’ has established itself as my favourite word. It has ousted ‘languid,’ which has served as my favourite word since 2004. From languid to wild…

You can’t say ‘Wild’ and not be happy. The way it rolls around your tongue is addictive. “Wild…”

I’m so thankful for this wild life. This wildlife. This life without another side. Love.
