**2nd Talk: Wildness and Civility – Using the Russian poet Anna Ahkmatova as our jumping off point and working off of ideas from the previous lecture on heartbreak, we begin now to explore the relationship between wildness and civility. The Tibetan teacher Chogyam Trungpa offers us a recipe in the form of a haiku for how to be in the world with wild vitality.
