I picked up this book as a remembered aside from my friend Daniel Haam. He exclaimed this book had everything about life in it and indeed about primitive nature he was right. This book came at a good time while i am dealing with my primitive nature of a certain aspect of life. I also watched a halaqa exclaiming the way to manage anger was to suppress this primitive reaction one would have because it is most likely the wrong course of action instead on should react with logic therefore giving control to the situation and outcome.

This book had amazing imagery which i intend to capitalize on in a drawing or two. My favorite lessons from this book was the role of dominance and obedience Buck like me and many humans today was pampered and had a lost sense his nature but by going into the same harsh conditions as his ancestors he persevered by adapting and understanding there is a higher powered logic to obey; humans. The law of club and fang; why are men superior to animals? Simply due to logic and rationale. Not by might or keen senses and Buck was superior to both man and beast because he possessed both rationale and keen sense.

The imagery i enjoyed was when Bucked stared into the fire to a dream like state and had visions of his ancestors Hearing the call to the wild. So vivid were his memories of past generations and so beautiful were his wolverine companions. I believe this also says a bit about domesticating animals esp dogs the whole journey was Buck growing to find his true self Buck exclaimed he no longer felt ties to the house from which he came. He only heard sounds of the wild. And the call to be free from mans ties. I also am exhilarated by Bucks multifaceted personality he can show love leadership, aggression, obedience and defiance from one scene to the next. He wasn’t just a mindless brute but a well strengthen warrior and intellectual as well.

“There is an ecstasy that marks the summit of life, and beyond which life cannot rise. And such is the paradox of living, this ecstasy comes when one is most alive, and it comes as a complete forgetfulness that one is alive.”

“We are travelers on a cosmic journey, stardust swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in eternity.”
