An overused phrase for sure and I’d imagine it means very different things to different people. For me it’s that instant when two brains, one rational and one instinctual, ask the same questions; who are you, what are you doing in my space, are you a threat, do I need to defend myself, should I retreat ? To paraphrase Teo Alfero, the founder of Wolf Connection, an encounter like this can awaken a dormant, primal memory within us, an echo from a distant time when we were more alert, connected to nature, awake, and alive.
