"Within every woman there is a wild
and natural creature, a powerful force,
filled with good instincts, passionate
creativity and ageless knowing. Her
name is Wild Woman, but she is an
endangered species."
~Clarissa Pinkola Estés
Boning up on my Clarissa Pinkola Estés
of late. I love her sense of passion and
urgency. Rather makes me want to get
my boots on. On the other hand, booting
up can easily tire me out to the point I
just want to sit back down again.
Still, she leaves me pondering; the new
year is upon us, after all. Not sure what
to ask . . . the age old, "Who do I want
to be when I grow up?" Or, "What do I
want to work on this year?"
As I'm beginning to lose hope with the
whole growing up bit, 'praps I'd better
be thinking about what to work on.
There's always the losing weight bit as
well as the cutting down on the drinks.
But, that's not the kind of work I'm
talking about.
I want to be real, to be me, never any
cover up. I want to grow, grow every
day, and never give up . . .
so need my courage
this old dame learning to be
challenge after all
