Wild Woman

"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. Though the gifts of the wildish nature come to us at birth, society's attempt to "civilize" us into rigid roles has plundered this treasure, and muffled the deep, life-giving messages of our own souls. Without Wild Woman, we become over-domesticated, fearful, uncreative, trapped."

The preceding quotes are from the foreward and introduction of Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D.

Morning walks

This is the park behind our lake, behind our house that I walk in each morning with Dusty.
I feel like I have learned so much from nature.......the main thing is: Everything changes....nothing stays the same. I love this park. It is one of the places that always connects me to spirit.
love,
Michele


To be poor and be without trees,
is to be the most starved human being in the world.
To be poor and have trees,
is to be completely rich in ways that money can never buy.
