Women Who Run with the Wolves “The hallmark of the wild nature is that it goes on. It perseveres. This is not something we do. It is something we are, naturally and innately. When we cannot thrive, we hold on until we can thrive again. Whether it be our creative life that we are cut away from, whether it be a culture or a religion we are cast out of, whether it be a familial exiling, a banishment by a group, or sanctions on our movements, thoughts, and feelings, the inner wild life continues and we go on. So, if women must, they will paint blue sky on jail walls. If the skeins are burnt, they will spin more. If the harvest is destroyed they will sow more . . . Women will draw doors where there are none, and open them and pass through into new ways and new lives. Because the wild nature persists and prevails, women persist and prevail . . . spring comes, new life comes, a new turn, a new try comes. The most important thing is to hold on, hold out, for your creative life, for your solitude, for your time to be and do, for your very life; hold on, for the promise from the wild nature is this: after winter, spring always comes.” “Bone by bone, hair by hair, Wild Woman comes back.” ~ Clarissa Pinkola Estes, PhD Art: Marissa Quinn, “La Loba: Bone Whisperer” Marissa Quinn Art via Her Circle Woven #WomensWisdom #WomensEmpowerment #Goddess #GoddessCircle #EarthWisdom #Mythology #Magick #Folklore #FolkTradition #LaLoba #HERstory
