Additional quotes by Clarissa Pinkola Estés

"وهناك طريق آخر لتقوية الاتصال والرابطة مع الغريزة, وهو ألا تسمحي لأي شخص أن يقمع طاقتك الحيوية... التي هي اعتقاداتك, أفكارك، مثلك العليا، قيمك، افتراضاتك، أهدافك. وفي هذا العالم يوجد أقل القليل من "صح/خطأ" أو "طيب/شرير", إلا أنه يوجد فيه "مفيد" و "غير مفيد". وهناك أيضاً أشياء تكون أحياناً مدمرة وبالمثل أشياء مولدة. ولكن _كما تعلمين_ الحديقة ينبغي تقليبها في الخريف من أجل إعدادها للربيع. فهي لا تزهر طوال الوقت. ولكن اجعلي دوراتك الداخلية هي التي تملي المنحنيات الحلزونية الصاعدة والهابطة لحياتك, ولا تتركي تحديدها لشخص آخر من خارج نفسك."

Each woman has potential access to Rio Abajo Rio, this river beneath the river. She arrives there through deep meditation, dance, writing, painting, prayermaking, singing, drumming, active imagination, or any activity which requires an intense altered consciousness. A woman arrives in this world-between-worlds through yearning and by seeking something she can see just out of the corner of her eye. She arrives there by deeply creative acts, through intentional solitude, and by practice of any of the arts.

Stories set the inner life into motion, and this is particularly important where the inner life is frightened, wedged, or cornered. Story greases the hoists and pulleys, it causes adrenaline to surge, shows us the way out, down, or up, and for our trouble, cuts for us fine wide doors in previously blank walls, openings that lead to the dreamland, that lead to love and learning, that lead us back to our own real lives as knowing wildish women.
