Healthy wolves and healthy women share
certain psychic characteristics: keen sensing, playful spirit, and a
heightened capacity for devotion. Wolves and women are related by
nature, inquiring, possessed of great endurance and strength. They are
deeply intuitive, intensely concerned with their young, their mates, and
their pack. They are experienced in adapting to constantly changing
circumstance; they are fiercely stalwart and very brave.Yet both
have been hounded, harassed, and falsely imputed to be devouring and
devious, overly aggressive, of less value than those who are their
detractors. They have been the targets of those who would clean up the
wilds as well as the wildish environs of the psyche, extincting the
instinctual, and leaving no trace of it behind. The predation of wolves
and women by those who misunderstand them is strikingly similar.~Women Who Run With The Wolves / Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph. D
Some days I am more wolf than woman.
