a vast, oceanic heart

Clarissa Pinkola Estés, from “Women who Run with the Wolves,” c. 1992

a/n: supposed to be a personal one but after the passing of i made a last minute change bc if u think about it, the quote describes her beautifully.

As a woman gathers more years, she becomes more bold, which is not the same as brave: Brave is jumping in. Bold is jumping in led by angels. In age, we learn to know the difference. For certain, ‘older is bolder…’”. Words: Clarissa Pinkola Estes

“Stories are medicine. I have been taken with stories since I heard my first. They have such power; they do not require that we do, be, act, anything -- we need only listen.”
― Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype

"We are needed,
that is all we can know.
And though we meet resistance,
we more so will meet great souls
who will hail us, love us and guide us,
and we will know them when they appear…”

― Clarissa Pinkola Estés
