Though her soul requires seeing, the culture around her requires sightlessness. Though her soul wishes to speak its truth, she is pressured to be silent.
Clarissa Pinkola EstesBe wild; that is how to clear the river. The river does not flow in polluted, we manage that. The river does not dry up, we block it. If we want to allow it its freedom, we have to allow our ideational lives to be let loose, to stream, letting anything come, initially censoring nothing. That is creative life. It is made up of divine paradox. To create one must be willing to be stone stupid, to sit upon a throne on top of a jackass and spill rubies from oneโs mouth. Then the river will flow, then we can stand in the stream of it raining down.
Clarissa Pinkola EstesWhen a great ship is in harbor and moored, it is safe, there can be no doubt. But that is not what great ships are built for.
