Wildlife and women are both endangered species.
Over time, we have seen the feminine instinctive nature looted, driven back and overbuilt. For long periods it has been mismanaged like the wildlife and wildlands. For several thousand years, as soon and as often as we turn out backs, it is relegated to the poorest land in the psyche. The spiritual lands of the Wild Women have, throughout history, been plundered or burnt, dens bulldozed and natural cycles forced into unnatural rhythms to please others.
It's not by accident that the pristine wilderness of our planet appearss as the understanding of our own inner wild nature fades. It is not so difficult to comprehend why old forests and old women are viewed as not very important resources. It is not such a mystery. It is not so coincidental that wolves and coyotes bears and wildish women have similar reputations.
Rather than chairs and tables I preferred the ground and trees, and caves for in those place i felt i could lean against the check of god.
These words are not my own but exerts from the book .... Women who run with the wolves by Clarissa Pinkola .... a book that should be read by all women.
