The Three Wolves *view on black*

As a child I was terrified of wolves, likely due to the story, The Big Bad Wolf. Now, I am fascinated, and in awe of them. They have been represented in many ways throughout time in literature and art, film,and music. Who could resist this look?

(not the best exposure of all time, but I love the pose)

 

"Within every woman there is a wild and natural creature, a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. Her name is Wild Woman, but she is an endangered species. Though the gifts of wildish nature come to us at birth, society's attempt to "civilize" us into rigid roles has plundered this treasure, and muffled the deep, life-giving messages of our own souls."

 

These words from the book by Clarrissa Pinkola Estes, "Women Who Run with the Wolves" take us on a journey of discovery through storytelling, and reaching into the ancient archetypes, to reveal our true nature. She is a wonderful "Cantadora", storyteller.

Today on my birthday, I intend to honour my wildish nature.

Have a wonderful day. Dare to howl.
