The Peace of Wild Things
The wild woman
March 27, 2009
“Having a lover/friend who regards you as a living growing criatura, being, just as much as the tree from the ground, or a ficus in the house, or a rose garden out in the side yard… having a lover and friends who look at you as a true living breathing entity, one that is human but made of very fine and moist and magical things as well… a lover and friends who support the criatura in you… these are the people you are looking for. They will be the friends of your soul for life. Mindful choosing of friends and lovers, not to mention teachers, is critical to remaining conscious, remaining intuitive, remaining in charge of the fiery light that sees and knows.”
— Clarissa Pinkola Estes (Women Who Run with the Wolves)
Women who Run with Wolves has to be for me, the most moving, insightful and inspirational book I have read…………………. finding ones connection to the “wild”, our intuition, keeps us in that moist magical place where we create abundance from our heart

RUMI QUOTE – on love
Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

Guidance from Eileen Caddy
Start this day to create a better world around you by all that you do, say and think and really enjoy it all to the full. Life is there to be enjoyed and every day should be full to overflowing with all the good things in life. Expect the best and accept only the best. You have been told this many times, and yet many of you are still content to accept second best either because you feel you are unworthy to receive the best or you are just too lazy to raise your consciousness until you visualise the very best and then hold the very best in your consciousness until it manifests in form. This is where you have to put into practice that lesson of patience, persistence and perseverance and see it work out.

Carl Jung – Extract from autobiographical book Memories, Dreams, Reflections
Conversation with Native American Chief, Ochwiay Biano.
‘See.’ Ochwiay Biano said, ‘how cruel the whites looks. Their lips are thin and their noses are sharp, their faces furrowed and distorted by folds. Their eyes have a staring expression; they are always seeking something. What are they seeking? The whites always want something, they are always uneasy and restless. We do not know what they want, we do not understand them. We think that they are mad.’
I asked him why he thought the whites were all mad.
‘They say that they think with their heads,’ he replied.
‘Why, of course, what do you think with?’ I asked him in surprise.
‘We think here,’ he said, indicating his heart !
Chief Biano opened Yungs eyes to the limitation of western ‘Rational’ thinking.
