Wild

Posted by PJ under nature, quote of the day, strength, the numinous, wildness
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“To be strong does not mean to sprout muscles and flex. It means meeting one’s own numinosity without fleeing, actively living with the wild nature in one’s own way. It means to be able to learn, to be able to stand what we know. It means to stand and live.”

—Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Women Who Run With the Wolves
