Women Who Run With the Wolves
A healthy woman is much like a wolf -
strong life force, life-giving, territorily
aware, intuitive and loyal. Yet seperation
from her wildish nature causes a woman to
become meager, anxious, and fearful.
With the wild nature as ally and teacher,
we see not through two eyes only,
but through the many eyes of intuition.
With intuition we are like the starry night,
we gaze at the world through a thousand eyes.
The wild nature carries the medicine for all things.
She carries stories, dreams, words and songs.
She carries everything a woman needs to be and know.
She is the essence of the female soul...
It does not mean to lose one's primary
socializations. It means quite the opposite.
The wild nature has a vast integrity to it.
It means to establish territory, to find one's
pack, to be in one's body with certainty and
pride, to speak and act in one's behalf, to be
alert, and to find what one belongs to. It
means to rise with dignity, to proceed as a
powerful being who is friendly but never tame.
The Wild Woman is the one who thunders in
the face of injustice. She is the one who keeps
a woman going when she thinks she's done for.
She is intuition, far-seer, deep listener, and
she is loyal heart. She thrives on fresh site,
and self-integrity.
Where can you find her? She walks in the deserts,
cities, woods, oceans, and in the mountain of
solitude. She lives in women everywhere; in
castles with queens, in the boardrooms, in the
penthouse, and on the night bus to Brownsville.
Whether you are possessed of a simple heart or
the ambitious, whether you are trying to make
it to the top or just make it through tomorrow,
the wild nature belongs to you.
She lives in a faraway place that breaks through
to our world. She lives in the past and is
summoned by us. She is in the present. She is in
the future and walks backward in time to find us now.
Without us the Wild Woman dies.
Without the Wild Woman, we die.
