Clarissa Pinkola Estés
A Prayer
Refuse to fall down
If you cannot refuse to fall down,
refuse to stay down.
If you cannot refuse to stay down,
lift your heart toward heaven,
and like a hungry beggar,
ask that it be filled.
You may be pushed down.
You may be kept from rising.
But no one can keep you from lifting your heart
toward heaven
only you.
It is in the middle of misery
that so much becomes clear.
The one who says nothing good
came of this,
is not yet listening.

Clarissa Pinkola Estés, The Faithful Gardener: A Wise Tale About That Which Can Never Die

Clarissa Pinkola Estés
“If you have yet to be called an incorrigable, defiant woman,
don't worry, there is still time”
Clarissa Pinkola Estés

Parker J. Palmer
“Some journeys are direct, and some are circuitous; some are heroic, and some are fearful and muddled. But every journey, honestly undertaken, stands a chance of taking us toward the place where our deep gladness meets the world's deep need.”
Parker J. Palmer, Let Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation

Jacqueline Carey
“After you, it's all cheap tequila.”
Jacqueline Carey, Santa Olivia

Willa Cather
“The heart of another is a dark forest, always, no matter how close it has been to one’s own.”
Willa Cather
