Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés

About

QUOTES FROM Dr.CPE:

“When people ask, Where have you been these past twenty years, why dont you come out very often? I say, I’ve been in my cave underground, working, writing, caring for la familia…. but stay tuned… there will be sightings.”

“If given the choice, choose what makes your life larger rather than smaller.”

“Some people mistake being loving for being a sap. Quite the contrary, the most loving people are often the most fierce and the most acutely armed for battle… for they care about preserving and protecting poetry, symphonic song, ideas, the elements, creatures, inventions, hopes and dreams, dances and holiness… those goodly endeavors that cannot be allowed to perish from this earth, else humanity itself would perish…” from The Dangerous Old Woman

If you have never been called a defiant, incorrigible, impossible woman… have faith… there is yet time…” from Women Who Run with the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype

  15. Querida Clarissa,

    empecé a leer tu libro al principio de mi proceso de terapia, y durante…me ha acompañado en mis tránsitos, separaciones, muertes, resurrecciones, siempre “te he” tenido cerquita de mí, poniendo palabra y poesía a mis sueños, a los anhelos de mi alma, al mismo tiempo que me conectabas con tus cuentos sanadores con el sentir de otras mujeres, otros seres, da igual la cultura…todos nos conectamos en lo numinoso, en esa niebla interior…

    No tengo palabras para agradecerte tu compañía, como una llamita en mi corazón…
    Yo también desearía poder leerte aquí en español…A ver..;-)
    Gracias profundamente.

  16. Clasissa!!! me lei “mujeres que corren con los lobos” y hoy es mi libro de cabecera, esta escrito desde y para el alma de la mujer, te admiro muchisimo, tu obra es sencillamente genial! Me encantaria que todos estos escritos pudieran leerse en nuestro hermoso español, para poder seguir nutriendome de tu sabiduria, sera posible que en alguna ocasion se lleguen a traducir?
    Un abrazo

  17. Thank you so much and how very true.

  18. Clarissa, me encantaría poder entender el inglés perfectamente para ver tus escritos. Sería mucho pedir que en tu página se pueda elegir el idioma?
