“Wildlife and the Wild Woman are both endangered species.
Over time, we have seen the feminine instinctive nature looted, driven
back, and overbuilt. For long periods it has been mismanaged like the
wildlife and the wildlands.”
“A healthy woman is much like a wolf: robust, chock-full, strong life
force, life-giving, territorially aware, inventive, loyal, roving. Yet, separation
from the wildish nature causes a woman’s personality to become
meager, thin, ghostly, spectral … When women’s lives are in stasis, or
filled with ennui, it is always time for the wildish woman to emerge; it
is time for the creating function of the psyche to flood the delta.”
“The modern woman is a blur of activity. She is pressured to be all
things to all people. The old knowing is long overdue.”
