The Power of Stories
Stories are medicine. They have such power; they do not require that we do, be, act anything – we need only listen. – Clarissa Pinkola Estés
I hope you will go out and let stories happen to you, and that you will work them, water them with your blood and tears and your laughter ’til they bloom, ’til you yourself burst into bloom. – Clarissa Pinkola Estés
The craft of questions, the craft of stories, the craft of the hands- all these are the making of something, and that something is soul. Anytime we feed soul, it guarantees increase. – Clarissa Pinkola Estés
The things that women reclaim are often their own voice, their own values, their imagination, their clairvoyance, their stories, their ancient memories. If we go for the deeper, and the darker, and the less known we will touch the bones. – Clarissa Pinkola Estés
