I have been...That song, so striking in the message.<br />I have been gifted that book, found that book in shops and have re-read it often. One of mine favourite parts I have been thinking of lately is:<br /><br />“The sole work of La Loba [Wolf Woman] is the collecting of bones. She is known to collect and preserve especially that which is in danger of being lost to the world…She creeps and crawls and sifts through the mountains and dry riverbeds, looking for wolf bones, and when she has assembled an entire skeleton, when the last bone is in place and the beautiful white sculpture of the creature is laid out before her, she sits by the fire and thinks about what song she will sing. And when she is sure, she stands over the criatura, raises her arms over it, and sings out. That is when the rib bones and leg bones of the wolf begin to flesh out and the creature becomes furred. La Loba sings some more, and more of the creature comes into being; its tail curls upward, shaggy and strong….and still La Loba sings so deeply that the floor of the desert shakes, and as she sings, the wolf opens its eyes, leaps up, and runs away down the canyon. Somewhere in the running…the wolf is suddenly transformed into a laughing woman who runs free toward the horizon.” <br />~Excerpt from Women Who Run with the Wolves<br /><br /><br />Truth.

I'm definitely going through some of this myself at the moment, and it is striking how so much of the spiritual is tied up in the physical. This image of re-assembling a dry skeleton really speaks to me today, thank you! :)Sadee Schillinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07823888257043169951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-733325312731983180.post-56919821960407621522012-05-30T09:03:40.909-07:002012-05-30T09:03:40.909-07:00aww...i'm totally with Kmarie on this one! i&#...aww...i'm totally with Kmarie on this one! i'm thinking of you all too. :) and i definitely would not be who i am today without you all in my life.Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16916930974009368265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-733325312731983180.post-19743206113877108642012-05-29T15:28:55.786-07:002012-05-29T15:28:55.786-07:00This is lovely.
