MysticBliss: Before We Know


“The real miracle of individuation and reclamation of the Wild Woman is that we all begin the process before we are ready, before we are strong enough, before we know enough; we begin a dialogue with thoughts and feelings that both tickle and thunder within us. We respond before we know how to speak the language, before we know all the answers, and before we know exactly to whom we are speaking.”

--Clarissa Pinkola Estes, of course!

yes ... we begin forming the words before we know what they are or what they mean. we begin seeing the image/vision long before we recognise it.

love those babies.

before we know...what we knew well before we began...to discover the imprint that was already there.
