Clarissa Pinkola Estes Quotes

Clarissa Pinkola Estes quote from classy quote

Over and over we lose this sense of feeling we are wholly in our skins by means already named as well as through extended duress. Those who toil too long without respite are also at risk. The soulskin vanishes when we are not paying attention to what we are really doing and particularly the cost to us.We lose the soulskin by becoming too involved with ego, by being too exacting, perfectionistic, or unnecessarily martyred, or driven by a blind ambition, or by being dissatisfied - about self, family, community, culture, world - and not saying or doing anything about it, or by pretending we are an ending source for others, or by not doing all we can to help ourselves. Oh, there are as many ways to lose the soul skin as there are women in the world.The only way to hold on to this sensual soulskin is to retain an exquisitely pristine consciousness about its value and uses.

When the wildish woman has an idea, the friend or lover will never say, Well, I don't know . . . sounds really dumb [grandiose, undoable, expensive, etc.] to me. A right friend will never say that. They might say instead . . . I don't know if I understand. Tell me how you see it. Tell me how it will work.
