In the sacred tapestry of the Wild Woman's existence, there exists a profound essence that pulses through her very being: Passion. These words intend to echo the wisdom of Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Ph.D., the storyteller whose tales unfurl like ancient scrolls of empowerment. Drawing from the wellspring of her timeless masterpiece, "Women Who Run with the Wolves," let us embark on a journey to explore the sacredness of passion, guided by the voice of Estés herself.
Estés, invites us to "lay out nourishment for the creative life," and in doing so, we discover that passion is one of the four fundamental food groups that sustain our souls. Passion is the fire that ignites our spirits, the driving force that propels us forward on our unique journey through life.
Imagine, if you will, a life devoid of passion, where each day is a monotonous march through time, devoid of the vibrant colors that make our hearts sing. It is through passion that we infuse our existence with vitality, purpose, and a sense of aliveness. It is the spark that transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary.
For the Wild Woman, passion is not a luxury; it's a lifeline. It's the heartbeat of her creative soul, the source from which her artistry flows. It is the fiery wellspring that fuels her pursuits, whether they be in the realms of art, science, caregiving, or any other endeavor that lights her soul aflame.
Passion is the sacred dance of our deepest desires and longings. It's the magnetic force that draws us toward the things that truly matter, the pursuits that resonate with the very core of our being. It's the compass that guides us toward our true north, helping us make choices that align with our authentic selves.
In the teachings of Estés, passion is not mere enthusiasm; it's a profound connection to the soul's calling. It's about embracing the things that set our hearts on fire, whether it's a creative project, a cause we are passionate about, or the pursuit of a dream. It's about living life with gusto and unapologetically pursuing what brings us joy.
Passion keeps the river of our lives clean, as Estés beautifully puts it. It washes away the stagnation, the doubts, and the complacency that can accumulate over time. It propels us forward, cleansing our spirits and rejuvenating our souls. It is a force of renewal, a reminder that life is meant to be lived passionately.
So, let us heed the wisdom of Clarissa Pinkola Estés and "sock up" on the sacredness of passion. Let us nurture the flames that burn within us, for it is in embracing our passions that we not only infuse our lives with meaning and purpose but also contribute our unique gifts to the world. Passion is not just an emotion; it's the radiant thread that weaves our stories into the grand tapestry of existence. It is the heartbeat of the wild women who run with the wolves—fierce, fearless, and forever in love with life.
