What we call the personality is often a jumble of genuine traits and adopted coping styles that do not reflect our true self at all but the loss of it.*
Gabor Mati

In what condition is my relationship to the instinctual Self? When was the last time I ran free? How do I make life come alive again?**
Clarissa Pinkola Estés

You and I
are more than we appear to be.

You and I
are covered over,
Layers of rush and busy,
Of outwith and objet.

You and I
are being called to the wild places
of solitude and curiosity,
Of within and gift.
