When seeking guidance, don’t ever listen to the tiny-hearted. Be kind to them, heap them with blessings, cajole them, but do not follow their advice. If you have ever been called defiant, incorrigible, forward, cunning, insurgent, unruly, rebellious, you’re on the right track. Wild Woman is close by.*
Clarissa Pinkola Estés
Don’t listen to me–
Not yet–
One day, I’ll have something
to say that will be helpful–
I’m working on it–
Until then, don’t give up on me–
Don’t make it easy–
I grow most through difficulty–
Another day–
I step into the journey again–
