We Were Made For These Times – Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Click on the link for this beautiful and inspiring piece from Clarissa. It won’t be new to some of you….and stands repeating.

Thanks to Jewels Wingfield on Facebook for a timely reminder of this passage, in the run up to the general election:-

‘When a great ship is in harbor and moored, it is safe, there can be no doubt. But that is not what great ships are built for.’
