Clarissa Pinkola Estes Quotes About Bones

• The body remembers, the bones remember, the joints remember, even the little finger remembers. Memory is lodged in pictures and feelings in the cells themselves. Like a sponge filled with water, anywhere the flesh is pressed, wrung, even touched lightly, a memory may flow out in a stream.

  Clarissa Pinkola Estes

  Memories, Cells, Water

• When women hear those words, an old, old memory is stirred and brought back to life. The memory is of our absolute, undeniable, and irrevocable kinship with the wild feminine, a relationship which may have become ghostly from neglect, buried by over-domestication, outlawed by the surrounding culture, or no longer understood anymore. We may have forgotten her names, we may not answer when she calls ours, but in our bones we know her, we yearn toward her, we know she belongs to us and we to her.

  Memories, Names, Culture

• So, let us push on now, and remember ourselves back to the wild soul. Let us sing her flesh back onto our bones.

• Hueso a hueso, pelo a pelo, la Mujer Salvaje regresa. A través de sueños nocturnos, a través de acontecimientos medio comprendidos y medio recordados.

• Vengo de una larga estirpe de narradoras: mesemondok, viejas húngaras que cuentan sentadas en sillas de madera con sus carteras de plástico en el regazo, las rodillas separadas, las faldas tocando el suelo... y cuentistas, viejas latinas que de pie, robustas de pecho, anchas de caderas, gritan la historia al estilo ranchero. Ambos clanes cuentan historias con la voz llana de las mujeres que han vivido la sangre y los bebés, el pan y los huesos. Para ellas, la historia es una medicina que fortalece y enaltece al individuo y a la comunidad.
