Clarissa Pinkola Estes

I hope you will go out and let stories happen to you, and that you will work them, water them with your blood and tears and you laughter till they bloom, till you yourself burst into bloom. ↗

If you've lost focus, just sit down and be still. Take the idea and rock it to and fro. Keep some of it and throw some away, and it will renew itself. You need do no more. ↗

This kind of forgetting does not erase memory, it lays the emotion surrounding the memory to rest. ↗
