More From Clarissa Pinkola Estes

I would not exchange the laughter of my heart for the fortunes of the multitudes; nor would i be content with converting my tears, invited by my agonized self, into calm. it is my fervent hope that my whole life on this earth will ever be tears and laughter. tears that purify my heart and reveal to me the secret of life and its mystery, laughter that brings me closer to my fellow men; tears with which i join the broken-hearted, laugher that symbolizes joy over my very existence.

And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.
Christian Hope Night
Study water. try to grab a hold of water, and it will always elude you. you just have to let yourself be in it. it's soft, and it overcomes anything that's hard. put the hardest substance - say, titanium - out there, and let water flow over it. eventually, patiently, peacefully, the water will just wear it away. also, water will enter anywhere - through any opening at all. so, let yourself be like that. god is in nature, everywhere and always. and we have so much to learn.

Then i noticed that my shadow was crying too, shedding clear, sharp shadow tears. have you ever seen the shadows of tears, mr. wind-up bird? they’re nothing like ordinary shadows. nothing at all. they come here from some other, distant world, especially for our hearts. or maybe not. it struck me then that the tears my shadow was shedding might be the real thing, and the tears that i was shedding were just shadows. you don’t get it, i’m sure, mr. wind-up bird. when a naked seventeen-year-old girl is shedding tears in the moonlight, anything can happen. it’s true.

Stories? we all spend our lives telling them, about this, about that, about people … but some? some stories are so good we wish they’d never end. they’re so gripping that we’ll go without sleep just to see a little bit more. some stories bring us laughter and sometimes they bring us tears … but isn’t that what a great story does? makes you feel? stories that are so powerful … they really are with us forever.

But in a way you can say that after leaving the sea, after all those millions of years of living inside of the sea, we took the ocean with us. when a woman makes a baby, she gives it water, inside her body, to grow in. that water inside her body is almost exactly the same as the water of the sea. it is salty, by just the same amount. she makes a little ocean, in her body. and not only this. our blood and our sweating, they are both salty, almost exactly like the water from the sea is salty. we carry oceans inside of us, in our blood and our sweat. and we are crying the oceans, in our tears.

Dill was off again. beautiful things floated around in his dreamy head. he could read two books to my one, but he preferred the magic of his own inventions. he could add and subtract faster than lightning, but he preferred his own twilight world, a world where babies slept, waiting to be gathered like morning lilies.

The software program for motherhood is impossible to fully download into the male brain. you give them two tasks and they're like, 'i have to change the baby and get the dry cleaning?'
Baby Motherhood Two
People often ask me, "what's the difference between couplehood and babyhood?" in a word? moisture. everything in my life is now more moist. between your spittle, your diapers, your spit-up and drool, you got your baby food, your wipes, your formula, your leaky bottles, sweaty baby backs, and numerous other untraceable sources-all creating an ever-present moistness in my life, which heretofore was mainly dry.

I don't like to leave what i'm going to eat in other people's hands, so i'll pack my own lunch. i chop up a salad with lots of greens - everything from spinach, baby spinach, arugula, cucumber, avocado, radish, cauliflower, and green olives to parsley and cilantro, all chopped really fine - with a piece of wild salmon. i even bring my own tea in a thermos.
