We all begin the process before we are ready, before we are strong enough, before we know enough; we begin a dialogue with thoughts and feelings that both tickle and thunder within us. we respond before we know how to speak the language, before we know all the answers, and before we know exactly to whom we are speaking.

We All Begin The Process Before We

Clarissa Pinkola Estes

We all begin the process before we are ready, before we are strong enough, before we know enough; we begin a dialogue with thoughts and feelings that both tickle and thunder within us. we respond before we know how to speak the language, before we know all the answers, and before we know exactly to whom we are speaking.

The financial crisis just made the hole deeper, which is why our stimulus needs to be both big and smart, both financially and educationally stimulating. it needs to be able to produce not only more shovel-ready jobs and shovel-ready workers, but more google-ready jobs and windows-ready and knowledge-ready workers.

My feelings are not god. god is god. my feelings do not define truth. god’s word defines truth. my feelings are echoes and responses to what my mind perceives. and sometimes - many times - my feelings are out of sync with the truth. when that happens - and it happens every day in some measure - i try not to bend the truth to justify my imperfect feelings, but rather, i plead with god: purify my perceptions of your truth and transform my feelings so that they are in sync with the truth.

Now on the hills i hear the thunder mutter... nearer and nearer rolls the thunder-clap, - you can hear the quick heart of the tempest beat.... look! look! that livid flash! and instantly follows the rattling thunder, as if some cloud-crag, split asunder, fell, splintering with a ruinous crash, on the earth, which crouches in silence under; and now a solid gray wall of rain shuts off the landscape, mile by mile.

I have a funny relationship to language. when i came to california when i was three i spoke urdu fluently and i didn't speak a word of english. within a few months i lost all my urdu and spoke only english and then i learned urdu all over again when i was nine. urdu is my first language but it's not as good as my english and it's sort of become my third language. english is my best language but was the second language i learned.

Dare i speak ,to oppressed and opressor in the same voice? dare i speak to you in a language that will move beyond the boundaries of domination- a language, that will not bind you, fence you in, or hold you? language is also a place of struggle. the oppressed struggle in language to recover ourselves, to reconcile, to reunite, to renew. our words are not without meaning, they are an action, a resistance. language is also a place of struggle.
