Yesterday I took Audible.com up on it's offer of a free download. I chose Women Who Run With The Wolves by Clarrissa Pinkola Estes. I am really excited about this woman right now. She is a very inspiring story teller.
The way she narrates the book it feels like you are sitting around a fire listening to an old friend giving you advice on life. Standing back and looking through the ages at these tales that speak to us now even though our lives are so different. She tells a story that illustrates an archetype and then with little effort transition from tale to real life learned advice. We relate because in reality the emotions are the same. The metaphors transcend time.
I highly recommend checking this book out. Now I really want to get my hands on The Dangerous Old Woman.
