The Hero's Journey, Part 6:

Dawn

"Only letting go,

giving heart,

the great drum,

the great instrument of the wild nature, only that creates."

Women Who Run With the Wolves

Clarissa Pinkola Estés

As the Wounded Warrior awakens to the experience of walking in two worlds, he or she is finally positioned to understand the creative strategies of the Wounded Healer. A primary aspect of that practice is the ability and willingness to give one's heart to the process of another's becoming. An excellent and unusual template for this skill can be found in the story of Skeleton Woman, an ancient Inuit story amplified by Clarissa Pinkola Estés, storyteller, poet, author, and Jungian analyst.
