Of wolves and women

[kellan_the_tabby]

In keeping with a recent theme of wolfishness in my life (giselle0002 and I have always interacted with a certain amount of canine sensibilities, and meradudd has recently started getting in touch with his wolfish side) I decided to finally start reading my copy of Women who Run with the Wolves, which I've been meaning to read for years, and which I acquired around last January.

So far...well, I'm generally not much for deep and involved psychobabble, so maybe it's just not my thing. The stories are nice and I sort of understand some of the things she's saying about them, but so far my reaction is thus:

Sister, you're thinking too damn hard. You need to go find something good and smelly to roll in, catch yourself a bellyful of mice, and have a nap in the sun.

Which might be what _she's_ saying, too - I've sort of caught hints of that - but she's using so many words I'm having a hard time sussing it all out.

I'm gonna keep at it, for a while, at least. But I don't know if I'll finish it.

Wolves are pretty staightforward . . . They do what they do, generally with little more explanation than a mouthful of throat to insist on a thing.

People, on the other hand . . .

So maybe she got caught up in the need to explain and the words and the reasons and the meanings got all in the way of just doing

Maybe what she needs is for someone to take a mouthful of throat and insist on a thing . . .
