S...Dorothy, I know what you mean. I understand. <br /><br />Sunny, I nearly put the book on eBay last week until Annabelle, a fellow student in my drawing class, didn't exactly talk me out of it, but she being the catalyst in my finally buying the book, kind of persuaded me, in a roundabout way, to stick it under the bed for 6 months and try it again. And if that doesn't work, it'll go on eBay. <br /><br />I think for Annabelle, she needed someone to decipher the noise in her head, and the book did it. She also reads Jung, and I can't remember ever giving that a go.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350447919000146804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-50748875298576611372010-06-28T04:09:28.005+12:002010-06-28T04:09:28.005+12:00Meg, I know I'm late in making this comment, b...Meg, I know I'm late in making this comment, but "Women who Run with Wolves" did nothing for me. I read part of the first chapter and decided it was not pertinent to my life. Her metaphor is not mine and from what you are saying, it's probably not yours, either.Sunny -- aka Matriarchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12343919025257403465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-61303753093078817382010-06-09T06:06:42.569+12:002010-06-09T06:06:42.569+12:00What I meant to say Meg, is that maybe heritage is...What I meant to say Meg, is that maybe heritage is overrated. We just are who we are, we embody our heritage without need to know details. The details, for my family, challenge us to make our mark in the world instead of just living and being and following our own path.Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06488670649558382921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-2405000008227651432010-06-09T05:56:43.722+12:002010-06-09T05:56:43.722+12:00Sometimes Meg I think I have too much knowledge of...Sometimes Meg I think I have too much knowledge of some family history, the lives of certain forebears are too challenging for my generation, they overshadow us. <br /><br />We need to find our own way in the world and value our own lives without comparison to our ancestors. There is more to a good and successful life than the achievements recognised by society.Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06488670649558382921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-4425362724588760452010-06-09T02:03:21.717+12:002010-06-09T02:03:21.717+12:00I'm not sure why it was so highly acclaimed wh...I'm not sure why it was so highly acclaimed when it came out.
