MAYBE SOME WOMEN AREN'T MEANT TO BE TAMED.

MAYBE THEY NEED TO RUN FREE UNTIL THEY FIND SOMEONE JUST AS WILD TO RUN WITH.

I love this quote from Sex and the City. Every young woman should have this posted on their wall so they don't sell themselves short and get hooked up with a man who doesn't have the same energy and wildness that they do. I love the idea of women's wildness, I love the title of Estes's book Women Who Run With The Wolves. I feel that wildness and wish there was somewhere for it to go. I feel surrounded by people who are so uptight and oppressed. I feel full of passion but don't know what to do with it. Don't you just want to scream sometimes - WAKE UP EVERYBODY. I have just finished reading a book called Footprints in the Sand by Sarah Challis. Two cousins set off on a journey to scatter their Great Aunts ashes in the desert in Africa. While they are travelling they notice that the European people are so uptight and as they get closer to Africa and have African people in the plane with them they find them full of life and wearing clothes of beautiful colours. India is like that too. Beautiful, colourful art and clothing. I love going to Little India (I was there on Thursday) because of all the beautiful fabrics and saris and the mens clothing is so beautiful too. I think crazy qujilting will be a good outlet for this passion for colour and texture. I love collage as well for that reason.

I don't know where I'm going with this, I just feel all of this energy that needs expression. Where will it go I wonder?

THOSE IMAGES

Seek those images

that constitute the wild,

the lion and the virgin,

the harlot and the child.

Find in middle air

an eagle on the wing.

Recognize the fire

That make the Muses sing.

William Butler Yeats
