Bone by bone, hair by hair, Wild Woman comes back. Through night dreams, through events half understood and half remembered.
We are all filled with a longing for the wild. There are few culturally sanctioned antidotes for this yearning. We were taught to feel shame for such a desire. We grew our hair long and used it to hide our feelings. But the shadow of Wild Woman still lurks behind us during our days and in our nights. No matter where we are, the shadow that trots behind us is definitely four-footed.
The wild woman is fluent in the language of dreams, images, passion, and poetry.
