To love a woman, the mate must also love her wildish nature.

There is no one a wildish woman loves better than a mate who can be her equal.

Sometimes there are no words to help one's courage. Sometimes you just have to jump.

To be strong does not mean to sprout muscles and flex. It means meeting one's own numinosity without fleeing, actively living with the wild nature in one's own way. It means to be able to learn, to be able to stand what we know. It means to stand and live.

All creatures must learn that there exist predators. Without this knowing, a woman will be unable to negotiate safely within her own forest without being devoured. To understand the predator is to become a mature animal who is not vulnerable out of naivete, inexperience, or foolishness.

The only trust required is to know that when there is one ending there will be another beginning.
