Men and Women

I sent the following quote to my husband, in an email yesterday.  I thought it might help him to understand me better when I am feeling creative and inspired.
'It may also be that a woman's creative process is misunderstood or disrespected by those around her. It is up to her to inform them that when she has "that look" in her eyes, it does not mean she is a vacant lot waiting to be filled. It means she is balancing a big cardhouse of ideas on a single fingertip, and she is carefully connecting all the cards using tiny crystalline bones and a little spit, and if she can just get it all to the table without it falling down or flying apart, she can bring an image from the unseen world into being.'
~ Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Women Who Run With the Wolves

This was his thoughtful and eloquent response, "Me Tarzan, you Jane."
I think that pretty much explains our entire relationship!

On another note, I have fallen sadly behind on the photo a day Flickr group for Unravellers.  I have not forgotten to take the photos, in fact I have more than enough for each day.  I have just failed thus far at posting them to the group. I thought i would have time this week to post them, since the kids are out of school for "ski-week."  But, the kids are out of school, which means that i have done alot of mommying and entertaining.  So I have have many beautiful images of our daily excursions.  Horseback riding, touring the San Juan Mission, park visits, shopping, lunch dates.....

I will put them online tonight.
