Becoming More Conscious

The more conscious we become, the more we see the games that other people play and their sins and manipulations, but we’re also more conscious of their burdens and sorrows. –Scott Peck

The psychological truth in “The Red Shoes” is that a woman’s meaningful life can be pried, threatened, robbed or seduced away from her unless she holds on to or retrieves her basic joy and wild worth. The tale calls our attention to traps and poisons we too easily take onto ourselves when we are caught in a famine of wild soul.
