To learn to see, to learn to hear, you must do this—go into the wilderness alone. Don Jose quoted by Joan Halifax.

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.

— Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Women Who Run With the Wolves
