"The original abandonment, the original abuse, the original horror has some reason and meaning in it. It is not senseless. It is not like being run down like a dog on the highway.
Its meaning most often is the development of tremendous strength, tremendous power, tremendous intuition.
And I will tell you frankly that most of the people who are the greatest healers living on the face of this earth are un-mothered children.
One of the great gifts of the un-mothered child,and also the healer, and the writer and the musician and all those in the arts who live so close with their ear against the heartbeat of the archetypal unconscious - one of their strongest aspects is intuition."
- Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes
