Is it formulae, schemas, lexicons? It could be. But also, and often more so, I think it is very like the flowering of the trees in the forest, as we gather more years: we straggle and stride onward in our better learned ways to give out even more seeds for new life, and to blossom wildly in so doing for self and others … The old ones are yet traveling underground and overland toward us as we meet one more time: \u003cem\u003eLa Vidente\u003c\/em\u003e, the Seer; \u003cem\u003eLa Que Sabe\u003c\/em\u003e, the Knowing Woman; \u003cem\u003eLa Levantadora\u003c\/em\u003e, the Lifter of Curses—the Dangerous Old Woman in her many likenesses calls to you to 'get down to business.'” —Clarissa Pinkola Estés, PhD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"prod_para\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eHow to Be an Elder\u003c\/em\u003e presents the culmination of Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés' masterwork, inviting us to “come into our own as wiser and wild souls” through six sessions of teachings, stories, poetry, and blessings.
