Gathering the Bones
In her book, Women Who Run With The Wolves, Jungian analyst Clarissa Pinkola Estes tells the story of La Loba, the bone gatherer, the old woman who gathers the bones of the wolf and when she has gathered each bone and the skeleton is complete, the wolf begins to flesh out and as it reclaims its life and moves out into the world it turns into a woman who runs free across the desert, her many colored hair flowing behind her.
