[UPDATE: Read Dr. E's most recent posts on The Moderate Voice.]

.

DR. CLARISSA PINKOLA ESTÉS has been a columnist for The Moderate Voice for more than a year, but I have not linked to her columns in any recent posts. I do not have a good reason for that, since she has much to say, and I enjoy her stories and analysis.

,

Her book Women Who Run With the Wolves was what informed me of her storytelling and therapist’s view of the world. From the day I found it (a few years after publication) until many months later, I read and reread the stories she told and her interpretations of their meanings. She is a wise voice in a world where we are too often lacking in wisdom.

,

This evening, I started looking back through the archives of her columns in TMV and began copying links to add to this page. The list became longer and longer.

.

The list below is not the complete body of Dr. Estes work on TMV, but it is a start. Visit The Moderate Voice to find more of her columns and to read the work of the other fine columnists.

.

DR. CLARISSA PINKOLA ESTÉS is a therapist, a story teller and a writer (among other things). In many of her columns on TMV, she tells stories and analyzes human behavior as it relates to current events in the USA and around the world.

.

Here are several paragraphs from one of her columns.

‘Barack is Not White, Barack is Not Black’ The Possible Gift in Being Bi-Racial

March 18th, 2008 by DR. CLARISSA PINKOLA ESTÉS, TMV Columnist two_men_lucian_freud.png

Barack is, like I am, like many others of us are–for lack of a more graceful word– we are Bi-racial. Cross-racial is probably a slightly better, but still awkward term. That is, we are born twinned: one of each of two or more races is inside us. The blood of often opposing groups, runs in our cells, our bloodlines. Barack’s mother was Caucasian. His father was an African from Kenya.

People who are bi-racial are never without their twin. Never. Our twin is both ‘other’ and ‘I” at the same time. It’s a potentially tempestuous but also often transformative situation… if we give ourselves to working out its puzzle over our lifetimes.

Above is a painting by the master of brushwork and figurative art, Lucien Freud. It speaks to me and to many others who are bi-racial, because as you see in the two men on the bed, we are in “a relationship we cannot leave,” a lifelong relationship with our, often historically adversarial, bloodlines.
