Well, Bridget has done it again, but (of course) I'm not surprised. I have long liked Tulsi Gabbard, and now, thanks to Bridget and her excerpts from "Sexual Personae," I better understand why. If Gabbard continues on her trajectory of standing on her own two feet, fiercely wedded to her intuition, she may well become a living, breathing example of "La Que Sabe," the One Who Knows, the Old Woman who "stands between the worlds of rationality and mythos," as Clarissa Pinkola Estes tells us in "Women Who Run with the Wolves," and God knows that we desperately need someone to reconnect us to mythos, as we are drowning in rationality.

Thank you! I was also thinking of Estes when I wrote this.
