		<description>I think it&#039;s harder to feel that connection with other people, if they do not have a strong connection with Nature themselves. I have felt the isolation (from certain others) and think it seems to increase as I get older. I&#039;m there with them, but I can&#039;t be truly myself with many of them (co-workers, neighbors) even though I do like them, so there is a distance or barrier there. I feel a nameless longing for a tribe of my own.

I found comfort in re-reading Women Who Run With the Wolves, and re-affirming that my wild spirit is alive and well, even though I&#039;m rather a chameleon in society!

I just surfed in and discovered your interesting site. There are lots of ravens in the rural northern area where I live. Our woodland is like a sanctuary.</description>
