Shamanic Voices: The Great Sea

From Shamanic Voices
Joan Halifax

A ball of fire came down out of the sky and struck Uvavnuk senseless. When she regained consciousness, the spirit of light was within her… And when she sang, all those present were loosed from their burden of sin and wrong; evil and deceit vanished as a speck of dust blown from the hand! And this was her song:

The great sea has set me in motion,
Set me adrift,
Moving me as the weed moves in a river
The arch of sky and mightiness of storms
Have moved the spirit within me,
Till I am carried away
Trembling with joy.
