The arch of sky and mightiness of storms
Have moved the spirit within me,
Till I am carried away
Trembling with joy.
Uvavnuk, Inuit shaman woman
What is life? it is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.
Crowfoot (1821-1890) Blackfoot Indigenous American
The great sea
Has sent me adrift
It moves me
As the weed in a great river
Earth and the great weather
Move me
Have carried me away
And move my inward parts with joy.
Uvavnuk, Inuit shaman woman
