Shamanic Performance

Will once said it well, all the world is a stage.

Shamanism is performance,

Shamanism is play.

Shamans are dancing the cosmic dance.

And here I am, medicine acting on me in the place I first acted.

First smoke. First kiss.

Remember my lines and remember to shine. For around us all is beauty, and within us only stars.

All the world is a stage,

And Shamans are playing ourselves.
