A man alive in two worlds one earthly, one spiritual through him the spirits speak and the people seek guidance A man apart due to his gift yet integral to his people’s lives both stranger and guiding father a shaman lives a dual existence His body walks upon this earth his being flies the spirit world’s skies both simple man and spirit eagle he stands astride the great divide His people in need, questioning he fasts, then dances before the fire seeking answers in the vision quest his wings once again unite his worlds Shaman’s spirit soars high into the sky freed from his confining earthly body piercing eagle eyes see another reality witness to the spirit world’s higher truths Shaman returns from his flight of visions to share knowledge and answers found guide his people in the way of the spirits that they may live in the proper manner Inspired by Jeff Bedrick's "Shaman's Flight" Copyright © Shadowy Poet/E.D.Q. 2001 Main Page
