Coming back to that never ending "moment"
when I was stripped bare
I became aware of the oil lamp
flickering light on the face of the woman
watching my eyes.
There was light and shadow on her face,
but the eyes shone brightly,
as if it had its own light to show me something.
A small room, neatly kept. bed on the floor,
I could see furs ~ yak fur or Himalayan bear fur?
~ My mind wondered.
Suddenly I got drawn to the woman again.
Watched her small feet
and became aware of a smell
I have not come across for many many years
~ yak dung smoldering in a corner of the room
in a large earthen pot..
Then she stepped forward and said something to me,
which I could not understand,
as the language was not known to me.
She knew and smiled.
She raised her finger in the sign of a Master
and I knew then that she is the Master for me
to learn the ways of Shamanism
that is much much older than the ones
I have been through so far.
I knelt in front of her.
She tipped my head up
with a finger under my chin.
The touch was warm and I could feel
something pulsing from her finger to me ~
she looked into my eyes and chanted Mantras,
the sound of which made me go back
to my memories of my Self.
With both hands she held my palms
and raised me on my feet and led me to the bed.
I saw her hands floating over my body
and I lost my self
in the sights and sounds of a Life
I have not remembered before.
An entrance to a cave shaded by a tree ~
large tree ~ hanging from the side of the mountain
and I saw my "self" ~ the body was different
~ but the "self" was the same as of now.
