The Great Sea

The great sea
Has sent me adrift
It moves me
As the weed in a great river
Earth and great weather
Move me
Have carried me away
And move my inward parts with joy.

Song of Uvanuk, an Inuit woman shaman

Stand Still…

Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you
Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here,
And you must treat it as a powerful stranger,
Must ask permission to know it and be known.
The forest breathes. Listen. It answers,
I have made this place around you.
If you leave it, you may come back again, saying Here.
No two trees are the same to Raven.
No two branches are the same to Wren.
If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you,
You are surely lost.
Stand still. The forest knows
Where you are.
You must let it find you.

“Lost” by David Wagoner
