I chose to be a shaman in the physical body to release the brutal part of myself, which found no understanding of the human soul. "Shamanic" would be my walk with you to teach our connection to the earth, the stars, the air and water...
Even after death, we are right here, next to you. We don't drift too far away from our loved ones, our family, our tribe. We stay close to you in case you need us. We stay close to you to guide you gently this way or that. Our hands slip into yours and say, "Come, this way. I will lead you safely."
