In the quiet moments when I am with my own company I am still flooded with journeys.
The feel of the air here at the Ashram takes me back to last year when I was in Borneo. I enjoy the sensation of everything sticking to me here and I find myself walking through the Rain Forest again. The life wrapped itself around me and I felt a lush dampness from my mother. Her whole body aches and moves with the pain inflicted upon her but I found those places where she breathed as if her body was being massaged, soothed. Always though I feel her heart grieving.
Leeches.. they come to mind when I retrace my steps beside the waters of the Rain forest. I asked Tunkasila once about them, wondering why they had been created, silly I know but I have questions about many things that could be considered so. The best answer came not from God but from a particularly connected woman (maybe not exact word for word)..
" Why be afraid of these leeches when we live in a world full of them?"
...yes the world is full of parasites and leeches, some hide behind smiles, generous offerings and spiritual adornments. Some don't hide at all and in all truth the ways of man have led societies to devour upon each other and Unci Maka our Mother. So yes, why fear the leeches of the Rain Forest? I received my own personal blessing from one and to be honest I was grateful for the experience, another connection made
