The first thing I want to say about this picture is, it does not begin to do justice to what I was seeing. Being out of shape, smoking two packs of cigarettes a day, thinking I was going on a easy 3 mile hike, I cannot tell you how tired I was when I reached this point. After resting for 5 or 10 minutes I was still out of breath when I walked out to the edge of the point. With each step as I got closer to the edge my body was getting lighter, my breathing was getting easier. As I stood at the edge where Hopi Shamans and Star Elders had trained for eons, looking out at the fantastic view I had an overwhelming desire. I thought that I could fly or simply walk right off the point without any fear. As I stood there my hands started to vibrate, they felt like I was holding onto a chainsaw or lawnmower. As I raised my eyes toward the Heavens without any thought to do so, my hands raised above my head as if I was praising our Creator. At that time I felt a strange pulling in my chest or solar plexis. As I stood there I felt all of the negative feelings and emotions that was in me, being pulled out. I could not help but smile. My life was changed forever. I had began the journey that I had been looking for all my life.
Like many people I had searched for the truth and purpose of my life, in religon, in heros, in other cultures, etc. etc. etc. But here thinking that I had come to learn of the Hopi Shamans, I found myself.
Every time I tell this story my hands start to tingle and as I look
up I can feel the negative still being pulled out of me. The main thing that
this has taught me is I am me and I DO make a difference.
