Devotion

(soundtrack: Robbie Robertson, "The vanishing breed")

 

"(...) Even so, the Spirit voices are singing,

their thoughts are dancing in the dirty air.

Their feet touch the cement, the asphalt delighting.

still they wave dreams upon our

shadowed skulls, if we could listen.

Let's go then. Let's find them.

Let's linten for the water,

the careful dreaming drops

that glisten on the leaves, the flowers.

Let's ride the midnight, the early dawn.

feel the wind striding through our hair.

Let's dance

the dance of feathers

the dance of birds".

 

(Paula Gunn Allen: "Kopis'taya, a Gathering of Spirits")
