It has been a while since I have been here,
~Paah Wenchokws
Sacredly I enter the healing lodge
as Grandmother awaits
She beckons her granddaughter
to lay upon her sacred Mother
Grandmother, gently comforts
me, all knowing of my illness
She speaks to the Grandfather stones
the fire and the water
As I lay on my side, the coolness
of Mother comes up to me
Grandfather stones hot with the fire
sing as water is laid upon them
The ancient ones begin to blend together
into one
They circle above me, surround me
and lay upon me
Granddaughter they say keech-ee'-shon' hes?
Are you ready to release pain and suffering
My body gives and releases all that
there is to the Great Mother
rok cihm ku te nu mo nok
I trust the Spirits
My heart opens like a flower taking
in the healing of the elements
Breathing in the sacred steam I am
lulled into a deep rest
Sighing and almost cooing I am released
and reborn
...a healing has taken place...
