A Night With a Shaman

On a northern night,
In an ojibway village.

The Shaman,
Shared his ceremonies,
With me.

He let me in,
On sacred secrets.

Not because,
I am native.
But,
Because,
I was worthy.

I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
