Remembering Cat - April 10, 2008

Today I’m remembering “Cat” (Carol) who left us one year ago today.  She died on Walker’s birthday and all her friends believe that that was no coincidence.  I’ve included a poem written by her Shaman teacher which I received from Skylark.  Blessings to her in her new life.

 

 

REMEMBERING

Without words, 

Night speaks to the day,

The clouds with the Earth;

And the rocks of their birth.

Man uses many words

To hide his heart

From the Great-Spirit;

But the Heart remembers

Who created it.

The Voice of Spirit

Thunders over the deserts,

Echoes in the mountains

And rolls over broad waters...

The Heart remembers that Voice. 

 

Walker

    Bennett, none of us knew Walker except through Cat's writing. He passed away some year's before. He was a Shaman and her teacher. She studied with him about 10 years I believe. She was wise and made a lasting impression on me. Through her I have found a new, very dear friend in Skylark (Cat used to write of their times together and their experiences with Walker). In that way, Cat has continued to gift me.

    I didn't know Cat but I hope she is on a new journey now. I also wanted to say that I really liked the poem, Her words remind me of some of my paintings. Nature being the predominate theme...

    Erika I'm glad you liked the poem. I suspect that Druids and Shamans have a lot in common.

    Manley it doesn't seem possible that a year has gone by does it?
