The Wu Of You
"We rise to heaven and brush away the comets." said a Shamaness in her song.
A freckled path -
To be followed
From
Point to point,
Each point
A
Place,
In itself,
A graceful face
To
Face:
Emanations of radiations,
Arrived,
Ever onward
You
Strived,
[As above
So below]
The freckles form constellations
Like
The Pace of Wu,
Ceremony below -
To ascend
Above,
In this,
The beauty beyond all things,
A kiss,
To wish me into a see
&
A sea.
Eternity

Wu=Shaman in ancient Chinese.
The Pace of Wu=A dance where the constellation, Orion,
is fashioned on the ground and a ritual dance is performed,
whereby the shaman enters an ecstatic state and travels to the stars.
Such a ritual is present, poly culturally and across history.
(There were both male and female Shaman, in fact, there was a tomb of a female Shaman, discovered in China, which contained 25 lbs of cannabis.)
Honestly that made me want to be buried with some fine craft cannabis.
