Poetry
by Jonathan Schwartz
The 1998 conference logo features Huaricuari, the Huichol Deer Spirit, Spirit of the Dance of the Heart, Deer Dance. These couple of words were inspired by the deer around the Pathwork Center in Phoenicia where Alec Rubin and Joe Raiola conduct primal workshops several times a year.
Sun's tears
flowing into this valley
draws me to the carver.
Only...
my heart
Only my heart
responds to the pull of the flow
We walk
We breathe
with stone
with green
and with you huaricuari
you - deer spirit
Oh Huaricuari!
Let me hear with your ear antennae
Let me respond as you do:
Wordless,
with grace
and with nothing but instinct
This poem appeared in the Summer 1998 IPA Newsletter.
