IMPRESSIONS OF YELLOW CLOUD,
A NATIVE AMERICAN SHAMAN
"When I was quite young
I remember the elders
Talking about the

Shaman, Golden Sky,
Who was in a trance and
Walked unharmed through hot

Embers left from the
Council fire. To the eyes of
The unenlightened,

This is magic, a
Marvelous feat, so very
Incredible that

They are astonished
Even years later. Golden
Sky had said, 'Greater

Magic than this is
Performed by all who have
Been able to destroy

Their own patterns of
Belief. The greatest magic
Is in confronting

All fears squarely and
Completely. Such a person
Can walk on the sun.'"
