A description of the experience
Cilliwack Indians – The Beginning of the World
From Native American Wisdom [Sacred texts]
Long long ago
Before anything was
Saving only the heavens
From the seat of his golden throne
The Sun-god looked out on the Moon goddess
And found her beautiful
Hour after hour
With hopeless love
He watched the spot where at evening
She would sometimes come out to wander
Through her silver garden
In the cool of the dusk
For he sent his gaze across the heavens
Until the time came, one day
When she returned his look of love
And she too sat lonely
Turning eyes of wistful longing
Towards her distant lover
Their thoughts of love and longing
Seeking each other
Met halfway
Mingled
Hung suspended in space
Thus: the beginning of the world ….
