Am I your Cannibal Dancer?
Oh world, am I finally to finish this cannibal dance? For those not in the know. The Cannibal Dance was a practice amongst the Native American Tribes of the Northwest (i.e. Kwaikutl (sp?)) Almost like royalty the cannibal dancer came from particular families. When the selected member hit a certain age they were abandonned in the wild. They spent a year in complete isolation away from their tribe. Over the coarse of that year they usually forgot how to fully speak and became feral dangerous things that would attack other humans. They were allowed back into the community once a year under guard to perform their strange shaking erratic dances, pronounce their strange sentences on the world, and then were driven back into the wilds for another year.

What is going on with you? Exploring your dark side is a part of life BUT you need to have the ability in place to get outside yourself to do this...People care for you,your aunts,uncles,your grandma and your parents care for you,love you and want the best for you. EVERY DAY WE WORRY-HOPE AND WANT YOU TO HAVE ALL THE GOOD LIFE CAN BRING. EVERY TIME YOU HURT- WE HURT. THE ULTIMATE IN FINDING YOURSELF IS TO BE TRUTHFUL WITH YOURSELF AND ALLOW YOURSELF TO HAVE COMPASSION FOR YOURSELF. INDIAN VISION QUESTS WERE DESIGNED TO ENHANCE THE SOUL IN THE SEEKER- NOT TAKE IT AWAY. THE NEGATIVE EMOTIONS THAT YOU FEEL THE NEED TO DEMONSTRATE IN YOURSELF OR IN YOUR ART JUST SHOWS ME YOUR LONELINESS AND LONGING. WHEN YOU WERE 6 WEEKS OLD YOUR SOUL WAS VISIBLE TO ME AND IT IS A GOOD SOUL AND WATCHING YOU GROW FROM CHILD TO A YOUNG WOMAN WITH ALL THE GOOD AND THE BAD TIMES THAT SURROUNDED YOU; TOLD ME OF YOUR STRENGHS, HUMOR, COMPASSION, PERSEVERENCE and the fact that you could always pick yourself up and get going again is who you are; EVERY THING THAT YOU ARE IS THERE. HAVE FAITH & TRUST IN YOURSELF. TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION "Am I your cannibal dancer?" You are my daughter who danced for the joy of dancing. I have a question for you What would Groucho Marx say if he saw you today? MOM
