“There was a brief moment after 9/11 when Colin Powell said we "should not rush to satisfy the desire for revenge."

“Before she is an individual, a shaman is foremost a vehicle for receiving and expressing the grief and indignation of the people within society. The otherworldly strength that you see during a gut is the raging effort to forget and overcome the weakness of the self and is possible because it bears all the wrath and indignation of the people against oppression.
