I never knew the shamans
Of the Sami
Traditionally journeyed
To the Upper World
In a sleigh pulled
By reindeer I hear
It was to see to it
That the sun returns from its
Darkest point to bring
The gifts of light and life
to the world
And talking of the sun
If the outer
Is a perfect reflection
Of the inner
As the sages
Have taught down the ages
Then doesn`t it beg the question
What is the root cause
Of suffering
For each and everyone one, bar none
Of us?
Merry Christmas!

Well Mutley what coincidence is this that we write about something so similar today. Nicely written and a Merry Christmas to you
Must be something in the air!
Merry Christmas Soren.
And a Merry Christmas to you as well
My friend, this blends myth, philosophy, and seasonal ritual without overexplaining any of it. You let the story carry the question, and the question linger after the greeting. A thoughtful, quietly unsettling Christmas offering. Love it! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thanks for taking the time to read and comment, Tristan. A Merry Christmas to you!
