Mamma Tuta Danced

Rose Galaxy

In the beginning was Mamma Tuta, the dark, the void. Then Mamma Tuta began to dance, and as she danced the stars streamed out of her elbows, out of her knees, out of her breasts, out of her womb, and as she danced the stars were strewn across the universe.

Barefoot in the Mountains

The High Andes

Photo by Oakley Gordon

There is a song sung in Quechua by the women of the high Andes.  It begins like this:

“I walk without shoes in the mountains.  My bare feet touch the mountain.  The mountain takes pleasure in knowing my body.”

This beautiful world-view is reflected in a quote from the book Masters of the Living Energy, by Joan Parisi Wilcox.  ‘Andeans are born into a world that they believe is as conscious of them as they are of it.’
