Jamie Sams
These are the lessons of being human, being vulnerable, and seeking wholeness with all that is. They are part of the pathway to power. The power lies in the wisdom and understanding of one’s role in the Great Mystery, and in honouring every little thing as a teacher. The lessons taught are eternal and forever forthcoming. If the learning is over, so is the magic and the life.
Jamie Sams, Medicine Cards: The Discovery of Power Through the Ways of Animals
