		<description><![CDATA[Shamanism &#8211; Extracted from Richard Shand
A Master of Ecstasy
&#8220;The word shaman comes to English from the Tungus language via Russian. Among the Tungus of Siberia it is both a noun and a verb.

Did you ever see something go wrong around you and suddenly burst out, “How on Earth did I create that?” Really, how can bad things happen, even to the sweetest, kindest, most spiritual people on the planet? Where’s the fairness in that? The root of the question lies partly in the fact that we live [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ohioeasy.wordpress.com&blog=4456784&post=1309&subd=ohioeasy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

A sip of fresh water after early spring rains
Smells of heavenly scented flowers wafting on the winds
