ENTANGLEMENT

Time and space creates an illusion that everything is separate from everything else; to the western mind, they are the “thing” over there. In Indigenous thought, that “thing over there” is a part of us, like family.

Nothing is static, nothing is disconnected, all is related, from sun, to moon, to earth, all created from the same elementary particles and interconnected through spirit.

In ceremony, we become spiritually and energetically entangled, from every interaction to every intention, prayer, and song. The drumming and singing entangles everything around it-bodies, minds, hearts, and spirits all move in unison. If you can hear the river, the river can hear you.
