“THE GREAT SEA ...”
By Uvavnuk
The great sea
frees me, moves me,
as a strong river carries a weed.
Earth and her strong winds
move me, take me away,
and my soul is swept up in joy.
—Translated by Jane Hirshfield
Uvavnuk, untitled shaman song, translated by Jane Hirshfield, from Women in Praise of the Sacred
