"That’s no answer. You know better. You’re a shaman. You’ve been through the ordeals. You didn’t attain the power of an initiate without being able to face the pain. You won’t get anywhere if you can’t face the pain. You know that. Pain is part of the world and you have to face it at its worst. That’s why attuning yourself to people is so important. The pain of mother earth is great, but what’s that compared to the pain of people, and the pain inside yourself? What greater pain is there than the pain you’re feeling right now?"
