Universal Origins

Preachers, imams and wizards, 
all sleep, wake,
love, hate.

Witches, clerics and shamans
all eat, drink,
shit, piss.

Curanderas, priests and rabbis,
all live
and all die.

Gurus, healers, sinners,
all gain their power
from the same source.

    I learned a new word – curandera! It describes one of my husband’s great-grandmothers perfectly. People came from far and wide to ask her for healing and herbal remedies.
