   Good stuff!

This was produced in 1979, but there is as much to recommend it as there is to date it. Lots of footage of her , with subtitles and English narration both. Sometimes Spanish narration as well. But the footage moves the entire time, and language barrier or not, there's plenty with which to get a sense.

Thanks!

She is one of my Faves!

It gets a little hokey in some places, but it is interesting seeing her. Looks like she had some anger towards her son. And when this was filmed, she wasn't feeling well, which comes through at times.

I am the woman who was born alone
I am the woman who fell alone
I am the woman who waits
I am the woman who seeks
I am the woman who looks inward
I am the woman who looks under the water
I am a sacred swimmer
because I can swim in greatness

I am the moon woman
I am the woman who flies
I am the meteor woman
I am the woman of the single (?) constellation
I am the woman of the king constellation
I am a star woman
gone
because I have gone to these places
since the beginning

I am the woman of the breeze
I am the woman of the fresh dew
I am the woman of dawn
I am the woman of twilight
I am the woman who proffers (?)
I am the woman who was uprooted
I am the woman who cries
I am the woman who whistles
I am the woman who makes noise
I am the woman who plays the drum
I am the woman who plays the trumpet
I am the woman who plays the violin
I am the woman who cheers
because I am the sacred cloud

I am the fung (?)-stone woman
I am a daylight woman
I am the woman who makes things revolve
I am the woman of heaven
I am the woman of good
I am a pure woman
I am the woman of spirit
because I can enter and I can leave
the kingdom of death

I am the woman who draws out
I am the woman who cleanses
I am the woman who cures
I am the woman who sets right
I am the woman of earth
I am the woman wise in language
because I am the woman wise in medicine

Lori (or anyone interested): if you have a chance, could you listen to the first segment? I took the above from listening to the narrator, but I'm not clear (?) on a couple of the words, demarked above with a (?).
