How Woodrow Became a Shaman
Woodrow was completely unprepared. At the edge of the forest was Pow-Wow, in the loneliest place, in the longest day, the whole village was there, and it was Woodrow's turn. Feeling the faces, fixed now like ghosts all upon him, he tried to drive out of his body, expecting an epiphanic inspiration.
It had become so quiet in the meadow, the Monarch butterflies stopped chewing, desisted from the beguilingly fragrant coconut blossoms of the bulbous silk plants. Silently they spun somewhat wery moist threads tart-green and spicy into the mulch beneath the moccasins. Helplessly Woodrow held his hands before his eyes, the village thinking he was trying to show them something, and now also paused in blind silence.
Then all warm and still and smoky the sacred woods and resins crept like tiny guaiac into the faces of the nature-loving spirits. They then dreamed of a distant fire, of sparks of cinnamon in a veil of balsam, a touch of dark vanilla. And all then believed to be tobacco, in a silent four-hour delusion, and smoked the sacred wood together, so Woodrow became a shaman.
