Quotes by Paul Francis (?)

“Wetiko is a parasitic spirit or thought-form. It is highly destructive and is motivated by greed, selfishness and excessive consumption. It infects people like a virus, literally possessing them. Once it has taken hold of someone, it deludes them into thinking that consuming the life-force and energy of others for self-aggrandisement or profit is a natural and admirable way to live, and steers them into living a predatory and parasitic lifestyle; essentially, cannibalising other people and the planet.”
― Paul Francis, The Shamanic Journey: A Practical Guide to Therapeutic Shamanism

“one small thing
I've learned these years,

how to be alone,
and at the edge of aloneness
how to be found by the world.”
