the people start to gather
the priestess hold water bowls
chanting they collect
the light of earth and heaven
they let the energy flow
through the people
they drink the energy loaded water
a preparation for the ascent
into higher worlds
they feel the liquid
run through their body
and know assumada has come
the valley is filled
with an iridescent glow
out of the singing rises
a pillar of sound and fuses
with the descending pillar of light
they were blind and now can see
in the state of higher consciousness
they set out on their spiritual path
