your first is when you learn
how to create your own canoe
how water(steam)and fire blend
to make wood(bark)pliable to your will
next canoe is elemental-to water
where you trust your creation will float like Lotus
capable of sustaining your own life's weight
Third canoe floats as one
to seek sustenance and nurturing
Fourth is connection,when all you see is part of you
Fifth is when you bring it home to share
Sixth is when you exaggerate stories about your visionquest
Seventh when these stories /songs are repeated/amended
Eighth is when you hear them again ,and re-learn the Art of Canoe
Ninth is when you change-design,purpose,aim,intention
Tenth is when you teach others how to make their own canoe
Eleventh is your ghost canoe-all that lives beyond your lifespan
floating in the lake like a Lotus,like an empty canoe
