hunger

wakes mama bear

from her slumber

is it pain

is it desire

is it the razor edge between them

that draws us forth 

from suspension 

into differentiation

into the cold

into the quest

toward the sun’s light

hunger

wakes us from deep sleep

it is pain

it is desire

hunger carries us 

from dream visions

into manifestation

it is time fuel the fire

hunger

propels us toward creation

Hunger is the fourth and final installment of the Bear Medicine Initiation series. It begins with a steady, insistent knocking at the cave door. The dreamy voices of the ancestors are suddenly awake, dancing around the fire, conjuring the material realm through their famished wails and distant chanting. There is contemplation, a moment of pause before gathering the strength to emerge into the light. 

Spiral Muse creates music devoted to the awe inspiring power of the Sacred Mother. We write and produce songs of praise, protest and healing, centering around Goddess and women’s lived experiences. The Bear Medicine Series is a solo project by Spiral Muse singer, songwriter, drummer and guitarist Dionne Kohler whose channeled voices and rhythms invite us into different dimensions of consciousness.
