If you are passing through our land, you will have left your body behind. You will be feeling light as air. As you flow along, the scent of the earth will become sweeter and sweeter, and the flowers, more and more beautiful. The animals will rub their noses against you, the birds will circle around you, and the fish will raise their heads to look at you as you pass.

Neither rocks nor trees will block your path, here in the Land of Souls.
