Casimiro

Don Casimiro

Casimiro's grandchildren.

Our greatest privilege during our visit to the jungle was the opportunity to meet Casimiro Mamallacta. He is a "yachak," or a "shaman" and speaks primarily Kichwa. He received us with much kindness and respect.

"Take away all doubts, all fears, and only your spirit remains: pure love; that is as close to our Creator as we can be." ~Ed Moses

"It is the same for all men. None of us can escape this shadow of the father, even if that shadow fills us with fear, even if it has no name or face. To be worthy of that man, to prove something to that man, to exorcise the memory of that man from every corner of our life—however it affects us, the shadow of that man cannot be denied." ~Kent Nerburn

"The first thing I learned was respect for all things, because everything has a spirit." ~Ed Moses

"My religion starts from the heart." ~Ed Moses

"Songs made from dreams hold their power forever. Any power given in a dream is a gift from the spirit to help the people." ~Ed Moses

"A daughter is a gift of love." ~Author Unknown

"My Daughter has made the darkness in my heart light up brighter than I ever thought possible. My Daughter gives me a reason to live and try each and every day. I cannot thank our Lord enough for blessing me with her. And as blessings come, so do disappointments. There are trials and rewards throughout everyone's life. My Daughter had helped me through the most difficult times of my life. I can only pray she will allow me to be there for hers." ~Georgene Maciolek
