Txucarramãe

“On the warrior’s path, it is up to you to discern which threads have been woven by divine hands and which have been woven by human hands. When you begin to discern the difference, you become a Txucarramãe -- a warrior without weapons. Threads woven by human hands are alive with traces of their spirit. These hands create all kinds of things. Our hands and thoughts create many things to defend ourselves from the external world. When you discover what you have been doing with your life and how it is you dance through the world, little by little you let go of your weapons, those creations made to kill creations. Suddenly, you discover that when we stop creating enemies, we extinguish the need for weapons.”

(Kaká Werá Jecupé)
