At the mercy of mother nature, I was glad, therefore, that we had followed the shamanistic ritual of asking for nature’s protection, before we set off, by banging on this massive drum followed by walking close-wise around it three times. We also tied a ribbon on a tree branch for protection from Sasha’s father, just for extra measures. Better to be safe than sorry! Out there, mother nature rules and she is unforgiving. But Sasha makes it look easy. Like all Evenks, he is at ease in the face of the eeriness and loneliness of nature and makes us feel like it’s his backyard. It might seem like a hard life fighting for survival and living in solitude but it a place where you can truly find yourself. I already miss the snow and its peacefulness.
