Ok, now this story is shaking my beliefs and I need to share.
I heard it last night after an ayahuasca ceremony, as the group sat in a circle around a bonfire, for singing and story-telling.
This extended setting after the ceremony is just an hour or so, to make sure everyone is sober to arrive home safely.
I couldn't forget this story in particular, it was told by a midaged woman, about her younger sister.
Her sister once had a boyfriend.
They lived a happy relationship at early twenties, bout 3 years long, planning to get married and so on.
As you are probably thinking, yes, it was too good to be true and the man died.
A cliche story so far as I also thought, but she carried on with it.
After suffering a lot for some time, she was invited to drink ayahuasca, hoping to feel acceptance.
So during an aya ceremonie, she "received" a message from an entity.
Saying that someone loved her so much, that was trying to find a way back to her.
Some days later she was raped by a drunk man, and got pregnant from the act.
She couldn't get rid of the baby and decided to have it no matter what.
A boy was born and she raised him alone.
The sisters visited each other often for support, and once they where seeing an album of the couple, on their loving years.
The child was playing, passed by them and saw the picture of the man for the first time, on his mothers hands.
For their surprise he said:
"Look mommy, that's me when I was older. Yes, that's me."
Smiled at her and continued to play.
No one knew what to say as the woman shut.
Passed a minute or so of silence.
