ANTHROPOLOGISTS ARE OFTEN CALLED UPON to record those cultural realities that they observe among a particular group of people whom they are studying. Seldom, however, do they record how they came to realize and experience those realities, nor do they acknowledge what effect they may have had on their own cultural perceptions. Anthropologists working with California Indian societies have often noted the spiritual maintained by these people. This balance is a trait shared by people throughout the world, especially members of hunting and gathering societies. In Native California, spiritual balance remains a cultural reality among traditionalists. This paper is a short story that seeks to present a single example of this balance, how it was realized by the author, and what implications it might have for the modern world
