hymn to diversity and multiplicity - to be read very slowly in a whisper (dedicated to a special liana whom an angel once called ayahuasca)
"once when i as in amazonia, in those flooded forests where the water sometimes rises forty-five feet in a season, it was as though we were in a forested sea. around the trunks lianas wound and cling like writhing serpents in a convulsive effort to reach the top. in this struggle for life and quest for light appear the most varied forms of life." roberto burle marx, preface to margaret mee in search of flowers of the amazon forests
wound up - anxious, worried, or excited i was too wound up to sleep longman's dictionary of of contemporary english
na selva profunda nao se dorme toda a noite (in the jungle deep you don't sleep all night)
cling - to hold someone or something tightly, especially because you do not feel safe. some children tend to cling their first day at school longman's dictionary of contemporary english
e na selva a vida e sempre o fragil primeiro dia na escola da liberdade espelhando o caminho rumo a eternidade (and in the jungle life is always that fragile first day at the school of liberty mirroring the way to eternity).
you are the trunk around which the serpent wounds and clings rising and falling with the tides ever more deeply inside and around you
"to seek out a plant, bring it from its obscurity and reveal it to those who are inspired by nature, is a true discovery. each plant is a mystery whose laws challenge us; whose reason for life, whose preferences, dislikes and interrelationships should give us a better understanding of the world in which we live. (...) our wonderful heritage, the gift of life." roberto burle marx, preface to margaret mee in search of flowers of the amazon forests
