hymn to diversity and multiplicity - from the dephts of the rainforests' wellsprings of life
    #5580427 - 05/02/06 05:40 AM (17 years, 8 months ago)

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 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

"e sempre o fragil primeiro via"

it is actually portuguese. but portuguese was greatly influenced by latin, so you're not far from the truth.
