Rivers Life

‘Rivers are visible veins 

There are underground Rivers

and flying Rivers.

Rivers as arrows of memory

Neurotransmitters 

Rivers Mycelia Neurons

Rivers are not Rivers, they are us

They are everything.

They are Earth's body evident signs

Seeing brings the sight.

The Earth's skin is the sky.’

*** Anna Dantes, Puerto Berrio, 

 Colombia - May/2024 ***

Os rios são as veias da Terra, são espíritos que caminham serpenteando, deslizando entre pedras e águas cristalinas. Brotam de montanhas antigas e acariciam nossas peles com a possibilidade da vida. Pelos quatro cantos do mundo e ao longo da história, humanos não souberam respeitar a existência dos rios. Mudaram seus percursos, contaminaram seus corpos com dejetos de mineração, agrotóxicos e lixo – muito lixo.

Today, children are thinking about it and, above all, they are feeling the harsh consequences of the bruises in the deep layers of the Earth. Through their sensitivity, they are mediating conflicts between worlds and times, aiming to regenerate links with their ancestral territories.

One possible way that has been emerging is to feel and think about the river, in the face of all its wounds and complexities. And then sing to, talk to and listen to the river's profound messages. These are challenges that sensitive beings are managing to achieve.

Caminhando nas margens do Rio Madalena em Puerto Berrio, na Colômbia, no início de maio, recordei memórias antigas de crianças brincando e plantinhas brotando nas margens dos rios do mundo. Me conectei com o sagrado Guaíba lá no Rio Grande do Sul, cansado, machucado com toda a confusão humana, e algo ressoou em mim em forma de canção….

 

                    Yxyry Porã Mbaraete 

                    Yxyry Porã Mbaraete 

                     Yxyry reo Para Guaxu aguã.

                     Yxyry reo Para Guaxu aguã.

A song for the beautiful Rio Madalena, Guaíba, Taquari, Rio Doce and Paraopeba.

As montanhas são como avózinhas – nos abraçam e nos protegem. Muitas águas brotam do alto das montanhas, por isso elas têm profundas conexões com os rios que deságuam no mar.

They are paths!

Rivers, Mountains and Children

Beings who teach us.

We need to listen more

And respect the lives of these sacred beings!
