AMARU

And into the forest he goes, barefoot, with a splendid blue macaw by his side towards the layers of the rainforest. A swirl of butterflies follows them through the sky, the green leaves whirly softly and the forest sings loud. He picks the nuts from the floor and offers them to the river; he greets the giant palm trees and the blue macaw flies from shoulder to shoulder. He is a guardian. He is from within. He belongs. The little Amaru, the piece of heaven the rainforest waited for.
