we were not born into this world to do extraordinary things. but rather, to do human things. to cherish beauty and love people. to run through the woods and drink from sweet cool lakes. to bite into ripe strawberries and count the sparkling stars. to give comfort to those who hurt and need. to laugh loudly, cry deeply. to fill notebooks and canvases– to dream and tell stories and create wondrous life. to live. and in living, we will have done something completely human, something completely unique and beautiful.

Some of you may not know, but the Pantanal is burning. Pantanal is the world’s biggest tropical wetlands and most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet. It is the home of the biggest sanctuary for the Onça Pintada/Jaguar (Panthera onca). This area is the most damaged by fire in 2020, losing 15% of the biome to the flames.
So, we need your help, please donate:

Para los que ya no son.
El arte es para consolar a aquellos que están rotos por la vida.

I pray to gods unknown
I tell them my truest name and form
I speak them my mind, my body
How my hands are worn
I spit them the blood I once bore
I hear the green talking back to me
The answer of the forest
Only for my eyes to see
Unyielding voices of the dark
Searching for my aching bones
My chest open like a wound
Legs unmoving, hands closed
I hear my name in the rustling leaves
An ancient tongue I will never speak
Unforgiving deities reclaim my life
I am to be one with the nature
That's their last command
