Beautiful… it’s a shame my contact with this muse lasted so little… The connection dropped and all my amazement reminded me of the Mandacaru flower and its ephemeral beauty. It is a unique beauty, full of symbolism of resistance and hope; this beautiful flower blooms at night and withers in the first rays of sun… In the same way, I felt privileged to see Mandacaru. What brings hope to the people of the Sertão (Brazilian backlands) of feeling the rain again, brings to me, from the Southeast, the identical feeling that the storm will pass. ⛈️🌈🐦‍🔥🪽
