VA6, Ep. 5 Rat snakes eat themselves. There’s got to be a better way to quench the soul’s hunger.

Episode 5 spirals like the body of a snake. Like life itself, in fact. I begin by sharing my favorite origin myth for Victorias Amazonicas, in order to summon warrior spirits and voices in defense of children. Next week, UNICEF once again invites us all to remember and advocate for the International Declaration of the Rights of the Child, every single child. Then, these sacred seeds lead us back to Chiribiquete, where I tell you about a festival that is held once a year in the Amazon, Yuruparí, which honors life’s eternal rebirth and the crucial interactions of opposing forces. I conclude by sharing a reflection about my fatal flaw, and the invitation to transform our vulnerabilities into creative acts of assertion of the power of each life and unique voice.
