The Traveling Plant: Preparatory Logbook

People were asked, in a caring hosting tradition, to tell the plant what it could expect to experience and to discover along its journey, what and whom (humans and other than humans) it may encounter. Choose a contributor in the menu (v) or browse by following the arrows < >

« Slow », Ines Montalvao

You are arriving to a land that is a poem. Here, you will find… quietness. When surrounded by silence you will be able to hear even better, sounds that feel as a vibration within. You will come across other travellers, who are not searching for home or trying to reach a destination. These creatures move slow and their journey is smooth like words in the wind. This poem is their home and home is their body. In quietness, they will show you this land that you now arrive to, they will whisper to you and welcome you. They will share with you that wherever you are at, you are home. This land, it is now your poem.
