Delightful description mixing scientific observation and artistic impression. Perhaps the Jungle does know of its Beauty? We can't say for sure other than we homo sapiens do not think so or have any way to measure it. My place of peace involves anywhere there are birds.

Thank you so much, I’m glad you enjoyed! And that’s very true- I’d like to think that it does. And I definitely resonate with that, I only got into birding in the last couple of years but it is truly wonderful. If you don’t mind me asking, do you have a favourite bird?

Too many birds I adore to have a singular favourite. I do, however, live with my avian dinosaur companion, Arya the Cockatiel. He is amazing and beautiful. I love him dearly.🦜🕊🐦

Great piece, makes me want to go to the rainforest. For me peaceful places usually feature water—streams, oceans, etc—so i appreciate water being a central element here. Thank you for writing.

what a wonderful description of your experiences in the rain forest - water is indeed a mirror and something we who live in busy cities forget - thank you again, Amaranta for another great insight of our natural world
