For all I know is, how we move, how we walk, how we breathe, how we stand is who we are... Who we are is a collection of personal interpretations of experiences we collect into our physical and non-physical-selves. Our physical movements create three dimensional patterns in the ether,air. As I know, how we move is who we are, it means we create patterns of who we are in that particular moment of space and time, because we are also in continuous change and growth.

T relex Amazon Residency Reflections, I could write two posts to describe the amazing space that Trelex Amazon and Rainforest Expeditions provided for us, one for Refugio and one for TRC (Tambopata Research Centre.)
