Pai Lobo
“Within all of us is the spirit, true.
But it lies within the meat. It pulses in the blood.
It caresses the bone and coils around the heart.
They tell you the spirit is what we were,
that it defines what we can be.
But listen to your own breath and your own heartbeat,
feel the heat that rises in you
and you know that everything you are now
is the flesh and the blood.
You are a beast of mortal flesh and natural hunger. Live.”
