Hello, Sarah,
I am very sad for what happened to my brother. I heard that my brother, my yatsuro was attacked by a bear. Sarah, David left a legacy here in the Amazonia. We met in Kapawi Lodge, we met in yage when I was 26 year old. We met in Kapawi for 3 more times and here at home 3 more. Sarah, I feel very sad for your pain. We send you a strong spiritual power, energy for you. Shaam and I lived alike. Now you have a brother of Shaam here in the Ecuadorian Amazonia. I will never forget him. This plant is the guayusa; we had guayusa together every morning. That memory will never leave my heart and my mind. I am tearful, Sarah. Losing my brother is like losing an arm or half of my body. I will always encourage you…He left you two kids, Arutam and Nunkui Nua. Take care of them, they are your responsibility. Arutam will be with you. Shaam is gone but his spirit remains with you. He came here; he touched me and said “Hello, Kistupa”. I wanted to hold him, Sarah. But I couldn’t. I hope he rests in peace. He always helped me; economically, in my sickness, for my kids. I am always grateful. He is in heaven with Arutam. My wife and I, we send you a bigh hug. I don’t want this connection with you to end. If you want to visit when covid ends, come.
