Beautiful piece, the part about the snakes resonated. Reminds me how in Quechua culture snakes are spiritual guides that connect worlds in their cosmovision. Very much the opposite of snakes in Western culture. The glasses matter so much.
YES -- the glasses, they make us see illusions instead of reality. And I didn't even think about Western culture --Christianity -- and their view of the snake as evil. Good point.
