The Plant:
In all of our Pharmako/Poeia, this plant is the hidden pearl. Poets, like vintners, love such
surprises, and seek them out beyond their better known brothers and sisters: an unknown poet
found in a faded chapbook with light in his verses, an obscure vintage the reviewers missed,
dust-covered, but filled with mouthfuls of delight. The little leaves, hiding off in the mountains,
have successfully avoided the front pages for four centuries.
A Taoist sage, in another range of mountains, after many years of studying
the secrets of alchemy with his master, feeling fully accomplished,
descended the mountain to move into the world. When evening approached,
he stopped at an inn. The people at the inn marveled at the light that
seemed to hover about him--a sort of magical glow. The sage was
chagrined, realizing that his studies were only half completed, and returned
immediately to his teacher.
To visit the hojas de la Pastora is to visit an oracle, and she should be approached with the
same reverence.
