É possível dizer que os seres humanos sabem da importância das plantas por as empregarem em diversas atividades diárias como na alimentação, nas construções, no paisagismo, na medicina, nos usos terapêuticos e etc. No entanto, pouco percebem, ou se dão conta, que as plantas são fontes de vida extremamente generosas; elas propiciam a vida de outros seres vivos. Por essa perspectiva, este trabalho busca argumentar a necessidade de ampliar nossa relação com as plantas e de inventar outros modos de contato, mais profundos, com os seres vegetais, a fim de provocar outras percepções a respeito da complexidade desses seres. Assim, se faz urgente um olhar que aponte outras experiências de convívio, menos conflituosas e proprietárias, mais respeitosas, sinceras e espirituais, que promovam um bem-estar às plantas e a nós mesmos.
It is possible to say that humans are aware of the importance of plants as they employ them in various daily activities such as in food, construction, landscaping, medicine, therapeutic uses, and so on. However, they often fail to realize that plants are incredibly generous sources of life; they sustain the lives of other living beings. From this perspective, this work aims to argue the need to broaden our relationship with plants and invent other, deeper modes of contact with vegetal beings to evoke different perceptions regarding the complexity of these entities. Thus, there is an urgent need for a perspective that points towards other coexistence experiences, less conflictive and possessive, more respectful, sincere, and spiritual, promoting well-being for both plants and ourselves.
