That's like the world trade center is just huge.

And then I had to traverse around the tree on vines.

And then finally I get up into the crown of this tree.

And then from there, I called down to JJ and I just see this little speck of light, you know, 85 feet below me.

And then I climbed up to about 120 feet, which is up here.

And I sat there.

And you're doing all this still in darkness.

We're doing all this in the pre-dawn light.

And so when I got up there, now the howler monkeys are going.

and the jungle's starting to vibrate.

And you can hear the first macaws starting to chirp and everything's starting to turn on.

And in the east, the sun is coming over the jungle.

And so the sun, when the first rays get line of sight to the canopy of the jungle, it starts lifting the mist off the canopy.

All of that moisture starts coming up.

And I'm sitting on this branch at a hundred something feet above the ground with dark jungle below me.

And all of a sudden I see the river.

I see the mist river I'd always heard about.

They say that there's a river above the Amazon, an invisible river that has more moisture in it, more water is flowing above the Amazon than is flowing in the Amazon.

And I'd heard this my whole life.

And you think like, okay, the fact that there's a molten core of the earth or that black holes theoretically exist, it's just like one of those things, you're never gonna see it.
