Background
Hamelia patens, or Fire Bush, is a showy, fast-growing, semi-woody evergreen shrub that can get up to 15 ft (4.6 m) tall under ideal conditions, but usually stays much smaller.

It has whorled leaves, usually with three but occasionally as many as seven at each node. The leaves are elliptic to oval, about 6 in (15 cm) long, and gray-pubescent underneath with reddish veins and petioles. They are reflexed upward from the midvein. Throughout the year, Fire Bush produces showy terminal clusters (cymes) of bright reddish-orange or scarlet tubular flowers, each about 0.75 in (1.9 cm), long. Even the flower stems are red. The clusters of fruit also are showy. Each fruit is a juicy berry with many small seeds, ripening from green to yellow to red and finally to black. A Fire Bush plant usually has flowers and fruit in various stages.

The plant is indigenous most all of South America, the West Indies, Mexico, and even southern Florida.
Indigenous people in Belize use the plant to prepare a natural remedy to treat all types of skin problems including, sores, rashes, wounds, burns, itching, cuts, skin fungus, and insect stings and bites.

Prover 2: My voice has changed. It’s a bit rougher, deeper. I feel down.
I’m seeing these Pictures or ideas; if you are small you become afraid of something. I feel like I’m getting smaller and weaker. I’m feeling unsure, not so confident, like seeing beautiful girls in front of me, 18-25 years old, small and thin, in red tops, dark trousers, dark hair, dark skin, like Latinas. Anxious.

[Master Prover arrives.].
Master Prover: What will happen with those girls, if they are unsure?
Prover 2: My vision… They are natural, beautiful, not discovered yet. People will discover her beauty and value… like you find the gold. She feels weak. She needs people to discover her and give her confidence so she will be very successful and do great things. She is weak in this stage. She needs a good guide. She needs to be cultivated. Natural character and purity inside, under the beauty. Like girls from countryside going to big city. They are lost. If not discovered they won’t bloom; they will die, get kaput.
Prover 1: Like the living flower.
Prover 3: or they become ziechig.
Prover 1: No I don’t see that. It’s a parallel universe.

Prover 2: My family name means thanks, and my own name means girl with a mouth,. You won’t grow up because you eat too much grass. My own name means woman with mouth. I cut out the “grass” part. I cut out the wood, big mistake. You can’t change your name in Germany. I need to harmonize. Prover 3’s name means Thunder; in Chinese 5 element theory, thunder is part of the wood element.
