This postcard honours the Monkey, a playful and vital ally of the cacao tree, known for helping spread its seeds and support its natural growth. Moving through the forest with curiosity and lightness, the Monkey carries both intelligence and mischief, reminding us of the balance between activity and stillness.
Printed on bamboo paper, the card has a soft, organic texture. The illustration, hand-created by Kenneth Schnell (www.visionsofsaro.com), draws from the forms, colors, and symbolism of the cacao tree.
The quote “Calm your monkey mind and peace you will find”, written by Sónia Lua, reflects the nature of the restless mind and the practice of returning to calmness - a reminder that peace arises when we soften and become present.
