"Saya menemukan panduan lapangan Esau di bagian bawah paket saya. Sambil membawa lilin ke kamar, aku membaca bukunya sampai mataku bertambah berat. Dari catatannya yang luas, tampaknya hampir setiap tanaman dan pohon di hutan memiliki alasan untuk tetap ada. Aku mendapati diriku berharap ada halaman di buku panduannya yang memuat fotoku dengan alasan keberadaanku tertulis di bawah tangan Esau yang rapi."

I found Esau’s field guide at the bottom of my pack. Taking a candle into the bedroom, I read his book until my eyes grew heavy. From his vast notes, it seemed that almost every plant and tree in the jungle had a reason for existing. I caught myself wishing there was a page in his guide that had my picture on it with the reason for my existence written underneath in Esau’s neat hand.
