COLMEIA À FLOR DA PELE

In Brazil, people say they are à flor da pele (at  the flower of the skin or inflorescent skin) when they find their  emotions overcoming their reason, just like sweat involuntarily blossoms  through the pores of the skin.

It  is a moment of excitement, fear, anxiety and physical effort, a moment  guided by our non-rational knowledge and deepest desires, our anger and  our erotica.
