Diario de los sueños
by Antonio AlmasPorque para que el árbol crezca, es necesario primero plantar la semilla. Porque para que dé fruto, necesita florecer. Porque para florecer es necesario regar. Porque para tener hojas hay que estar cubierto de luz, solo tiene sentido, que para soñar hay que creer, y creyendo, día tras día, año tras año, estamos ahora, sentados a la sombra de ese árbol que sembramos, que lo cuidamos, lo recortamos y lo hicimos crecer. Creer que podríamos ser un árbol, floreciendo y dando frutos, dando sombra y paz es como soñar y estar seguro de que algún día seremos un bosque.
Diário de uma Extinção - Primeiro Contato
by Claudio Vaz Isaac BarraoNo momento que ocorre uma tragédia, nos refugiamos em nosso entorno, a família e os amigos. Pensamos de forma inconsciente que, quando vemos notícias de um câncer que tirou a vida de um pobre menino, que sequer conhecemos, ou de um desastre natural que extirpou as ilusões de milhares de pessoas, sepultando suas frágeis vidas sob toneladas de escombros, essas coisas nunca nos atingirão. Talvez, algum tipo de sensor biológico se ative em nossa cabeça para enganar o medo. Tudo aconteceu muito depressa. Não nos demos conta e, se o fizemos, nunca movemos um dedo para detê-lo. No entanto, foi então que a submissa humanidade, enganada durante décadas por dirigentes sem escrúpulos, se desvaneceu; pelo menos, durante um tempo. Aqueles que tinham que nos proteger, amparados pela democracia, grandes homens podres de dinheiro graças ao suor amargo da população, foram os primeiros que abandonaram a Espanha. Todos sabiam. Desde o primeiro momento que transportamos, da África para Madri, o missionário espanhol infectado com ebola. Sabíamos. Não dissemos nada. Como sempre. Calamos por medo de a Europa nos tratar como se fôssemos animais sem compaixão por abandonar um dos nossos a uma morte certa, ou talvez, para tentar demonstrar, sem sucesso, o que não éramos. Manifestamos, uma vez mais, a incapacidade de nosso governo. Milhões de espanhóis estavam em suas casas, jantando com suas famílias, quando aconteceu. Aquele dia foi o princípio do fim.
