A flor que faltava

O meu jardim tem flores de todas as cores e formas
tantas delas regadas e cuidadas com amor e carinho.
São amadas e queridas. Mas uma delas é especial.
Somente uma tem algo de especial.
É aquela que não está ali.
A que falta, a que deixa de ser,
a que com sua ausência marca sua presença: a orquídea.
No espaço dela há um vazio. Ela não está lá.
Sabe-se lá onde está, onde quer estar e por quê.
Ela não se prende a mais ninguém.

Se ela soubesse quantas abelhinhas por aqui a aguardam
Se soubesse que seria a rainha do jardim
A orquídea... sim, a orquídea.
Vou chorar sua ausência por mais uma noite apenas.
E vou amar as rosas, os jasmins e os lírios
que me trazem perfumes e cores todos os dias.

Boa Sorte

Essa música não me sai da cabeça

são tantos boa sorte que tenho que ouvir e dizer ultimamente...
que mais do que convém, além de ser incrivelmente linda.

Fatos Memoráveis - continuando

Junho: fim do estágio. Nunca imaginei ser tão feliz na escola, não porque acabou, mas por saber que a faculdade me coloca em contato com algo que amo muito: pessoas. Foi bom descobrir para que serve a licenciatura.
Julho: Férias :) tempo de se dedicar 100% ao trabalho, e um pouco ao ócio. Viajar com a família é sempre bom, curtir os finais de semana por aí, ao léu. Momento de relaxar.
Agosto: Acabou! Hora de tencionar os ombros novamente. Um frio na barriga me invade: tenho que voltar para o estágio, me dedicar à nova profissão, frequentar as aulas, ler os textos, cuidar e prezar minha vida. Achei que ia surtar de vez.
Setembro: Não sei o que aconteceu neste mês. Achei que ia surtar de vez II. Lembro de uma coisa muito boa - o aniversário da Má.
Outubro: nulo. Só Deus sabe o que aconteceu neste mês além de ir de casa pro trabalho, do trabalho pra facul, da facul pra casa, de casa pro trabalho...etc. Mas sobrevivi bravamente. Quase surtei de vez de verdade. Foi em outubro que consegui dar entrada nos meus papéis para a Auto Escola. Finalmente !!!
Novembro: Finalmente surtei de vez de verdade. Aconteceu tudo ao mesmo tempo, agora. Decisões, descobertas, conclusões tardias me surpreenderam. Ciclos se fecharam, ciclos começaram. De agora em diante é começar de novo; de novo. Fé em Deus em pé na tábua.
Dezembro: Eba! Alegria. O saudosismo me invade, não vejo a hora de acabar o ano, e começar tudo outra vez :)

O fim da faculdade se aproxima...

A Faculdade vai acabar, e anseio desesperadamente esse momento. 

Não vou mais ter que ler coisas que não me interessam,  e nem participar de debates que considero inúteis. Não vou mais escrever coisas que não acredito para poder passar. Não vou mais ignorar que a prática é diferente da teoria. Não vou mais ouvir bla bla de pesquisador que nunca colocou o pé na escola. Não vou mais ouvir gente chata puxar o saco do professor, e nem gente chata interropendo a aula para dar recado sobre a nova velha eleição do CA. Não vou mais pegar as filas gigantes do xerox, que resolveram diminuir só no meu último ano. E também não vou ver o que vai virar a reforma curricular. Não vou mais suportar professores entediosos porque quero o diploma. Não vou mais virar a noite escrevendo trabalhos. Não vou mais perder o final de semana estudando. Não vou mais poder dizer que não posso sair porque tenho que estudar. Não vou mais conhecer uma obra literária diferente todo dia e nem analisar 4 romances por semestre. Não vou mais frequentar a USP. Não vou mais ver os meus amigos todo dia. Não vou mais ver as àrvores verdinhas e sentir cheiro de mato quando cortam a grama. Também não vou mais sentir o cheiro dos livros na biblioteca. Não vou mais ter minha dose diária de alegria e encontro com minha vocação. Não vou mais me emocionar semanalmente com algum poema que desconhecia. Não vou mais me emocionar semanalmente por saber que educação é o que mais amo e me sinto feliz só de pensar nisso. Não vou mais conhecer pessoas novas o tempo todo. Não vou mais ter debates enriquecedores. Não vou mais ouvir as piadas do Cristian toda terça. Não vou mais ver os meus alunos no minicurso. Não vou mais tomar cerveja na segunda a noite. Não vou mais na quinta e breja com os amigos. Não vou mais ouvir os papos filosóficos de bêbado. Não vou mais ver as bandinhas toscas. Não vou mais no Eagile, e nem na calourada. Então não vou ter mais bichos e bichetes. E vou me sentir inútil e vazia. Então vou querer voltar pra faculdade.
