The scarecrow - O espantalho

                The scarecrow 

   A dusty scarecrow stands on his feet

   The dry field around sign absenses

   His impact is useless a long time ago

   Maybe this is the cause of spasms when the wind blows

   I come closer and in his face straw had withered

   Did the "scary job" worth ?

   Is that the reason for the lack of life around ?

   I blink my eyes as a sign of goodbye and best wishes for him

   May the water come around soon and life flourish

   Satisfied in his most primordial needs

   May he let himself fly out of his stake and let the wind decide his destination 

   May he land softly, kissing the ground and make himself earth


G.S. from: Purple mind 



               O espantalho

   O espantalho permanece empoeirado mas de pé 

   O campo seco denota ausências 

   Seu impacto a tempos não se faz presente 

   Talvez seja o motivo dos espasmos quando o vento se faz notar 

   Chego mais perto e a palha no seu rosto definha

   Será que alguma vez assustou quem deveria?

   Será este o motivo da ausência de vida ao seu  redor?

   Me despeço com o piscar de olhos 

   Desejo que a água não demore 

   Que  a vida  de novo brote

   E que satisfeito em suas necessidades primordiais 

   Ele permita-se sair da estaca ,  alçar voo 

   Deixar que o vento decida quando é onde parar 

   Beijar o solo e se fazer terra.


G.S. : Mente púrpura

  Chapter 3 – At the point     After  incredible experiences i had yesterday , today my intentions are in order of priority: the São Thomé’s grotto usually called: “a gruta”(the grotto) , another famous tourist spot , a return to the witch’s stone and later a return (at night) to Cruzeiro. Considering that generally the most appropriate time to write is in the morning , today (8/8/23) at 5 am i was already up making breakfast and organizing things to write , my morning departures take place around 10 am . I left around this time towards the São Thomé’s grotto (a gruta) which is nearby, about  25  meters away from the supermarket which is on the other side of the square. I arrived at the grotto , took external photos of the entrance and the plaque with historical information about the grotto and entered. Inside , i saw two chambers , a smaller one on the left probably used for meditation or rituals , it had  a narrow entrance that in my opinion only allows entry while crouching or kneel

  Chapter 5: Mismatch       Today dawned without the intensity of the winds but with a fog that greatly reduced visibility, for example, every day until then I was able to visualize the cruise from my room (approximately 1km) today the visualization was just a fog that despite it was not very dense, it was present even on the streets.          Observing from a different perspective, the fog even gives a more beautiful tone to the city as it hides the transmission towers located at the highest points. I contacted Nelson ● and made myself available for a meeting and as he had commitments in the morning, I organized myself for a morning walk towards the witch's stone. I went once again, along the path that seemed to be a shortcut and avoided the wear and tear of climbing the steep stairs (mentioned in the previous chapter), during the walk I stopped to give and receive affection to 2 groups of dogs that approached when I was passing by. , each group with 2 dogs of different colors but

  Chapter 6 – Atypicalities     My day today started well before dawn , it was around 3 am when i woke up , i really wanted to put on a coat and go to my favorite observation point (the crux – o cruzeiro). The logical mind soon tried to stop this impulse with arguments of all kinds , while having breakfast i went to the window and saw a starry , cloudless sky , i also noticed that there was no wind noise and the visible trees were not moving. I immediately thought about the opportunity to have a better thermal comfort. I put on appropriate clothes and set off through the deserted streets of São Thomé.     As I got closer to the access to go up , i saw 2 pubs still open with people enjoying themselves with relatively loud music. The climb as always , tiring and when i reached the top and prepared to turn off the “flashlight” mode on my cell phone , i saw that it was precisely 3:44 hours , there was no one on the crux and still panting from the climb , i looked for “my place” which offe
