Chapter 10 – Revisiting places
Impressively , i had a restless sleep , with nightmares , paradoxically after the lightness and fullness felt yesterday at the waterfalls , i woke up early and didn’t even get out of bed to check the time because everything was dark. I tried to go back to sleep but i couldn’t so i keep myself on bed until i saw the slightest light in the skies (probably between 5 and 6 o’clock). I got up and from the window i could see a strong fog from the skies to the streets, visibility was very reduced. I directed my attention to writing and the breakfast , during the breakfast , my mind moved on to reflections , memories of what i saw and experienced on the waterfalls , was my restless sleep the result of energetic manipulations? There at the waterfalls i saw people committed to energy manipulation but i was so integrated into that divine exuberance that i didn’t even think it was necessary comment on the previous chapter. I thought about Mr. Chico Taquara , a legendary person here in São Thomé das Letras , for some he was a hermit who lived in caves or dens and had so-called paranormal powers such as talking to animals and healing , for others he was a guardian of intra intra-terrestrial “worlds” that interface with São Thome. The fact is that he lived socially isolated and disappeared from contact with people without leaving a trace of his whereabouts decades ago. Today it is a reference in São Thomé , with a sculpture located on a tiny square dedicated to his honor. From my perspective his story lead to reflexion on how (even today) society progresses and perpetuates lack of tolerance and violence against those who deviate from a so-called normal “standard”. I left the apartment with water and food in my backpack with the intention of going to Chico Taquara’s cave , a tourist spot in São Thomé which is said to be a meeting point for the legendary person on several occasions with residents of the city. I called the driver who transported me yesterday , but he had commitments and couldn’t help me. It was my time to redo all the plans i had made for today , i went to the São Thomé’s cave and once again i felt that fantastic energy (heart chakra) , i decided to go to the top and stayed there for a short time as 2 individuals soon appeared , positioned themselves close and started smoking , with all that smoke i knew i had to leave and so i set my course to return to the lion’s cave.

Arriving at the lion’s cave , i thought it would be interesting to take a different route than
yesterday and explore the trails through the vegetation around. Following one of these trails
i found some high rocks positioned to the right of the lion’s cave and went on the trail until i
had an access to climb , i did it relatively fast and without any falling risk ( wasn’t steppy at
all) , below the highest point i found a flat area where was possible sit down on the rock ,
rest and contemplating the central part of the city on this cloudy day.

The sky remained full of clouds , the intermittent wind was not strong and the temperature was around 19°C , i took photos , tried to meditate and so the hours passed. It was already close to 12 o’clock when i decided to go back. On my return , i stopped at a bakery to get the famous and traditional cheese breads. Upon arriving i had a pleasant feeling when i saw everything clean , towels changed along with sheets and pillowcases, to complete this feeling of “cleanliness”, i went straight to the shower to take a refreshing bath and have
lunch within this clean vibe. After lunch i had a rest and the usual selection of photos where
i discard the “worst” of the many captured.
Throughout the afternoon i went to the
supermarket to buy bread , fruit and vegetables and now in the late afternoon/early evening
i do my writing work at the same time as i put the vegetables out to be sanitized . I think it’s still a habit that I’m deconstructing here , but when the night comes , my mind
quickly starts asking: “what about tomorrow?” , the only thing i have to do tomorrow is wash
clothes and write , may fate take me wherever i have to go (no plans) ; ) .

Losing weight
On the pavement, compartments exposed like fractures, densities move downhill
Temporary tricks bypassed and arrivals bring greater truths, traffic continues to flow as it should
Returns happen due to the need for sublimation to what needs a precise fit into what is perfect
It has arrived the moment when the smoke no longer offers safe shelter, the imperceptible declines
Winds of truth gallop towards the four corners of my compass, swarms of bees accompany
The going up and down hills invigorates the spirit and boosts the silence of those who see what moves crowds
Illusions face flashes of an embryo that receives filters of masterful lightness
Malicious bridges collapse as the tremor in their foundations reflects the transposition of limits
Signalers suspend activities waiting for a reliable guideline
The source uninterruptedly irrigates new elected wich are rising in merit
