# 7 Transfer / Translado - Between synapses project / Projeto entre sinapses

 Transfer


    The bag was full and the heavy weight on my back seemed to increase as the drops of sweat fell to smooth out  irregularities on the journey


  I tried to spread my best for passers (releasing the weight), I tried to walk following the wind, I tried to smile


   Pedestrians relieved themselves by dispersing weight randomly and compulsively in an almost desperate, sometimes in hostile way

   The initial strength that paved the way, exposing the maked up obscurity, gave way to technique and the trajectory gained occasional pauses.


   Skills gained over long journeys proved to be crucial for the transfer of this heavy bag on time


   The aromas, the bright colors and the dead, whether alive or not, demanded attention that was impossible to satisfy


   So we continued, me and a heavy bag, tinkling sound signals that relieved the (almost unbearable) weight of the posts

   

   We pass, leaving necessary marks for probable reunions, perhaps quickly effective on the homeostasis of a chaotic traffic 

   We arrive at the hole on the rock where there's a super selected passage  and the credentials are the shine on the forehead of long journeys fulfilling goals

   The bag finally reached its destination, stripped of that weight almost encrusted in my soul, automatically my smile showed almost all of my teeth.

   The forehead just didn't shine brighter than the lights of a party supported by meritocratically functional and happy meetings

Translado

    O saco estava cheio e o peso grande nas costas parecia aumentar a medida que as gotas de suor desciam para amenizar as irregularidades do trajeto

  Tentei distribuir o que tinha de melhor aos passantes (aliviando o peso), tentei caminhar a favor do vento, tentei sorrir

   Pedestres aliviavam-se dispersando peso de forma aleatória e compulsiva em um quase desespero, as vezes hostil

   A força inicial que abriu caminho expondo a obscuridade maquiada, cedeu lugar à técnica e a trajetória ganhou eventuais pausas

   Habilidade conquistada em longas jornadas se mostrou crucial para o translado de um saco em tempo hábil

   Os aromas , as cores vivas e os mortos, vivos ou não demandavam uma atenção impossível de ser saciada

   Assim seguimos, eu e um saco pesado, tilintando sinais sonoros que aliviava o peso (quase insuportável) dos postes

 Passamos deixando marcas necessárias para reencontros prováveis, talvez rapidamente efetivos à homeostase de um trânsito caótico

   Chegamos ao buraco na pedra onde a passagem é seletíssima e as credenciais são o brilho na testa de longas jornadas cumprindo metas

   O saco enfim em seu destino, me despiu do peso quase encrustado na alma e automaticamente meu sorriso mostrou quase todos os dentes

   A testa só não brilhava mais que as luzes de uma festa amparada em reencontros meritocraticamente leves e felizes

15 days project - São Thomé das Letras - Part 10

  Chapter 9 – Into the flowing waters kingdom     I woke up around 1 am , saw a sky full of clouds , went back to bed and again fall asleep , woke up few hours later and stayed in bed until i saw some sign of light in the sky (around 6:30 am) , after breakfast and equipped with what i had to protect me from the cold (jacket, hat, gloves) , i left towards the lion’s cave , another famous tourist spot in São Thomé , when i got there , i saw a couple leaving , i imagine that they were about to wait/photograph the sunrise , which was already completely above the horizon. After several photos in the lower part of the cave , which actually looked like a narrow hole on a huge rock , i decided to climb to its roof , with a little difficulty and cautiously , within 10 minutes i was at the top taking photos and looking for a place to rest. Surroundings of the lion’s cave early in the morning      I took photos from all angles and made the necessary records , then i...

  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 loo...

  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 all...
