O Milagre das Folhas
Não, nunca me acontecem milagres. Ouço falar, e às vezes isso me basta como esperança. Mas também me revolta: por que não a mim? Por que são de ouvir falar? Pois já cheguei a ouvir conversas assim, sobre milagres: “Avisou-me que, ao ser dita determinada palavra, um objeto de estimação se quebraria.” Meus objetos se quebram banalmente e pelas mãos das empregadas. Até que fui obrigada a chegar à conclusão de que sou daqueles que rolam pedras durante séculos, e não daqueles para os quais os seixos já vêm prontos, polidos e brancos. Bem que tenho visões fugitivas antes de adormecer – seria milagre? Mas já me foi tranquilamente explicado que isso até nome tem: cidetismo, capacidade de projetar no campo alucinatório as imagens inconscientes.
Milagre, não. Mas as coincidências. Vivo de coincidências, vivo de linhas que incidem uma na outra e se cruzam e no cruzamento formam um leve e instantâneo ponto, tão leve e instantâneo que mais é feito de pudor e segredo: mal eu falasse nele, já estaria falando em nada.
Mas tenho um milagre, sim. O milagre das folhas. Estou andando pela rua e do vento me cai uma folha exatamente nos cabelos. A incidência da linha de milhares de folhas transformadas em uma única, e de milhões de pessoas a incidência de reduzí¬-las a mim. Isso me acontece tantas vezes que passei a me considerar modestamente a escolhida das folhas. Com gestos furtivos tiro a folha dos cabelos e guardo-a na bolsa, como
o mais diminuto diamante. Até que um dia, abrindo a bolsa, encontro entre os objetos a folha seca, engelhada, morta. Jogo-a fora: não me interessa fetiche morto como lembrança. E também porque sei que novas folhas coincidirão comigo.
Um dia uma folha me bateu nos cílios. Achei Deus de uma grande delicadeza.

Cândido Portinari The theme for this year is
“Por Ti, Portinari, Rompendo a Tela, a Realidade“. For you, (Cândido) Portinari, tearing the canvas, the Reality
Mocidade commemorates that Brazilian artist Cândido Portinari died fifty years ago, at the age of 58. At the age of fourteen, he started as an assistant for a group of Italian painters and sculptors that were restoring a church in his native city. Soon his talent was discovered, and through the years, Cândido gained international reputation as a painter. His passion of painting also led to his death. since he died because of the long-term exposure to lead compounds in the paint that was using. The school demonstrates an overview of his life and works.
