Tento reconstruir algumas atitudes que empalidecem no rosto tranquilo da solidão.

Há uma vontade indómita de renascer no teu olhar, como se invocasse a razão difícil de existir.

Continuo na expectativa da imagem da sabedoria do silêncio. Esse espelho da metafísica. Essa intuição mística da realidade.

“Há um momento na vida em que cada um de nós que sobrevive se começa a sentir como uma espécie de fantasma que se esqueceu de morrer na altura certa, e a verdade é que muitos de nós éramos bem mais divertidos quando jovens. A idade parece fazer o coração dobrar-se sobre si mesmo. Alguns caminham agora sozinhos, a sonhar com o passado; outros apercebem-se de que perdem o jeito de se aguentarem ao sol. A ideia de futuro é, para muitos e nós, mais um motivo para irritação do que para optimismos, como se já tivéssemos a nossa conta de novidades e apenas ansiássemos pelo longo sono que envolve as pontas das nossas vidas, eu próprio sinto esse cansaço.”

“Ibrahim, o Louco, era um dos mais divertidos quando era novo. Dizia-se que nascera com um sorriso no canto dos lábios, e era, desde jovem, um especialista em interjeições inoportunas. Para ser mais preciso, ele aperfeiçoou um reportório de balidos que imitava na perfeição os comentários estúpidos de uma cabra nos seus vários estados de espírito: uma cabra que é apanhada de surpresa, uma cabra que anda à procura da cria, uma cabra perplexa, uma cabra no cio. Contudo, o seu balido mais popular era o de uma cabra que não tem nada para dizer.

(…) Ibrahim já não solta os balidos dele, agora escuta as cabras no seu movimento de arbusto em arbusto. Verá que não tardará a reconhecer o balir de uma cabra que não tem nada a dizer.”
