What would it be?

I don’t know which factor or combination of these has greater importance in climatic phenomena, if garbage poured in the atmosphere or in the seas. If reefs wildlife can stand coastal seas temperature variations of at least two degrees about two times a day, why would it be affected by a half degree variation in twenty years and why wouldn’t it adapt to the new condition.

I believe the Nature to be wiser. If greenhouse effect isn’t all, there must be another factor, and this should be garbage and poisons shot to seas by a dirty humanity. Poison would directly impact wildlife. Changes in water characteristics would also change its warmth absorption and radiation. Maybe the biggest problem isn’t ejecting garbage in the airs, but pouring garbage to the seas.

A teeny Christmas short story

 At the dawn of that cold night, the girl waked up from a dream that bothered her but of which she did not remember any more. She did only know that soon in the next morning she would have to make something to someone who very much was in need of her. Thus, while her mother leaded her, she wondered, inquiring herself, to whom she would have to make what an indefinite and deep feeling induced her.

         When entering in the classroom, in midst of the cluttering children do while arranging themselves in their places, instead of going directly to hers, she remained for a few seconds looking for someone she did not know who. Her eyes then met with the ones of another girl she had not seen for the last few days.

         She left the books at her customary place and went directly to her little colleague who remained quiet at her place. For a moment she took her little friend hands into hers and then they hugged tenderly. She then said,  without thinking on what she spoke, freeing only what came from deep in her heart: “My beloved, don’t be so sad, from this moment on we will be one, friends and accomplices, the two of us will keep the memories, remembering and missing your beloved parents”.

         They had been hugged for a moment, feeling their hearts beating at the same compass. They separated then and, still hands in hands, looking at each other, they saw deep in each other yes, the image of a child smiling to them from a straw cradle.

         When the teacher clapped hands calling the children for the rehearsal of a song they would sing at the school Christmas party, the girls perceived an intangible thing, the force that have attracted them was the essence of the boy whose birth they would feast. Then they hugged again and parted back to their places with their hearts full of a feeling of fraternity, the love between brothers that must reign on all Humanity and the certainty that Christmas is always a new Rebirth.

Nancy and Sebastiao Imbiriba wish you all

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Pequenina estória de Natal

Na madrugada daquela noite fria, a menina despertou de um sonho que a incomodara e do qual não se lembrava mais. Sabia apenas que logo pela manhã deveria fazer algo por alguém que muito precisava dela. Assim, enquanto a mãe a conduzia, ia pensando, indagando a si mesma, a quem faria o que um sentimento indefinido e profundo a induzia.

Ao entrar na sala, no meio da algazarra das crianças que se arrumavam em seus lugares, em vez de se dirigir ao seu, permaneceu por instantes procurando por algo que não sabia o que fosse. Seus olhos então se encontraram com os de outra menina que ela não via há alguns dias.

Deixou os livros em seu lugar de costume e se dirigiu à coleguinha, que permanecia quieta. Tomou as mãozinhas da amiga entre as suas por um momento e depois a abraçou ternamente, dizendo sem pensar no que falava, apenas soltando o que vinha do fundo de seu coração: “Minha querida, não fique triste, de hoje em diante seremos uma só, amigas e companheiras, nós duas manteremos a lembrança e a saudade de seus pais”.

Ficaram elas abraçadas, sentindo os corações que pulsavam em um só compasso. Então, se separaram e ainda de mãos dadas, fitando-se, viram no fundo dos olhos, uma da outra, a imagem de uma criança em berço de palha a sorrir para elas.

Quando a professora bateu palmas e chamou a classe para ensaiar um cântico do natal da escola, as meninas perceberam que a força que as atraíra uma pela outra fora a essência do menino cujo nascimento seria festejado. Então se abraçaram novamente e voltaram a seus lugares, plenas do sentimento de fraternidade, do amor entre irmãos que deve reinar em toda a Humanidade e a certeza de que o Natal é sempre um novo Renascer.

Nancy e Sebastião Imbiriba lhes desejam

Feliz Natal e Próspero Ano Novo
