Um ano sem Alcione Araújo

Hoje, dia 15 de novembro, completou um ano de falecimento do cronista, romancista e dramaturgo Alcione Araújo. Desde então, nós, leitores, ficamos sem ler suas crônicas às segundas-feiras, no jornal Estado de Minas.
 
É difícil apontar qual a melhor crônica do Alcione que foi publicada, desde setembro de 2001, no Caderno Cultura. Porém, a crônica SEM PARAR DE CANTAR foi uma das que mais me marcou. E eu dizia isso a ele. Tanto que, no lançamento da coletânea das crônicas publicadas no livro: “Cala a boca e me beija”, na Academia Mineira de Letras, no dia 9 de dezembro de 2010, algumas crônicas foram lidas por ele, e essa não ficou de fora.
 
Relendo novamente a crônica, creio que algumas passagens são dignas de ser lembradas:
 
“O senhor eu sei que não reclama dos meus passarinhos e até aprecia o canto deles. Já vi o senhor de manhã, na volta da caminhada, ficar um tempão olhando pra gaiola pendurada na árvore, ouvindo o meu curió. O senhor, que tem tanto livro, sabe como é bonito, gosta do que toca o coração. Mas tem morador que reclama que o canto dos passarinhos acorda ele, que não dorme mais, e começa o dia nervoso. O senhor acha que é possível canto de passarinho dar nos nervos?
Já chegou no ouvido do síndico. Ele avisou que na volta quer ter uma conversa comigo. Vai dizer que reclamaram dos passarinhos. O quê que eu posso fazer? Calar os bichinhos, não posso! Vai querer que me livre deles – também não posso.
Sou do interior, o senhor sabe, que nem os porteiros de tudo que é prédio por aí. Lá a gente aprende as coisas com os bichos. Aprendi tanta coisa com passarinho! O senhor já viu passarinho fazer ninho? Ele bica um gravetinho aqui, um garrancho acolá, vai longe atrás de uma palha, de um capim, voa horas por uma flor de algodão. Quando fica pronto, arrumadinho, bate a ventania, cai o temporal, vem um bicho qualquer, ou aparece algum menino e acaba com tudo. Acha que passarinho chora, reclama da vida? Passarinho, não. Passarinho começa tudo de novo. E sem parar de cantar! Lá vem ele com o graveto, o capim, a folha seca, o ramo…
O senhor já viu ninho com ovinhos? Três, cinco, meia dúzia, desse tamanhinho! Quando filhotinho tá pra nascer, é de chorar: vem o vento, a chuva, o bicho ou o menino e acaba com tudo! Passarinho xinga e quer matar? Passarinho, não. Passarinho começa tudo de novo. E sem parar de cantar! Lá vem o garranchinho, a palha, a flor de algodão…
O senhor tá entendo aonde eu quero chegar? A vida tem sua atrapalhação, tem homem de mais e passarinho de menos, o senhor não concorda? Homem reclama, chora, desanima, desiste e tudo o mais. Passarinho, não. Passarinho não desiste. Nem para de cantar.
Se não posso calar passarinho, nem vou dar pros outros, nem vender, nem trocar, nem soltar, é capaz que o síndico me mande embora. O que eu posso fazer!
O senhor sabe, se tiver que ser, vai ser. Vou chorar e pedir pra ficar? Eu não! Vou embora, e levo meus passarinhos e minhas gaiolas, que é quase tudo que tenho. No caminho não sei pra onde, vou juntando esperança, que nem passarinho junta graveto, e faço meu ninho com as folhas verdes da esperança. E sem parar de cantar, que nem tô cantando aqui pro senhor.”
A última crônica do livro “Cala a boca e me beija” chama-se “Morte e ressurreição” e narra a recuperação de uma cadela semimorta, salva por ele e um amigo: duas crianças de seis anos de idade, que deram, a ela, o nome de Morte:
“Morte nos trouxe muita alegria. Logo se ergueu e andou. Antes de correr, latia. E, por latir, ficou arriscado mantê-la no porão. Mas não foi difícil passar a Morte adiante. Embora despelada, estava curada e esperta. Surgiu até a tentação de adotá-la, mas desistimos. Uma vizinha idosa a acolheu – tivemos o bom-senso de não revelar seu nome. Ao lembrar-me de Morte, saltitante e eufórica, e compará-la com o animalzinho que agonizava na esquina, sou inclinado a crer que aos 6 anos aprendi os vestígios do que se chama morte e ressurreição. Com os dois entendi também o que é esperança.”

 

Que não percamos a esperança de poder ressuscitá-lo, Alcione, por meio das palavras que você deixou registradas em seus livros!

  1. Hello there! I know this is kinda off topic but I’d figured I’d ask.
    Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring a blog post or vice-versa?
    My site discusses a lot of the same subjects as yours and I feel we
    could greatly benefit from each other. If you happen to be interested feel free to shoot me an email.

    made good content as you did, the net will be much more useful
    than ever before.

    such info.

  7. Hey there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with
    hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended

    Do you have any methods to protect against hackers?

  8. Oh my goodness! Awesome article dude! Thanks, However I am experiencing

    at the internet the simplest factor to keep in mind of.
    I say to you, I definitely get irked whilst other people
    consider worries that they just do not know about.
    You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people can take a
    signal. Will likely be again to get more. Thank you

  12. Hi, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog site in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, great blog!

  13. I love your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you make this website yourself or did you hire
    someone to do it for you? Plz respond as I’m looking to design my own blog and would like to know where u got this from.
    cheers

    run into any browser compatibility problems? A small number of my blog audience have complained
    about my blog not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great
    in Opera. Do you have any recommendations to help fix
    this problem?

  18. Hello there, just was alert to your weblog thru Google, and located that it’s truly informative. I’m gonna watch out for brussels. I’ll be grateful when you continue this in future. A lot of other people might be benefited from your writing. Cheers!

  19. Hey! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers?
    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing several weeks of hard work due to no data backup.
    Do you have any methods to protect against hackers?

  20. I’m amazed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s equally educative and amusing, and
    without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head. The issue is something not enough people are
    speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I came across this
    in my search for something relating to this.

  21. The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a thirty
    foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad
    is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is totally off topic but I had
    to share it with someone!

  22. Howdy I am so happy I found your site, I really
    found you by mistake, while I was searching on Yahoo for something else, Anyhow I am here now and would just like to say
    cheers for a fantastic post and a all round enjoyable blog (I also love the theme/design), I don’t
    have time to read through it all at the moment but I
    have bookmarked it and also added your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back
    to read a lot more, Please do keep up the great b.

  23. I have to express appreciation to the writer for bailing me out of this issue. After researching through the the net and meeting tricks that were not pleasant, I thought my life was gone. Living without the strategies to the problems you have sorted out by means of your main article content is a crucial case, and those that would have in a wrong way affected my career if I hadn’t noticed the website. Your primary competence and kindness in touching a lot of stuff was crucial. I don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t encountered such a step like this. I can also at this point relish my future. Thanks very much for your skilled and amazing help. I won’t think twice to propose your site to anyone who would need recommendations about this problem.
