O ENCAIXE

                  IMG_20200121_142416842

           Não sou uma pessoa consumista. Não compro o que não preciso, e mesmo o que preciso é sempre o suficiente, sem sobras supérfluas. Por isso, não sou também de acumular, nem de lamentar perdas, principalmente, de coisas. Porém, confesso que algumas coisas, ainda que sem valor, às vezes as mantenho pelo valor afetivo: desenho de filhos, quando pequenos, lembrancinhas feitas por eles na escolinha, dos netos, enfim, miudezas que me comprazem.

Ontem, recebi de uma pessoa que mora sozinha e, por isso, mudou-se para um apartamento menor do que aquele em que estava, algumas louças, cuidadosamente embaladas em várias folhas de jornal, dispostas em duas sacolas. Ocorre que, durante o transporte das duas sacolas para o meu apartamento, ao efetuar a curva no corredor, em direção ao elevador, uma das sacolas bateu na parede do prédio, emitindo, imediatamente, o som de louça quebrada.

Ao abrir, com cautela, cada peça enrolada no jornal, cujo conteúdo eu desconhecia, fui conferindo que nada estava danificado: copos e taças, nem com a mínima lasca. Porém, uma peça maior, muito bem embalada, estava separada da sua parte, também bem acondicionada. A peça redonda, grande, afunilava-se um pouco na borda: é uma compoteira. A última peça que abri, pelo barulho, percebi que, ali ocorrera a quebra. Era a tampa da compoteira. Na hora, pensei: tantos copos, quase dez; também as taças em maior número, e, justamente, apenas uma peça, mais bem embalada do que a própria compoteira que é maior, foi a que quebrou. Resolvi colocar a compoteira na mesinha da sala já imaginando que providenciaria um belo arranjo para compô-la.

Uma hora depois, ao abrir o armário da cozinha para retirar um copo, chama-me atenção uma tampa de vidro, também transparente e do mesmo material que a compoteira recém-adquirida. Ao ver o círculo da grande compoteira repousada na mesa e o tamanho pequeno da tampa, agora em minhas mãos, achei que dificilmente ela me seria útil para tampá-la.

Ainda na cozinha, lembrei-me da longínqua origem daquela tampa.

Há 38 anos, ganhei, de casamento, uma bomboniere redonda que se compunha de três andares de louças sobrepostas, fechadas por aquela tampa, que ficava sobre o meu buffet com guloseimas para crianças, que eu ainda não tinha.

Certo dia, uma pequena, na faixa de 3 anos, com o seu curto bracinho, tentando alcançar um bis, derrubou a compoteira que se estilhaçou, sobrando, apenas, em cima do buffet, a tampa intacta.

Ao recolher os cacos, minha mão alcançou a tampa que, visivelmente sem nenhuma lasca, tive pena de colocá-la entre os estilhaços. Pensei: por que ela haverá de ir para o lixo? Não tem nada que a condene…Confesso que achei que seria injusto e um desperdício colocá-la no lixo.

Durante todo esse tempo, cada coisa que se quebrava, nada chegava nem perto para que a tampa guardada servisse de reposição. Muitas vezes, pensei em passá-la para frente juntamente às doações que sempre fiz de vasilhames e louças, mas pensava: o que farão com uma simples tampa de vidro? Fosse o pote, ainda teria utilidade, mesmo sem tampa, mas a tampa sozinha não serve para nada.

Recentemente, há dois anos, após a minha separação, quase passei, novamente, a tampa para frente junto a muitas coisas que doei. Entretanto, guardei-a novamente.

Observo atentamente a compoteira que parece me convidar a aproximar-me. Vejo-a de baixo para cima: larga, subindo em uma altura aproximada de 10 cm…, porém, próximo à borda, percebo que se afunila um pouco.

Com a tampa na mão esquerda, quase que em câmara lenta, vou descendo-a sobre a compoteira e, para o meu espanto, a tampa se encaixou.

Ninguém diria que não pertencia à compoteira: o mesmo material, a mesma cor, era realmente de impressionar.

Concluí: às vezes, alguns relacionamentos se quebram durante a nossa vida e sentimos que o vazio não há de ser preenchido um dia.

Mas eis que a “tampa”, guardada, às vezes, por muitos anos, aparece para nos preencher….

  1. Please let me know if you’re looking for a article writer for your site.
    You have some really good articles and I feel I would be a good asset.
    If you ever want to take some of the load off, I’d love
    to write some content for your blog in exchange
    for a link back to mine. Please send me an e-mail if interested.
    Thank you!

  2. First of all I would like to say terrific blog!
    I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
    I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your head
    prior to writing. I’ve had a tough time clearing my
    thoughts in getting my thoughts out there. I truly do enjoy writing but it
    just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally lost
    just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions
    or hints? Appreciate it!

  3. Hmm is anyone else encountering problems with
    the pictures on this blog loading? I’m trying to find out if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  4. Hmm it appears like your site ate my first comment (it was
    extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
    I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything.
    Do you have any tips for beginner blog writers? I’d definitely appreciate it.

  5. Hey there would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with?
    I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a tough time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and
    Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most
    blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
    P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

  6. For newest information you have to pay a visit world wide web
    and on world-wide-web I found this site as a best web site for latest updates.

  7. Unquestionably imagine that that you said. Your favourite justification appeared to be at the net the simplest
    factor to bear in mind of. I say to you, I certainly get
    irked while other folks think about issues that they just don’t recognise about.

    You controlled to hit the nail upon the highest and defined out the entire thing without having side effect , other people could take
    a signal. Will likely be again to get more. Thank you

    my interest. I’m going to book mark your site and keep checking for new information about once
    per week. I subscribed to your RSS feed too.

  10. Hi there! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from
    an established blog. Is it difficult to set up your own blog?
    I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast.
    I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not sure where to start.
    Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Cheers

  11. I really like your blog.. very nice colors & theme.

    Did you create this website yourself or did you hire someone to do it for you?

    where u got this from. appreciate it

  12. Unquestionably believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason appeared to
    be on the internet the easiest thing to be aware of.
    I say to you, I certainly get irked while people consider worries that they
    just don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the
    top and defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people can take
    a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

  13. Hello there! Quick question that’s totally off topic.
    Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My site looks weird when viewing from
    my apple iphone. I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to resolve this problem.
    If you have any recommendations, please share. Thank you!

  14. A fascinating discussion is definitely worth comment.
    I do think that you should publish more on this subject matter, it
    may not be a taboo subject but typically folks don’t speak about these subjects.

    To the next! Kind regards!!

  15. Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4
    year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She
    placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic
    but I had to tell someone!

  16. Excellent site you have here but I was wanting to
    know if you knew of any community forums that cover the same topics talked about here?
    I’d really like to be a part of community where I can get feedback from other
    experienced people that share the same interest.
    If you have any recommendations, please let me know.
    Bless you!

  17. Heya i’m for the first time here. I came across this board and I find
    It really useful & it helped me out much. I hope to
    give something back and help others like you helped me.

  18. Thanks a lot for sharing this with all of us you really recognise
    what you’re speaking about! Bookmarked. Kindly also talk over with my site =).
    We can have a hyperlink alternate agreement between us

  19. Hello! Someone in my Facebook group shared this website with
    us so I came to look it over. I’m definitely loving the information. I’m
    book-marking and will be tweeting this to my followers! Outstanding blog and fantastic style and design.

  20. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my
    own weblog and was wondering what all is required to get set up?
    I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty
    penny? I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100% sure. Any suggestions or advice would be
    greatly appreciated. Many thanks

  21. An interesting discussion is definitely worth comment.
    I think that you ought to write more about this subject
    matter, it may not be a taboo subject but generally people do not discuss such issues.
    To the next! Cheers!!

  22. Hello, Neat post. There’s a problem along with your web site in web
    explorer, would test this? IE still is the market leader and a huge portion of other people will omit your wonderful writing due to this
    problem.

  23. Với nhiều kênh liên hệ chính thức cực kỳ đa dạng, mọi
    thắc mắc của người chơi sẽ luôn được đảm bảo giải quyết một
    cách triệt để nhất.

  24. This is the right web site for anyone who would like to
    understand this topic. You realize so much its almost hard to
    argue with you (not that I actually would want to…HaHa).

    You certainly put a brand new spin on a topic that’s been written about for
    ages. Excellent stuff, just excellent!

  25. Hey! I know this is kinda off topic but I’d figured I’d ask.
    Would you be interested in exchanging links
    or maybe guest authoring a blog post or vice-versa?

    My blog discusses a lot of the same subjects as yours and I feel
    we could greatly benefit from each other. If you’re interested feel free to send me an e-mail.
    I look forward to hearing from you! Wonderful blog by the way!

  26. I think everything posted was actually very reasonable. However, what about this?
    what if you added a little content? I ain’t suggesting your content is not good, but suppose you added
    a title that grabbed folk’s attention? I mean O ENCAIXE
    | Conversa Literária – por Fátima Soares is kinda plain. You could
    glance at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they create post headlines to get viewers to open the links.
    You might add a video or a pic or two to grab people excited about what you’ve got to say.
    In my opinion, it could make your posts a little bit more interesting.
