O ENCAIXE

           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….

  3. It’s a pity you don’t have a donate button! I’d definitely donate to
    this fantastic blog! I guess for now i’ll settle for bookmarking and adding your RSS feed to my Google account.
    I look forward to fresh updates and will share this site with my Facebook group.
    Chat soon!

  5. I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your website?

    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.

    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 images.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

  7. My coder is trying to convince me to move to
    .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
    But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on various websites for about a year and am
    anxious about switching to another platform. I have heard excellent things about
    blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it?
    Any kind of help would be really appreciated!

  9. I think that what you published made a lot of sense.
    However, think on this, what if you were to write a awesome headline?
    I am not suggesting your content isn’t solid, however suppose you added a title that grabbed
    people’s attention? I mean O ENCAIXE | Conversa Literária – por Fátima Soares is kinda vanilla.
    You could peek at Yahoo’s home page and note how they create article titles to grab viewers to open the links.
    You might try adding a video or a picture or two to get
    readers excited about what you’ve got to say. In my opinion, it might bring your blog a little livelier.

  13. This design is wicked! You most certainly know how to keep a reader entertained.
    Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved
    to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Great job.
    I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how
    you presented it. Too cool!

  14. You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter
    to be really something that I think I would never understand.
    It seems too complex and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your
    next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!

  23. Very good website you have here but I was wanting to know if you knew of any user discussion forums
    that cover the same topics talked about here?
    I’d really like to be a part of community
    where I can get advice from other experienced people that share the same interest.
    If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Bless you!

  27. An outstanding share! I’ve just forwarded this onto a coworker who had been doing a little research on this. And he actually bought me dinner simply because I found it for him… lol. So let me reword this…. Thanks for the meal!! But yeah, thanks for spending some time to talk about this subject here on your blog.

  28. Good day! Do you know if they make any plugins to help with Search Engine Optimization? I’m trying to get my blog
    to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very
    good results. If you know of any please share. Thanks!

  29. Discussing multivitamins in the ayurvedic context you could be surprised to know that fulfilling nutritional deficiencies through pills
    is not new concept Ayurveda is saturated in such powerful formulations carefully prepared in the form of pills meaning
    even Ayurveda includes a smart backup plan once the food you eat does not
    fulfil your daily nutritional needs one such tablet is navratandras as its Sanskrit name suggests navratan rust tablet is
    prepared from the extract of nine precious gems each gem serves a certain purpose it involves an elaborate means of purification as stated in the texts which take
    days to have an edible form of those gems.

    norms it counts among the best medicine for bone degeneration and general weakness it is considered to be effective for numerous health conditions whether its richness of nutrition or its highly absorbable form achieved
    through an elaborate process it’s effective at putting most
    modern multivitamin tablets to shame its multivitamin in the real sense the standard process of making this tablet makes it very easy to absorb that it could be
    consumed by a good three-year-old or a hundred-year-old and
    you will need not need it always take with milk morning or evening for two to three
    months and then stop that’s enough to reap its benefits navratan rust tablet is simply to be
    avoided by people experiencing stones in kidneys or gallbladder in general we want not discard
    all of the multivitamin supplements.

    We ought to strive to consume fresh seasonal fruits vegetables and
    whole foods creating a balanced diet however
    if somehow we’re not able to fulfill the requirements and
    face nutritional deficiencies we ought to choose one that mentions a clear list of ingredients in that respect ayurvedic navratan Russ
    is undoubtedly a much better choice i’ve even linked
    it down in the description box for you yourself to buy it online found this video helpful
    please give a big thumbs up buying a clearer skin have a look at mahmoud’s newly launched vitamin c breathing apparatus and vitamin c face
    wash mama earth’s breathing apparatus with vitamin c kaolin clay promises to promote even complexion and skin illumination mama’s vitamin c face wash with turmeric promises to brighten the skin fights free radical damage and gives
    an all-natural glow to the skin what’s best is that both these

    easiest thing to take into accout of. I say to
    you, I certainly get annoyed whilst people consider worries
    that they plainly don’t recognize about. You managed to hit the
    nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing
    without having side-effects , people can take a signal.
    Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
