quadro de ardósia

Renova-te completamente a cada dia, renova-te outra vez, e outra vez, e sempre outra vez.

-Henry David Thoreau em Walden

Logo cedo, todas as manhãs ao tirar as primeiras bicas para os primeiros clientes a fumarem ao balcão (provavelmente não o primeiro cigarro), gosto de ler a frase ou pensamento que a Rita escreve no quadro de ardósia.

esta vida

I have been working temporarily in a local coffee/restaurant to get some experience in the restaurant business. I am enjoying my experience very much.

Today I learned that my colleague who is nineteen years old worked as a volunteer firefighter for five years. Two years ago in a fire at Serra da Malveira her face was burned (it healed and is unnoticable). She and four other colleagues became trapped by the fire. Three were very seriously burned and she escaped by running 12 kilometers away from the fire and only stopped when she came upon a fire chief from Almoçageme. She does not remember. They told her that that is how long she ran.

She is a small person (only about 1 meter 50 cm, if that). Today she seemed a giant.
