CALVÁRIO DE JOSÉ. AS INSINUAÇÕES DE SATANÁS. JOSÉ ACREDITOU.
Quarenta dias depois, João foi apresentado no Templo com grande solenidade. Zacarias era estimado por todos. Através de um mensageiro Maria mandou avisar José, que muito saudoso, finalmente foi buscá-la. Maria estava mais calada que de costume. Mantinha seu manto fechado com medo de levantar suspeita antes da hora. Pensava que o Senhor já tivesse lhe contado os fatos, coisa que não aconteceu. José ao perceber seu estado, fechou-se numa profunda amargura. Começava ali sua dolorosa paixão. E tal qual a de Jesus e Maria, iria durar três longos dias.
(Maria contou à Valtorta) “Quem poderá medir o tamanho de sua dor e a perturbação que sentiu em seus afetos? Como num barco em tempestade José viu-se entre ideias opostas e reflexões perturbadoras demais. Ter sido traído?? Viu desmoronar seu bom nome, a estima na cidade? Além disso percebia que morriam seus sentimentos de amor por mim, que passei a ser sua alegria... Se fosse menos santo José poderia ter agido como qualquer outro me denunciando de adúltera para ser apedrejada e o filho morto. Mas José era santo! Seu espírito vivia na intimidade com Deus e o alívio foi-lhe concedido. Mas não antes de ter passado pela profunda agonia!”
“Eu também passei pela minha primeira paixão. Compreendia e sofria a dor de José vendo a angústia daquele homem justo e bom sem poder dizer nada. Estava fora do meu alcance. Não poderia aliviá-lo por obediência a Deus que me pedira: ‘Silencia-te!’ Precisei de muita resignação e fé até que chegasse o momento acertado. Quando em Nazaré o vi se afastar todo abatido, depois de um breve adeus, meu coração chorou...”
“Foi preciso esperar, rezar e perdoar o justo desdém até obter de Deus a intervenção a meu favor. Fechada em casa onde tudo me fazia recordar a Anunciação, a Encarnação e onde tudo falava de José, tive de enfrentar as tremendas insinuações de Satanás... Rezar e esperar, pois é preciso esperar além de todas as medidas... Rezar sem desconfiança, perdoar para serdes perdoados. Lutar contra todo o desânimo que quer vos aprisionar no desespero. É preciso aceitar o silêncio antes da Páscoa....”
À sombra de uma macieira, Maria estava pálida e olhos inchados... Não sem motivos! Com olhar suplicante chegou José. Ele acreditara piamente nas palavras do Mensageiro que lhe fora enviado porque tinha a convicção sincera de que Deus é Bom. Foi orientado a se casar com Maria, respeita-la e ser seu fiel esposo. E entendendo o privilégio que lhe fora confiado, abriu um sorriso, aceitou o papel honroso de pai adotivo e passou sua vida no anonimato como exemplo de abnegação, amor e humildade. Assim como Isabel, ele conheceu por Vontade Divina quem era MARIA!!
Ao vê-lo diante dela, Maria empalideceu. Olhar de interrogação. O de José era de súplica: “Maria, quero te pedir perdão!” E tentou se ajoelhar, coisa que Maria o impediu. “Perdão Maria! Eu te ofendi com minha suspeita... E quem suspeita não conhece!.. Eu não te conhecia como devia. Mas pela dor que sofri, perdoa-me!.. Ah! Que dor, que suplício!...”
Maria plena de amor tocou-lhe as mãos e sorriu. Parecia estar lhe absolvendo. “Não tenho nada a perdoar. Eu é que te peço perdão pela dor que te causei. Deus me pediu uma obediência que me custou demais justamente pela dor que te causou. Sou serva de Deus e servos não discutem ordens. Executam-nas...”
Maria chorava em silêncio enquanto falava. José a tomou pelas mãos e as beijou. Mais descontraído agora passou a falar sobre o casamento. “Na semana que vem estaria bem? Esta tarde já vou avisar os parentes. Vamos providenciar tudo que é preciso para a chegada.... Ah! Como poderei eu receber Deus em minha casa?? Ter Deus em meus braços?? Isso me fará morrer de alegria!!...” Maria não se conteve e chorou. Um choro de felicidade. “Alegra-te José!! A estirpe de Davi já tem seu Rei e nossa casinha vai se tornar mais majestosa que o Palácio de Salomão!!... Aqui será o Céu!! Nós dividiremos com Deus a Paz que mais tarde os homens conhecerão... Oh! José! Ouviremos a vozinha de um menino-Deus nos chamar ‘papai e mamãe!...”
(Maria fala a Valtorta) “Deixai ao Senhor o cuidado de proclamar-vos seus servos. Ele tem pressa disso. Cada criatura que é elevada a uma missão particular é mais uma glória acrescida à Sua... É um novo testemunho que se espelha em seu Autor. Permanecei na sombra e no silêncio para merecerdes o Sol que resplandece sobre vós e em vós. Oh! Luz felicíssima que és, meu Deus!! És a alegria dos teus servos!! Que eles exultem com humildade, louvando-Te e amando-Te até os esplendores do Teu Reino!...”
O semblante de Maria transparecia a Suprema Dádiva de ser Mãe! Rosto sereno. Docemente majestoso de quem atingia a plenitude com sua Maternidade. Ela não conheceu a corrupção do tempo nem sua juventude murchou com o passar dos anos. Atingiu idade perfeita ao dar à luz. A mesma com que subiu ao Céu e em seu corpo glorificado permanecerá eternamente!...
Se no Calvário pareceu envelhecida, era como se um véu de dor encobrisse sua incorruptível pessoa. Ao ver Seu Jesus ressuscitado tornou-se novamente a criatura belíssima, como se das chagas tivesse bebido o elixir que anulou a ação do tempo e da dor. Assim como os Anjos todos os homens serão eternamente belos no Eterno Presente que é Deus!..
O EVANGELHO COMO ME FOI REVELADO - MARIA VALTORTA.

Six Bordas & Bordas Attorneys Named 2024 W.Va. Super Lawyers
Bordas & Bordas is proud to announce that six attorneys have been selected to the 2024 West Virginia Super Lawyers list. Bordas & Bordas attorneys Jamie Bordas, Linda Bordas, Geoffrey Brown, Scott Blass, Jason Causey and Richard Monahan were selected as 2024 West Virginia Super Lawyers. Jamie Bordas, managing partner of Bordas & Bordas since 2005, has been a West Virginia Super Lawyer for over a decade. Bordas spearheads Bordas & Bordas’ operations across multiple states and jurisdictions. An extremely accomplished litigator, Bordas has concentrated on the negotiation and resolution of the firm’s most complex and significant cases, including mass tort settlements of $36,500,000 and $18,500,000 and a single plaintiff settlement of over $18,000,000. In 2019, he served as lead counsel for a plaintiff at trial and presented the Oral Argument before the West Virginia Supreme Court in a case that resulted in a $16,922,000 verdict against Walmart. The verdict is believed to be one of the largest, if not the largest, verdicts in the history of Wood County, West Virginia, on behalf of a single plaintiff. He has also obtained a $10 million verdict in an insurance bad faith case in Belmont County, Ohio. In 2023, Bordas argued a case, Harris v. Hilderbrand, Slip Opinion No. 2023-Ohio-3005, before the Ohio Supreme Court where the Court unanimously ruled that police officers do not have immunity from negligent acts with K9 officers outside of duty. He also served as appellate counsel in Brown v. City of Oil City in which the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania decided in May 2023 that a contractor who has created a dangerous condition through work performed for a possessor of land may be liable to all persons suffering injuries caused by the dangerous condition. Bordas works on cases involving diverse areas of law, including insurance bad faith, toxic torts, personal injury, medical malpractice, oil and gas cases, business litigation and more. He has frequently been invited to speak to groups of attorneys on techniques applicable to trial skills, negotiation, mediation and resolution of cases as a result of his reputation for getting the best possible results for his clients. He has led the firm’s expansion into Pittsburgh and the rest of Western Pennsylvania and the opening of the firm’s Gateway Center offices in Pittsburgh. Linda Bordas, also a partner, founded Bordas & Bordas with her husband Jim Bordas when she joined his practice upon graduating from law school in 1985. She had previously worked as a hospital pharmacist and immediately applied her background to become one of West Virginia’s most successful medical malpractice attorneys. Linda has obtained numerous major verdicts and settlements in almost every area of medicine and handled appeals that have expanded the rights of patients and especially the families of children who were injured or killed as a result of negligence. She obtained a verdict of $2 Million in Davis vs. Wang, which involved the death of an infant due to medical negligence. That case also significantly affected the law in West Virginia for jury selection and juror bias in medical negligence cases and cases in general. She also obtained a $2,500,000 verdict in Klamut vs. Youssef in a case involving the death of woman as a result of medical negligence involving radiation oncology. In Andrews vs. Reynolds, she obtained a $2,760,000 verdict following the death of an infant, and helped establish law regarding loss of future wages for the survivors in a wrongful death action. In Mackey vs. Irisari, Linda obtained a $1.8 Million verdict following the failure of physicians to recognize signs of septic shock following a surgery. In Nickerson vs. Andreini, she obtained a $1 Million verdict on behalf of a young boy who required a hip replacement as a result of negligence by an orthopedic surgeon. She has also obtained multiple multi-million dollar settlements on behalf of other clients in medical malpractice cases involving various areas of medicine. Geoffrey Brown, a partner at Bordas & Bordas, has been a West Virginia Super Lawyer for 12 years. He concentrates his work on the firm’s complex litigation and medical malpractice cases. He has obtained major jury verdicts not only in medical malpractice, but also in cases of stockbroker negligence, workplace injury, and wrongful death. Brown has earned a reputation for comprehensive preparation and attention to detail in theses demanding areas of law. He has obtained multi-million-dollar verdicts in West Virginia and Ohio. Brown has also been involved in Bordas & Bordas’ business litigation department and has handled multi-jurisdictional contract disputes involving Fortune 500 companies and representation of individuals before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) arbitration panel. Scott Blass has been a West Virginia Super Lawyer for 14 years. Blass has been litigating complex civil cases for over 30 years. He has obtained seven-figure verdicts on behalf of his clients in diverse areas of the law, including verdicts of over $4 million in a product liability case, $8 million in an auto accident case, $1.4 million in an insurance bad faith case, and $5.7 million in a medical malpractice case. Blass has also represented the families of oil and gas workers killed in fires/explosions and obtained settlements of $19 million and $19.5 million. He has been recognized as one of the foremost insurance bad faith and insurance coverage lawyers in West Virginia. Jason Causey has been a West Virginia Super Lawyer for the past seven years. Causey is a leader in consumer law in the State of West Virginia. Through aggressive litigation, he has saved dozens of homes from foreclosure. In 2011, Causey and one of the firm’s founding partners, Jim Bordas, were forced to trial against Quicken Loans in an effort to save the home of two Wheeling, West Virginia, women from foreclosure. In addition to saving the home, they obtained a verdict of nearly $3,000,000 in this predatory lending action. In 2016, Jim Bordas and Causey teamed up again for a $1,700,000 result against a municipality after a broke water-main flooded a local business. In 2017, Causey along with his co-counsel, obtained an $11,000,000 judgment in a consumer class action against Quicken Loans. Richard Monahan has been a West Virginia Super Lawyer since 2020. Monahan has been representing West Virginia citizens and consumers for more than 29 years. Among his successful trials, he has obtained verdicts and judgments of $3.9 million in a wrongful death action arising from a motor vehicle collision and $2.5 million in a retaliatory discharge case. He has also worked in complex litigation, including substantially contributing to class actions involving natural gas rights, product liability claims involving defective drugs, and other consumer claims resulting in verdicts or settlements in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Monahan is also known for his extensive appellate work. In addition to his involvement in numerous appeals before the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals, he also fully briefed and argued a case before the United States Supreme Court, resulting in a unanimous decision in favor of West Virginia class action plaintiffs in Smith v. Bayer Corp., 564 U.S.299 (2011). He was selected as Appellate Lawyer of the Week for his argument in that case by The National Law Journal. Super Lawyers, part of Thomson Reuters, is a rating service of outstanding lawyers from more than 70 practice areas who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. The annual selections are made using a patented multiphase process that includes a statewide survey of lawyers, an independent research evaluation of candidates and peer reviews by practice area. The result is a credible, comprehensive and diverse listing of exceptional attorneys. Bordas & Bordas is a plaintiff’s litigation law firm with offices in Pittsburgh, Wheeling, W.Va., St. Clairsville, Ohio, and Moundsville, W.Va. The firm’s attorneys practice throughout the region in diverse areas of law and are licensed in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, and Texas. Read the full article

Voltamos a esse app após tanto tempo..
É irônico eu voltar ao mesmo que fez tudo dar errado, não falei esta verdade a ninguém..
Meu pai não tinha me pressionado após ter visto uma ft, ou um chat ou qlqr coisa
Ele viu o tumblr, as fts das pessoas q eu seguia na época, no caso, de outros casais.
Ele usou estas fotos pra me pressionar e eu acabei por "confessar"... Além de ter sido idiota, por ter confiado a princípio, ter sido desleixado e ter cedido um intervalo de 15s pra ir ao banheiro com o cell desbloqueado, ter sido fraco e ignorante. Acima de tudo, eu coloquei de volta no fogo a pessoa que me mostrou a felicidade.
Em meio a tantos problemas e perigos, você quis continuar me vendo, eu, joguei fora duas vezes..
Existe uma música, do único cantor que me cativa em Todas as produções, Passenger - David.. Em um trecho da letra, a passagem "David we lost you, lost a long time ago" me faz repensar, junto a letra inteira, no que eu fiz comigo mesmo.
Eu tinha planos, desejos, vontade, felicidade.. Tinha me encontrado e estava bem em todos os aspectos, por três curtos meses, eu fui feliz.. Nunca em minha vida além deste momento eu sorri...
Ter te perdido, ter te machucado, ter lhe causado problemas é e sempre será a agulha na qual me escoro, a agulha q me impede de cair e nunca mais levantar..
Eu me perdi naquele dia e hoje sou apenas uma sombra, cujo unico desejo é compensar o erro que cometi a muito tempo.
Este sentimento que transcende e domina tudo o que faço, ao dormir você aparece em todos os meus sonhos; ao pensar em algo pro futuro a primeira preocupação é "pra onde ele irá?"; ao levantar todos os dias e desejar que tudo fora apenas um pesadelo; ir tomar banho e passar horas sentado no chão, chorando e com frio, por sentir falta daquela felicidade e em meio a tantos outros exemplos a única pessoa que sempre aparece é você..
Fazem mais de 4 anos, mudamos, crescemos e andamos pelo universo.. Nunca mais poderei desfazer o que fiz, muito menos consertar o pecado que cometi em vida. Tanto tempo depois e mesmo assim, o sentimento continua o mesmo.. E a razão é simples, não me matei até hoje, fui feliz e entendi que eu não estava errado por ser gay ao termos nos aproximado... Foi uma "troca", uma injustiça do destino provocada por dois ogros que oficialmente são meus pais, mas são as pessoas mais detestáveis que já conheci, ignorantes que dizem amar alguém o machucando...
Essa troca foi a felicidade pela perda da mesma, para ti não foi tão importante por não ter ocorrido o completo oposto contigo, o que prefiro milhões de vzs que fosse assim.
Já é bastante difícil de lidar com o que causei a ti...
E a troca teve um preço, toda a felicidade de uma vida em 3 meses, não consigo mais fingir estar sorridente, que estou bem, fingir ainda existir aquele mesmo Davi feliz e alegre que vivia em um mundo perfeito.
Este Davi se perdeu, estar vagando por este mundo é minha penitência, meu próprio inferno.
Conviver com meus carrascos
Tendo de estudar em um lugar ao qual eles me enviarem
Vendo todas as pessoas ao meu redor crescendo e conquistando coisas valiosas
Enquanto a única coisa que quero é deixar de existir, mas
Não faço isso, é uma penitência que possui momentos de luz
Somente ouvir a voz da pessoa que me alegrou tanto naquele passado distante
Ver uma das 3 unicas fotos que temos
Lembrar deste passado, que surgiram no momento em que minha mente criou sua "supermemoria"
Porém esta luz um dia ira se apagar
Todas as pequenas luzes um dia se apagam, passei muito tempo tentando criar outras desesperadamente, mas não consigo
Sua luz consumiu todo o gás do meu ser, hoje vivo de faíscas e da sua luz no centro de tudo, fraca e lentamente apagando
Mas a vida é assim
Você estando happy é meu objetivo
Seja comigo por perto ou não
Eu tentarei viver sozinho apartir do dia em que eu mesmo colocar este não, quero saber por quanto tempo aguento este inferno de vida sem ter um respiro...
Não posso ser para sempre uma preocupação para ti
Como também gostaria de nunca sair do seu abraço..
Mas, Koneko, eu já parti deste mundo faz muito tempo.
Só falta eu aceitar

One-Room Schoolhouses Make a Covid-19 Comeback—in Backyards and Garages
Kristen Grind / The Wall Street Journal
In the olden days, one-room schoolhouses were common across the country, many of them simple wood-frame buildings painted white.
Katy Young’s one-room school is going be a dome.
Ms. Young, who lives in the suburbs outside Berkeley, Calif., recently set up a 24-foot-round geodesic polyhedron in her backyard to host a small group of kindergarteners. An Airstream trailer parked nearby will serve as an administrative office.
The dome was built by Ms. Young’s husband, Randy, for use at Burning Man, the annual outdoor art festival in the Nevada desert. But with Burning Man canceled this summer, the structure is being repurposed for her kindergarten son and five classmates, whose Mandarin-language school has switched to distance learning in the fall.
“We’re calling it ‘dome school,’ ” said Ms. Young, a lawyer.
With thousands of schools across the country moving to partial or full remote learning in the fall, parents are racing to form small at-home schooling groups or “pandemic pods,” groups of children who will be taught together. Some parents are hiring teachers to help guide the students through remote learning, while others plan to devise lesson plans on their own.
But finding a place to host the mini schools is proving to be a challenge. Even for parents that have the space, hosting students inside seems iffy because of social-distancing guidelines. Plus, many parents are working from home and don’t want the distraction.
Liam Honigsberg set up a school for his 6-year-old son and his classmates on a side street in Davis, Calif.
Nadia Honigsberg
For parents without the space or financial means for elaborate setups, the challenge can be even greater. Shauna Causey, founder and chief executive of Weekdays Micro-Schools, a website that helps organize schooling pods, says some families are retrofitting their dining rooms or basements, or taking over local parks.
Holding school outside comes with its own set of issues: What about Wi-Fi and bathroom access? Is there enough space for students to sit 6 feet apart? What happens when it rains?
Parents are devising workarounds. In Davis, Calif., Liam Honigsberg rolled out several Ikea benches and chairs, and erected a shade canopy at the end of a small side street for his 6-year-old son and his friends for the coming school year. Mr. Honigsberg said he suspects that setting up in the street is probably illegal.
If it gets too cold in the winter, the class might end up in down jackets in his open garage.
“The spirit of American innovation is sort of the centerpiece of where I was going with this,” said Mr. Honigsberg, who works in education technology.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom recently mandated that most school districts across the state begin the academic year with full-time distance learning.
Sage Cohen, the mother of a sixth-grader in Portland, Ore., thought her recently renovated garage would make the perfect location for a home school. Portland Public Schools is planning a fall schedule that is largely remote, and she didn’t want her son to toil alone.
Ms. Cohen’s space has several windows that can be opened during the summer months and closed during the wet ones.
Then she stumbled onto a problem: she didn’t have anywhere for children to go to the bathroom. She is considering bringing in a port-a-potty or installing a compost toilet. “I’ve never done anything like this before,” she said.
In Renton, Wash., Lynzora Lowmax cleared her basement of her families’ belongings and converted it into a home-school pod for her young children and a couple of neighbors. “They’re not used to being down there, so when we go down, they know it’s time to get on schedule,” she said. Ms. Lomax plans to teach the class herself.
Lynzora Lowmax of Renton, Wash., converted her basement into a home-school pod.
Weekdays Micro-School
In cities, where extra space and backyards are scarce, parents are looking at renting empty storefronts and churches.
New York City schools are planning to open in the fall with only partial in-person instruction for more than one million students.
Josh Skyer, who owns commercial real estate in Brooklyn, is hoping to interest one or more home-school pods in renting a vacant store and condominium space he owns in the Cobble Hill neighborhood.
“I would get Wi-Fi, throw a flat-screen on the wall and build it out to be a luxury school house for the kids,” said Mr. Skyer.
Michelle Luxmore plans to turn the cottage she built in her Seattle yard into a school for her son and his classmates.
Michelle Luxmore
Michelle Luxmore, a real-estate agent in Seattle, is finishing an 800-square-foot cottage in her backyard that she had planned to rent through the home-sharing platform Airbnb Inc.
Instead, she plans to turn it into a school for her 6-year-old and his classmates, and wants to help other parents build similar structures in their yards. Seattle’s regulations recently changed to allow for such structures up to 1,000 square feet, but a permit is required.
“Some people that I talk to are like, ‘Really? Why would I do that?’ and I’m like, ‘Hear me out,’ ” Ms. Luxmore said.
Seattle Public Schools is planning to hold school remotely in the fall.
Ms. Young, who erected the dome, said she already is anticipating some of her neighbors complaining, as they did when she parked her Airstream in the yard. “We’re going to ask for forgiveness rather than permission,” she said.
Like many other parents, Ms. Young was stressed about what to do with her son after his school announced recently it would go fully remote.
Then Mr. Young remembered the collapsible dome he had spent about three months building for Burning Man, which typically takes place each August.
Randy Young built the dome to use at the Burning Man festival in Nevada.
Katy Young
Made of old parachute material and aluminum piping, the dome will withstand light drizzle, but if it rains hard, the couple plans to throw some tarps on top or move the whole structure indoors. Inside of it, they plan to set up tables, workstations and portable heaters for the winter months.
It took the Youngs about three hours to set it up in the yard. Mr. Young carved a “Dome School” sign to hang out front.
“I am super happy to reuse it now,” he said.

The other day I got into a brief discussion of cover mentions throughout the history of the science fiction magazine.
Of course we all focus on the cover image first, but unless it is a really extraordinary sample of the genre’s art (between BEMs and brass brassieres it’s a bit tough to hit “extraordinary”) the very next thing we look at are the names of the authors to be found within.
To the first time buyer, these mean little to nothing. To the aficionado however, they can serve as an instant assessment of the expected quality of the issue. Lots of top names, stands a chance of being an excellent issue. No recognizable authors – well, either the title is on its way out (the editors are scraping the bottom of the submission barrel) or – we’re about to discover the next great thing to come down the genre pike. This latter possibility can only be found in the “vanishingly small probability” box, and represents more of a hope for the reader than a real possibility.
I decided to take a look at how the various magazine titles handled this bit of self-promotion. I then decided to use 1953 as my exemplar year.
Why 1953? Because 1953 was THE banner year for science fiction and fantasy magazines. And because the frenzy surrounding this boom year somewhat resembles what we’ve been seeing for the past several years – an explosion of electronic magazine titles, each of which carefully lists it’s available contents.
1953 was also a year in which the genre was changing; more markets meant that more authors could stretch, had a few more places they could pitch to. Many of the “old guard” were still publishing, and a lot of familiar names had become firmly established. The short story was still the dominant form for the genre and thus, it’s at least as good a year as any other to pick on.
(Wikipedia only lists 219 SF novels published in 1953. There were undoubtedly a handful of others, but this is a pretty good indicator of how few novels were published, as opposed to short fiction in the magazines.)
Here’s a gallery, displaying the magazine covers from 1953, in alphabetical order by magazine title.

Text markup key: A bolded name is an author who still resonates today (at least in my estimation); italics indicate a pseudonym – sometimes a house name, sometimes not; a number in ellipses indicated that the author was cover mentioned more than once during the year’s run.
The numbers following the names related the ration of female/male mentions for the year’s run. The best that can be said about this is that Space Stories managed to achieve 33%, while the majority of the magazines featured no female authors.
***
Thirty Eight different titles, if we include serious name changes:
Amazing Stories, Astounding Science Fiction, Avon Science Fiction and Fantasy Reader, Beyond Fantasy Fiction, Cosmos Science Fiction and Fantasy Magazine, Dynamic Science Fiction, Famous Fantastic Mysteries,Fantastic Adventures, Fantastic*, Fantastic Story, Fantastic Universe, The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, Fantasy, Fantasy Fiction*, Future Science Fiction, Galaxy Science Fiction, Galaxy Science Fiction Novels, If Worlds of Science Fiction, Orbit Science Fiction, Other Worlds, Planet Stories, Rocket Stories, Science Fiction Adventures, Science Fiction Plus, Science Fiction Quarterly, Science Fiction Stories, Science Stories*, Space Science Fiction, Space Stories, Spaceway, Startling Stories, Thrilling Wonder Stories, Tops in Science Fiction, Two Complete Science-Adventure Books, Universe Science Fiction, Vortex Science Fiction, Weird Tales, Wonder Story Annual. (*This was a title change) (and I’ve got 32 of the 38 first issues in my personal collection!)
Phew!
Incidentally, if you’d purchased all of these at the newsstand back in the day, it would have set you back a grand total of $55.80. Adjusted for inflation, it would be a bit over $500 bucks today. That’s a bit low. There are 176 issues in question and current asking price for a digest magazine on the stands these days is $7.99. At that price, these issues would have set you back about $1400.00. This suggests that things really were cheaper back then! (It’s also a lot easier to scrape up 25 cents looking for pennies on the street than it is to find $7.99….)
Beyond anything else, I simply can not imagine what it must have been like to be standing in front of the racks of a 1953 news shop. During they heyday of my purchasing magazines from news shops, I had Amazing, F&SF, Fantastic, Galaxy, If, Analog, Odyssey, Galileo, and a handful of reprint mags to choose from, as well as a number of “graphic” magazines like Heavy Metal and “media” magazines like Star Warp. I’d have been overwhelmed and terribly frustrated to find 38 different titles – I wouldn’t be able to choose which ones to spend my nickles on!
Truth be told, though, the regularity of these magazines was anything but regular. If you averaged out their production over twelve months, there’d only be 15 titles to choose from at any given time.
No doubt quality suffered to some degree, but the chances of finding good stories was also increased.
Note, interestingly, that only 45 percent of these titles include the identifier “science fiction” in their name. Among those that don’t include “science fiction”, seven consist of a descriptor and the word “stories”: Amazing, Planet, Rocket, Science, Space, Startling, Thrilling Wonder, and two a descriptor plus “story” – Fantastic and Wonder.
I think it safe to say that the majority of magazines back in 1953 still felt the need to be very specific about what they were offering readers. The cover image was apparently not quite enough, though I’m sure they worked hand-in-hand: the outre image would catch your eye and the properly worded title would confirm your suspicions: rocketships plus “Amazing” equals “science fiction”. (Anyone seeing a scantily clad “space babe” and hoping for titillation was going to be sorely disappointed, and unlikely to be interested in anything “science stories”.)
Those two elements were probably believed to be sufficient come-ons to new customers, none of whom had a computer or databases to consult. (In fact, whether or not you ever even saw a particular title on the newsstands was often hit or miss: if the magazine distributor didn’t cover a particular territory (or deliver to that territory that month), you’d never see the issue(s).
But then, most of the magazines also went ahead and put two other items on their covers. Frequently a statement about the contents was made -All New Stories!- and the title and author of at least one story listed on the table of contents.
I find it interesting that they felt a need to proclaim “All Stories Complete!” “All New Fiction!” and even “A Selection of the Best Stories of Fantasy and Science Fiction, new and old.” This was of course due to the fact that there were numerous reprint magazines on the stands (Famous Fantastic Mysteries among them) and woe to the reader who spent that hard-earned quarter, only to discover contents they’d already read!
Another thing regularly stuck on the cover of these ‘zines was a sort of sub-title: Strange Adventures on Other Worlds…Preview of the Future…Stories of the Future…Science Fiction…Best in Fantasy….
If you stand back and take a look at all of the covers shown previously, you may notice that there seem to be two general format layouts – “framed” and “unframed”, and further that the unframed titles break down into two sub-groups – boxes or no boxes.
Framed layouts present the cover image, untouched, and surround it with (usually) an inverted ‘L’ shaped border (Galaxy, Space Stories), while unframed titles print a full-sized cover image and slap text directly over the image. Some of these restrict the listing of contents or highlighted story in an opaque box (which is printed over the image).
It seems that two different schools of design thought were expressing themselves. Both have advantages: unframed present a larger image, framed present one that lets you see everything, no textual interruptions, please, but are small in area.
Also note that 1953 was a year of transition for magazine format: some of the titles shown were published in “pulp” format (about 9 inches tall), such as Two Complete Science-Adventure Tales and Fantastic Adventures, while most had or were switching to the familiar digest (about 7 inches tall) format – such as Fantastic Universe and Galaxy.
The larger format almost exclusively utilized an unframed layout, while many of the digests went with the framed format, though not exclusively. Notably, Amazing Stories seems to be all over the place.
Now, with all that being said…why’d they put those names on the cover?
These magazines had three basic markets they were trying to reach – the educated fan, the fan who didn’t know they were a fan, the casual reader.
The publishers didn’t really have to worry about the educated fan too much; chances were they were a subscriber, or belonged to a club that subscribed, or had fellow fans who shared issues around. Fan readers of SF&F were always hungry for more and needed no other motivation than “the new issue is on the stands” to go and seek it out.
Further, this kind of consumer had already developed their tastes and would have been pretty familiar with the regularly published authors and those who were considered to be headliners. Any given name on the cover stood a 50-50 chance of attracting or deterring that reader. You could get a lot for a quarter and a dime back then – almost a beer, almost a movie ticket; Mark Watney would probably like to know that ten pounds of potatoes cost the same as a magazine.
I ponder the wisdom of a promotional campaign that runs the risk of turning your potential customer off, up to fifty percent of the time.
On the other hand, publishers, at least in regards to this demographic, were probably counting on a few other things as well: most fans were rabid fans by necessity. Even if every single author in a given issue was disliked, there was still the editorial and the letter column (often worth the price of admission alone), whatever other features might be included and, of course, the cover, along with the interior illustrations. (Remember those?) Having probably already been through the demise of many prior titles, the experienced fan back then probably had a well-honed sense of historical preservation. All of which would tend to encourage them to ignore front cover unpleasantness.
One thing is for sure though: this segment of the market didn’t have to be sold. They were already bought and paid for. The only competition a magazine faced with this particular buyer was whether or not a competing title was more “attractive” this month. Which suggests that one purpose of the names on the cover was to play one-ups-manship with the other titles.
This then leaves us with two segments – the unrealized fan and the casual reader.
The only difference between these two market segments is that the unrealized fan reader might have heard of an author or two. I stress might, since the novels they might have been exposed to were few and far between and no one was advertising SF magazines on television or radio, nor even in the mass-circulation magazines of the day. You weren’t going to see Isaac Asimov on a Wheaties box (though this might not be a bad idea…), Jack Parr wasn’t interviewing Ray Bradbury and the movies they might have caught rarely, if ever, mentioned the origin of their script.
Space Patrol, Tom Corbett, Tales of Tomorrow (ended this year), some fans might have caught Atom Squad, some kids were maybe watching Johnny Jupiter, Rod Brown was competing with Tom, and it would be several years before Science Fiction Theater, The Twighlight Zone and Men Into Space would grace the small screen; these 1953 television shows did little to elevate the profile of the science fiction author.
Likewise, radio (still a popular medium) wasn’t producing much of serious fan interest either: Dimension X had been off the air for a couple of years, and it would be a couple more before X Minus One would air (both prominently featured stories largely drawn from Astounding Science Fiction). The radio companion for Space Patrol was airing, but, again, any author involved probably tried to keep as low a profile as possible.
The only real benefit any of the magazines might have derived from these other media might have been creating the initial interest in the subject matter. Given the right circumstances, it is entirely possible that a consumer walking past a newsstand would make the connection between a television show featuring outer space and the image of a rocketship on the cover of one of the magazines.
This works, potentially, for the unrealized fan, though it begs a question: why didn’t any of the magazines attempt to capture this television show audience with various forms of tie-in? (Tom Corbett Isn’t the ONLY Space Cadet. We’ve got space cadets in every issue! A New Short Story by the author of the latest Tales of Tomorrow episode!) It could be suggested that most of SF on television back in the day was focused on “kids”, and that the magazines were going after an older audience, but most of the magazines on sale were perceived, at least by the general public, as being kid-stuff too. I can imagine a well-meaning parent, noting their child’s interest in Space Cadets, picking up a copy of Universe, or Science Fiction Plus, or Science Fiction Adventures (check out the cover art) as an attempt to support the kid’s interest. But then again, we’re talking about an era that generally despised science fiction, so it’s more likely that mom or dad would be scheduling homework time during Corbett’s 15 minute episodes….
The casual reader…the only thing I can imagine that would attract them to an SF pulp (or digest) would be the cover art, perhaps reinforced by one of the come-ons. But certainly not the names.
This of course brings us back full circle. It’s pretty well established that the names on the cover did little to help market these titles. Existing fans knew the titles and would pick them up regardless of who was featured; unrealized fans could make no informed judgement about the content, and the casual reader would be attracted by art and possibly blurbs.
So why? Why go to the trouble to select the names, why the belief that doing so was beneficial? There’s probably only two reasons: tradition (magazines had been printing the contents on the cover from the beginning) and ego boo: ego boo for the authors (who were getting paid very little and had only two sources of fan interaction – letters and conventions. Not to mention wanting to keep valued authors on the submission hook. And ego boo for the editors and publishers who got to brag among themselves and play a game of one upsmanship.
So what have we got? Here’s the list, most cover mentions to least, in alphabetical order. There are quite a few names we still engage with these days…and quite as many we have forgotten.

PERDÃO MARIA!! DIZIA JOSÉ...😊🧕
Ao vê-lo diante dela, Maria empalideceu. Olhar de interrogação. O de José era de súplica: “Maria, quero te pedir perdão!” E tentou se ajoelhar, coisa que Maria o impediu. “Perdão Maria! Eu te ofendi com minha suspeita... E quem suspeita não conhece!.. Eu não te conhecia como devia. Mas pela dor que sofri, perdoa-me!.. Ah! Que dor, que suplício!...”
Maria plena de amor tocou-lhe as mãos e sorriu. Parecia estar lhe absolvendo. “Não tenho nada a perdoar. Eu é que te peço perdão pela dor que te causei. Deus me pediu uma obediência que me custou demais justamente pela dor que te causou. Sou serva de Deus e servos não discutem ordens. Executam-nas...”
Maria chorava em silêncio enquanto falava. José a tomou pelas mãos e as beijou. Mais descontraído agora passou a falar sobre o casamento. “Na semana que vem estaria bem? Esta tarde já vou avisar os parentes. Vamos providenciar tudo que é preciso para a chegada.... Ah! Como poderei eu receber Deus em minha casa?? Ter Deus em meus braços?? Isso me fará morrer de alegria!!...” Maria não se conteve e chorou. Um choro de felicidade. “Alegra-te José!! A estirpe de Davi já tem seu Rei e nossa casinha vai se tornar mais majestosa que o Palácio de Salomão!!... Aqui será o Céu!! Nós dividiremos com Deus a Paz que mais tarde os homens conhecerão... Oh! José! Ouviremos a vozinha de um menino-Deus nos chamar ‘papai e mamãe!...”
(Maria fala a Valtorta) “Deixai ao Senhor o cuidado de proclamar-vos seus servos. Ele tem pressa disso. Cada criatura que é elevada a uma missão particular é mais uma glória acrescida à Sua... É um novo testemunho que se espelha em seu Autor. Permanecei na sombra e no silêncio para merecerdes o Sol que resplandece sobre vós e em vós. Oh! Luz felicíssima que és, meu Deus!! És a alegria dos teus servos!! Que eles exultem com humildade, louvando-Te e amando-Te até os esplendores do Teu Reino!...”
O semblante de Maria transparecia a Suprema Dádiva de ser Mãe! Rosto sereno. Docemente majestoso de quem atingia a plenitude com sua Maternidade. Ela não conheceu a corrupção do tempo nem sua juventude murchou com o passar dos anos. Atingiu idade perfeita ao dar à luz. A mesma com que subiu ao Céu e em seu corpo glorificado permanecerá eternamente!... ASSIM COMO OS ANJOS!
Se no Calvário pareceu envelhecida, era como se um véu de dor encobrisse sua incorruptível pessoa. Ao ver Seu Jesus ressuscitado tornou-se novamente a criatura belíssima, como se das chagas tivesse bebido o elixir que anulou a ação do tempo e da dor. Assim como os Anjos todos os homens serão eternamente belos no Eterno Presente que é Deus!..
JESUS - Evangelho Maria Valtorta🌹

CAROLINA APOIA JOSÉ LORETO
Carolina Dieckmann, colega de elenco do ator José Loreto na novela O Sétimo Guardião, foi uma das artistas que manifestou solidariedade ao ator, que publicou em sua rede social um pedido de desculpas a sua ex-mulher a atriz Débora Nascimento.
+Atriz da Globo, Letícia Colin grava Tamanho Família e exalta tia que integrou Domingão do Faustão
Nos comentários no Instagram Carol escreveu: “Zé, estou torcendo por você, por vocês. Muito. Que o amor seja maior e capaz de transformar tudo, hoje e sempre”.

No post o ator escreve um texto emocionado onde pede desculpas a amada Débora Nascimento. ““Errei sim, manchei o teu nome.” Débora, você tem todas as razões para estar magoada comigo. Te dei motivos, indícios, diria que até provas, que eu mesmo, se estivesse no seu lugar, diria que são inquestionáveis. Mas a vida real às vezes surpreende até as “vidas de novela”. A realidade é cruel, tem conseqüências e verdades que não agradam à audiência. Na realidade do meu momento, preciso te dizer que não fui legal com você, cruzei fronteiras emocionais que hoje me arrependo profundamente. Não quero dar nomes, não posso fazê-lo. E também acredito que o reconhecimento de nossas falhas é um processo individual e intransferível. Sem contar que, apesar das evidências, eu te juro que nada aconteceu. Sei que é difícil de acreditar, mas nem sempre a verdade é translúcida. Peço perdão a você e à nossa filha, antes de quaisquer outras pessoas, pois vocês foram as verdadeiras vítimas da minha hesitação. Peço desculpas a todas as pessoas que, de alguma maneira, foram envolvidas neste espetáculo público que eu causei. Peço desculpas ao público que sempre me prestigiou por desapontá-lo. Peço desculpas a todas as mulheres que se sentiram ofendidas por essa situação. Peço a todos que, neste momento, me dêem a oportunidade de reencontrar o silêncio necessário para que a gente possa voltar a se ouvir. Peço ao universo que me ajude a te reconquistar, meu amor.”

CAROLINA APOIA JOSÉ LORETO
Carolina Dieckmann, colega de elenco do ator José Loreto na novela O Sétimo Guardião, foi uma das artistas que manifestou solidariedade ao ator, que publicou em sua rede social um pedido de desculpas a sua ex-mulher a atriz Débora Nascimento.

Nos comentários no Instagram Carol escreveu: “Zé, estou torcendo por você, por vocês. Muito. Que o amor seja maior e capaz de transformar tudo, hoje e sempre”.

+BBB19: Rodrigo se declara para Alan e emociona todos os participantes
No post o ator escreve um texto emocionado onde pede desculpas a amada Débora Nascimento. ““Errei sim, manchei o teu nome.” Débora, você tem todas as razões para estar magoada comigo. Te dei motivos, indícios, diria que até provas, que eu mesmo, se estivesse no seu lugar, diria que são inquestionáveis. Mas a vida real às vezes surpreende até as “vidas de novela”. A realidade é cruel, tem conseqüências e verdades que não agradam à audiência. Na realidade do meu momento, preciso te dizer que não fui legal com você, cruzei fronteiras emocionais que hoje me arrependo profundamente. Não quero dar nomes, não posso fazê-lo. E também acredito que o reconhecimento de nossas falhas é um processo individual e intransferível. Sem contar que, apesar das evidências, eu te juro que nada aconteceu. Sei que é difícil de acreditar, mas nem sempre a verdade é translúcida. Peço perdão a você e à nossa filha, antes de quaisquer outras pessoas, pois vocês foram as verdadeiras vítimas da minha hesitação. Peço desculpas a todas as pessoas que, de alguma maneira, foram envolvidas neste espetáculo público que eu causei. Peço desculpas ao público que sempre me prestigiou por desapontá-lo. Peço desculpas a todas as mulheres que se sentiram ofendidas por essa situação. Peço a todos que, neste momento, me dêem a oportunidade de reencontrar o silêncio necessário para que a gente possa voltar a se ouvir. Peço ao universo que me ajude a te reconquistar, meu amor.”

BUCCANEERS * Greg Auman reports that the Buccaneers will host five prospects from the University of Florida at their Local Workout Day on April 12, including OT Martez Ivey, DE CeCe Jefferson, G Tyler Jordan, TE C’yontai Lewis, and G Fred Johnson. * Auman confirmed that Tampa Bay will also host Auburn WR Ryan Davis, Alabama CB Saivion Smith, North Dakota State RB Bruce Anderson, Lehigh QB Brad Mayes, and Temple WR VentellBryant. * The Buccaneers will also host five USF prospects including DE/OLB Titus Davis, S Kyle Gibson, OLB Pat Jasinski, OT Wyatt Miller, and CB Rashard Causey, per Auman. * Tampa Bay will also host USF’s OLB Josh Black, CB Ronnie Hoggins, and CB Mazzi Wilkins.(Greg Auman) FALCONS Falcons owner Arthur Blank said the team is making progress on long-term deals for WR Julio Jones and DT Grady Jarrett. “Grady’s tagging gives the ability to work on that over a longer period of time and I think there will be progress being made on that,” Blank said via NFL Media’s Herbie Teope. “With Julio, we’re in conversations now not only with him, but his agents now. So, I think there will be progress there. It’s always a matter of time, it’s give and take, it takes longer than everybody wants, including the franchise, including the players. But we’re making good progress I think on both.” * According to Vaughn McClure, the Falcons sent scout Sae Woon Jo to Southern Utah to observe OL Marquez Tucker. * Kennesaw State WR Justin Sumpter will work out at the Falcons’ local pro day on April 5. (Vaughn McClure) PANTHERS New Panthers owner David Tepper was content with his team’s activity in free agency given Carolina’s salary constraints. “It wasn’t splashy,” Tepper said via Max Henson of the team site. “But if you look what people rated it – why does anything I say make any difference versus what people on the outside are saying? People generally thought we had a solid free agency. I think we had a very solid free agency. There’s no other way to say it.” * Tepper was impressed meeting LB Bruce Irvin, who will play a key role as the Panthers transition to more multiple fronts on defense this year:“Obviously, Irvin was a key to that. It makes a lot of sense in that scheme. I was in the building when he came. That’s the tallest linebacker I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot of good linebackers in my day down in Pittsburgh. I’ve never seen one with that length. I think there’s a respect for length as a pass rusher, and if that’s the scheme we’re going to do, he seems to fit into that scheme pretty well.” * Tepper added the team isn’t done shopping this offseason: “We have to get another offensive lineman, another pass rusher, another safety, running back. Those are the obvious ones.Could there be a quarterback somewhere [in the draft]? It’s not impossible.” * The Panthers recently hosted Florida State DE Brian Burns on a top-30 visit. Burns says the Panthers have probably shown the most interest in him so far. (Jonathan Jones) SAINTS * According to Josh Katzenstein, QB Teddy Bridgewater‘s deal includes a $1.25 million base salary and a $6 million signing bonus, all fully guaranteed. * The Saints added two voidable years to spread out the signing bonus, meaning Bridgewater counts just $3.25 million against the 2019 cap. * Per Josh Katzenstein, five other teams were in the mix for TE Jared Cook. * The Saints met with Iowa State WR Hakeem Butler before his pro day.

Bem movimentado aqui recentemente, não?
Isso nunca é um bom sinal... Enfim...
Não me vêm a cabeça nenhuma lembrança da qual creio já não ter falado aqui, então deixemos este capítulo em stand-bye por um período...
Eu ainda tenho de capital real por volta de 30Rs, provavelmente irei deixar pra provocar um colapso renal no dia 12/11... Tenho somente que não o adiantar turu, provavel que consiga....
Mas o foco desse post são as dores, especificamente as fisiológicas... Frequentemente minha barriga doe, na verdade sempre que presto atenção ou lembro dela eu volto a sentir alguma coisa... As vezes é por conta de leite, outras é por conta de gases, as vezes por motivos sobrenaturais visto que eu quase nada como então não era pra ter nada provocando mal estar.... A região da bexiga também, desde o dia em que uma pedra tapou o ureter e eu fui todo doído para o hospital pra solucionar as 19 horas sem mijar, desde esse dia eu passo por periodos de irritação na bexiga... As vezes eu fico com vontade de urinar mesmo sem ter nada pra sair, as vezes eu faço um esforço e nada sair... Um incômodo usual... Quanto o tórax, as vezes respirar dói, sinto algumas "pontadas" nos pontos mais baixos do que seria o meu pulmão... Como também sinto essas pontadas inesperadamente ao longo do dia... O problema recente novo é a garganta ressecada/inflamada que dificulta respirar/engolir e coisas do tipo....
É bom recordarmos do meu olho direito, cuja visão a distância é altamente difusa... Quando eu era pequeno eu costumava olhar para o sol com o olho direito quando eu fazia o caminho casa - escola de carro... Ao longo dos anos fizeram efeito, embora na época eu acreditava que nada ocorreria... Não preciso bem lembrar das pedras, embora nunca tenham provocado alguma dor real as vezes ocorrem incómodos... O da bexiga é o habitual, mas as vezes ao urinar eu acabo fazendo tanto esforço que algumas lágrimas caem sem eu querer....
Bem, este é o dia a dia doloroso de Davi, embora após tanto tempo assim você acaba se acostumando e ignora essas sensações incômodas, mas basta lembrar q existem pra tudo voltar....
Esse é o davizinho, o menino que so queria alegrar todas as pessoas...
Mas, conheceu crianças que tiveram azar mas ainda sim sorriam para tirar o peso dos outros...
Mas, sofreu por 2 meses um tratamento psra algo que sequer lhe fazia ficar mal..
Mas, acreditava que seus pais ficariam felizes ao verem seu filho também feliz...
Mas, sofreu bullying e injustiças do 2 ao 5 ano, enquanto tentava ajudar os amigos e controlar brigas...
Mas, passou 14 anos de sua vida sendo algo que não era, buscando um caminho diferente por se achar errado...
Mas, foi enviado para escolas, cursos e turmas erradas e diferentes, por diversos motivos e razões, os quais levaram a acontecimentos piores e/ou que poderia ter levado a uma vidinha mais calma e feliz..
Se juntarmos tudo, nada da esfera pessoal de certo nessa vida... Ao menos a entidade responsável pelo meu azar compensou e me deu "sorte" quanto ao resto... Tudo que não envolva minha felicidade da certo no final... HC quanto minha suspensão injusta, o Neves quanto minha expulsão inesperada, IF quanto minha reprovação revertida... Sempre tem alguem que me ajuda muito nesses momentos para fazer essas coisas darem certo.. E quando não tem, como as notas, provas e trabalhos, tudo sempre termina bem... Seja o professor faltar, estar de bom humor, a prova ser muito fácil ou algo do tipo... Quanto a desencontros com pessoas, tudo sempre se resolve de alguma forma... Quanto aos meus pais, o mesmo ocorre...
A unica santa coisa que nunca da certo é o que realmente importa...
Curiosamente algo que nunca deu certo, nem naturalmente e nem com muito esforço, foi L: mais uma prova dele ter sido o 3° erro desta vida zzz
É até estranho eu sempre estar sem muito com o que me preocupar e continuar tristinho... É um modus operanti praticamente...
Essa forma do universo compensar o que ocorreu é inútil... Não me importa o futuro ou o presente mais.... Eu quero consertar o passado, o meu erro...
Mas, isso é impossível...
E eu posso passar por mais 13 anos de jejum sentindo todas essas dores se acentuando a cada dia, mesmo assim não chega a significar um mísero segundo do momento em que te vi ir embora no último dia de aula e nada fiz...
Aquela cadeira, aquele ângulo e aquela tarde
Esse é uma das poucas lembranças que nunca revivi em sonhos
Meu cérebro sabe que eu não suportaria passar por este momento duas vezes, seja na vida real ou no imaginário....
Todo esse peso sendo suportado pelo pequeno Davi... Ele no fim, merece essa penitência, seu inconsciente sabe disso e o faz reelembrar de tudo todas as noites em que dorme... Revivendo lembranças, sempre sabendo que estou revivendo um momento mas nunca fazendo nada de diferente... Eu não consigo, simplesmente...
Koneko se eu pudesse eu iria me ajoelhar em brasas para demonstrar meu arrependimento... Mas você sequer esta mais nesse mundo... Somente em lembranças, o problema inicial: o tempo passa...
Mas era com você que eu estava junto e feliz, foi a você que eu causei problemas e te consequentemente fiz infeliz...
Eu polui uma memória feliz...
Por mais que eu chore, compense, peça desculpas ou reze, é imperdoável...
Meu cérebro nada mais faz o que eu sigo como filosofia, quem te faz ficar mal deve ser afastado...
O problema é que eu mesmo sou o motivo da minha própria tristeza, então como fugir de si?
Enquanto não souber esta resposta, estou fafado a lembrar do que é estar feliz para imediatamente ver tudo ser tirado de ti, por algo que você mesmo fez...
Ao menos, a solução pra este problema é simples: não dormir!
Não posso voltar a segurar sua mão se eu não sonhar mais, simples e efetivo... Porém, o cansaço uma hora vence...
E uma skill do Davi atual que não é alta é a stamina... Para conseguir passar o máximo de tempo sem se cansar, ter um metabolismo lento talvez ajude...
O que leva aos problemas da falta de fome e sede...
Obviamente não deve ser esse o motivo embora seja bem conveniente tururu
O que tiramos disso tudo é que claramente eu estou doente... Meus pais deveriam perceber e fazer algo a respeito, mas nem notam nada.... O que é o esperado visto a cegueira e incompetência total a tudo...... Mas, quanto aos amigos próximos? Bem, eu nunca contei a história toda a ninguem e os únicos que perceberiam a diferença são os do Neves... Os que sobraram de mais próximos é Maia, ao qual ainda não falei nem 1% dos ocorridos durante o IF então meio que fica difícil... Danoel e Nat nunca viram o Davi normal então não tem uma referência para trabalhar...
Um davi com pensamentos que remoem sobre si mesmo, avaliando o por que de cada passo enquanto procura tanto um destino, um motivo, um modo e um referencial....
E agora eu me pergunto, por que eu me sinto sozinho?
P a tempos perguntou por que eu gostava de pelúcias, depois dessa singela pergunta e comecei a filosofar no motivo de cada coisa bobinha da minha cabeça...
Essa é a pergunta para a qual não tenho resposta definitiva, mas tenho um palpite:
Eu me coloco em uma ilha deserta, com alguns coqueiros, algumas árvores e um espaço considerável para andar, tudo cercado pelas águas do oceano e absolutamente nada até o horizonte... Neste local, após um mês, eu teria feito talvez uma casa, umas roupas e até um boliche... Depois de um ano, quem sabe um mini hotel, um bunker subterrâneo e outras construções... Em 50 anos, eu teria torrado a paciência e começado a criar monumentos e explorado o mar com uma balsa... Porém, caso um tsunami ocorresse e destruisse tudo, ao retornar pra minha ilha eu iria encontrar alguma parte de minha história?
A resposta é simples, não irá...
O oceano apagou a sua história e somente você pode falar o que ocorreu...
Eu tenho medo do oceano, eu tenho medo de perder coisas, perder locais, perder lembranças, perder, pessoas...
Eu não gosto da mudança, pois ela as vezes substituí as provas do que ocorreu...
E esse passado então se torna uma história, igual a que eu estou a contar aqui, uma história a qual pode sofrer mudanças e divergir do real... Mesmo eu me esforçando muito, ainda tenho muitas lacunas e misturo muitas coisas.... Ter outra pessoa compartilhando essa história, tendo vivido nessa ilha, é um cenário perfeito!
Além de podermos contar a nossa história para os outros, poderíamos ainda passar tardes rindo sobre o dia em que tentamos abrir um coco com outro que caiu do coqueiro... Eu queria, koneko, poder conversar com você sobre todas as minhas e as suas lembranças, para assim montarmos o quebra-cabeça que foi a nossa relação...
Eu não gosto de estar sozinho por ter medo da minha história um dia ser apagada pelo oceano... Quem irá falar das pelúcias de Davi quando eu não estiver mais aqui?
Meu medo é que ninguém o faça...
Eu... preciso me recompor.... Volto já
