O Silêncio da Neve

Tenho mais de cinquenta anos e nunca tinha visto neve. Tinha visto umas ameaças, umas amostras, nunca nada a que pudesse chamar de neve. Caiu um nevão. Está tudo coberto de neve. Não. Nada.

Tinha visto em filmes mas nos filmes não se sente a neve. Não se ouve o silêncio da neve.

No início de Fevereiro fui numa viagem à Finlândia, Helsínquia e Rovaniemi, na Lapónia. E aí sim. Aí experiênciei a neve.

“Como são produzidas em quantidades astronómicas, os preços baixaram muito e as orquídeas estão hoje acessíveis a todos. No entanto, nunca serão flores comuns ou banais. Terão sempre a sua beleza especial, o seu estatuto de raridade, a sua aura de magia ou até de misticismo.”
― Jose M.M. Santos, A Paixão pelas Orquídeas - Manual do Orquidófilo

“Gostaria também que (este livro) fosse uma forma de podermos ter um país mais florido, com mais adeptos da orquidofilia e jardinagem em Portugal, porque esta «doença» incurável faz muito bem ao corpo, à mente e à alma.”
