Between dream and reality… .. "it is always time to learn" (ÉSQUILO)

“Here I am walking with the difficulties of those who live in times that are not their own”. We live in very strange times that penetrate our soul with sensations that we will never forget. We are aware that in order to win this war, it is really a war, we have to know how to use the only weapons with great intelligence, which for now, we have at our disposal: a lot of patience and the ability to deal with “these problems”, adapt to change, overcome obstacles and resist the pressure of situations that are adverse to us (resilience).
We have to recognize that these are essentially times of great distress, especially due to the real inability to predict the end of this instability that generates this anguish of isolation, because we have no idea how we will find ourselves when normality is returned to us, and that nothing it will have to do with the normality we knew, and the memory of the “pandemic situation of 2012 that hit Portugal and the Portuguese” is still very much alive.
There are those who still or do not realize that "we are in a state of national emergency", and behave as before the crisis, now with more vigor and even more media coverage. In addition to the incendiary covers of newspapers, and televisions at all times, they seem to collude to cause chaos. This is not journalism, it is pyromania. Anyone who sees a newspaper escapade, or turns on the Portuguese TV, adds to their worries fear, anguish and depression.
That is why we have to know and strive to face the future with great courage, take on the various problems and turn them into opportunities, keeping our minds well ventilated and our hearts open to the challenges that can be expected. That effort implies in each day learning to relate to our inner silence and remembering that everything in this life has a purpose; that there are no mistakes or coincidences: all events need us to learn from them. As Pope Francis said a few days ago: “Do the small things of each day with a big and open heart.”
 Júnior and I wish all the friends who “accompany” us these days a good afternoon, and have the “strength”, which is in our imagination that the key to freedom is found to enter the “house called reality ”, and the distance between a dream and reality is our ability and will! GOOD AFTERNOON!
