"It hurt to lose to Ronald Reagan. But after the election, I tried to make the transition as smooth as possible. Later, from my experience in trying to brief him on matters of supreme importance, I was very disturbed at his lack of interest. The issues were the 15 or 20 most important subjects that I as President could possibly pass on to him. His only reaction of substance was to express admiration for the political circumstances in South Korea that let President Park close all the colleges and draft all the demonstrators. That was the only issue on which he came alive."
-- Former President Jimmy Carter, on losing the 1980 election and the transition leading to the inauguration of Ronald Reagan, interview with TIME Magazine, October 11, 1982.

Aqui abro os caminhos desta ponte digital que pretende trazer ao mundo diversas pesquisas/insights/ferramentas/sonhos/receitas que me cutucarem a mente pedindo para ver a luz do sol (ou dos pixels), como tantas têm feito comigo ultimamente.
Como não estou ainda presa a nenhum formato, compromisso estético ou de conteúdo, vou permitir que este espaço tome a forma que achar necessário ao longo do tempo, crescendo na direção em que achar necessário.
O título vêm de um poema que escrevi para a paineira (Ceiba speciosa é o nome científico da árvore) em um desafio que propus pra mim mesma, para exercitar a escrita direcionada a algum tema, e escolhi uma árvore de um livro maravilhoso que tenho, chamado Árvores Brasileiras. Daí que gostei do poema e passei a gostar mais ainda da árvore, que carrega consigo tanta potência de ar, fluidez e movimento. Deixo aqui o poema também pra celebrar essa inauguração.

Ceiba speciosa
No campo
uma muda
ou uma semente a germinar?
No solo, à semi-sombra
cresce, se entronca
se põe a pintar
contra o céu,
prédio, escola,
Paineira-rosa-pincel
você mesma se pinta
e sobre seu travesseiro
lhe sonho num papel.
Árvore-de-lã
me leva em suave flor
faz meu Janeiro mais rosa
me ganha na sua prosa
num passeio canoa
de madeira paina a proa
quando o Sol se pôr.
Primavera de neve
com seu fruto leve
me neva o sonhar
entre suas plumas brancas
paina-de-seda
me banca os olhos
ensina a voar
desde o Sul à Belém do Pará.
Paineira, ainda me espanto
quando seu jeito manso
vem me visitar
à beira da estrada,
no mato, no vale,
pega carona com o vento
pra me abençoar.
Paina-me
Leva-me
Quero ser eu seu reino,
Rainha de ar.
(Esther Lourenço)
