The Cat on the Moon (a short story)









tree tomato

of orange color

is sweet

not very

It is a shrub

not too big

nor too tall


We had on a corner of the garden

a bench under it

there were old sounds from an age

some fables come from memory


the cat exhibitionist that climbed

a top of tamarillo

and when the light moon launched

its mysterious rays

led him to live there

I tried to see him there


once a time

I was seeking a signal

his tail

at least

anything to prove the story

as real


I heard a noise in the darkness

and something rolled near me

I did not know what there was

Was it a fruit from the egg tree?

Since my childhood

I have doubt


My grandfather appeared

and took a cat from the bushes

He gave me a golden kitty

- I think that he came from the moon. A gift.


And we called him Gold Moon.

but could have been called Gold Tomato too

I loved him


Long time after

I read about the

goddess Moon

Bastet.


I discovered many

cats name that represents

the Moon


I am someone who came from a place that never was. River water, calm lakes, waterfalls, edges where bushes and trees grow, the open field, the sky reflected in my hands in the trembling mirror of the river, the waits I am, this man lying in the river in the middle of autumn of my existence, loves his children, he likes to be alone, and he has a great company. I leave out the conceptual groups that put their finger on the face and follow fashion. I try not to be like that. In this boat, I am also the water where I sail. I take the sky with me, the fields, the flowers, and the fragrant herbs all my mornings. I am a being of the dawn. The scandal of nature in the voice of a bird, the incessant hum of the bells that insects make. I look like it, but I am not afraid of anything. I do not think I ever was. Indeed, my father, especially my mother, sweetly led me to read and write. I am always primary; I am still learning to read and write, row, and let the boat go safely. pmnt

When you make a mistake

Image
  I did not get motivated to do it I would not have intended to make it I never abandoned my values I love you, but I made a mistake. I do not feel guilty. I could not imagine you were leaving me. I understand it. I want you to be happy. I will be happy anyway. I go ahead to learn. Sometimes, we need to make a mistake. So, we learned from it, being aware of what we caused.  In some way, we learn through mistakes, making mistakes. The mistake is not on the other side of life. It is in the conjunction with what is correct.   ####### Pedro's Books

To be a hawk without being it.

Image
  Sometimes unexpected things happen, stranger in part. This little short story is about that and how we can overcome our pains through our courage. Like I say, It happens. We suffer from shame, the malign use of our confidence and goodness, and the loss of a personal belief in a life with value. We can be wounded and afflicted without those who can help us immediately. Parents, friends, or someone occupied with caring for and protecting people without refugees appear. It comes away suddenly because they remember who you are. It came from a dream that I had the other day night. I dreamed a Falcon took the little bird from the nest and flew beaten against it on the wall. It fell, and the parents helped him to return to the nest. A time after, it created wings and flies. Later, he found the hawk and bicked his soul. He turned himself into a simple mockingbird with the strong spirit of a hawk that sang his song in the garden. He is different after that experience. To be a hawk without bei

The technology of differentiated reproduction

   It is not a tautology to do the same things as others; it is because we seek some identity, a value, and it to be valued. In Aristotle, we can see that it treats virtue and the relation of correspondence as constructed by social and cultural practices in which a sense of Justice and Self-Mastering correspond with that worth. "We are right then in saying that these virtues are formed in a man by his doing the actions, but no one, if he should leave them undone, would be even in the way to become a good man." In that case, the technology or any other is a qualitative jump for someone to do something more easily. It is the technical operation and knowledge of a technology. I have perceived that Aristotle appears again, in many forms, in structuralism, into dialectics of the knowledge with quotes like: "We are what we do," and what it represents when we think about the development of technique and technology, the influence in the social behavior in a hierarchizatio
