Holliday Walls

The Hospital walls have heard more honest prayers than the churches. They’ve seen more sincere farewells and kisses than airports.

It’s in the hospital that you see a homophobic patient being saved by a gay doctor. The doctor Patricinha (very rich), saved the life of a beggar.

In the Hospital Health Unit, you see a jewish doctor, caring for an islamic racist; a policeman and a prisoner in the same ward, receiving the same care. The rich patient, in the line of liver transplants, ready to receive an organ from a poor donor.

The Absolute Truth of the people only appears, most of the times, in the moment of the pain, of the real threat, or of the definitive loss.

This life is going fast: Do not fight with people; Do not complain so much about your body; Do not complain so much; Do not lose sleep due to your accounts; Do not stop kissing, who you love.

Do not worry so much about leaving the house or office spotless.

Goods and other assets must be earned honestly by each one, but do not stubbornly commit to accumulate inheritance, keep the dogs and other pets closer; Do not persist in keeping the trophies conquered; Use the new cutlery; Do not save your favourite perfume; use it to walk, even if it is without company. Wear your shoes and your favourite clothes. And? (why not’) Why not be now? Why not call those you love now? Why not forgive now; Why not do what you should do, NOW?

A lot expected for Christmas, for the Weekend, for the End of the Year, for when you have Money, for when Love arrives, for when everything is Perfect.

There is no “Perfect All”. The Human Being can’t reach this state because, simply, it was not meant be completed here.

HERE, it’s just an Apprenticeship opportunity.

Live! Learn! Have fun and, … LOVE!
