Movement
is one of our driving forces, the reason why we have a formal way of
being here
whether to fulfill inherent dreams or to anticipate by an on-going
execution of
a plan the provision of food to our families. Yes, food mostly. But the
day
Professional Drivers stopped moving with their Giant Machines, the
unexpected happened
and we stopped, too. We were part of the extensive road filled with a
line of
people who supported the lack of movement of these experienced drivers
and the
irregular idea of stopping to move. Five uncommon moments after, I was
quiet in my not so comfortable situation, watching prices getting higher
and
pondering: “Tomatoes! I need tomatoes!” And they were suddenly as
expensive as
imported butter.
The
following happening involved birds that did not fly. As there were no moves to
keep our fragile systems operating as always, millions of chickens starved to
death. This is what we come across with when we do not feed our systematically
organized society and one quarter of its parts. And this is what happens when
causers meet consequences.
What I did after was wait, and wait, and wait… like a bird whose freedom had been limited by boundaries unseen. Like a person born to love in the cold land of mistrust. Why, I reckon I did something very ordinary, too. I had my nails done, as armed people in low tones of voice were asked to keep unarmed people safe from LACK OF MOVEMENT.

Now
a new kind of movement has emerged not from a magic-oriented kind of
technology, but from a remaining hope in military forces as if War had been
called upon to save us all. Endowed with imagination, one could think of the city
of Mariana, which was rebuilt with houses made of the mud that once consumed
it. Endowed with freedom, one could say what the future would be like or be
deceived by a sparse reach of hope. What we believe ultimately underpins the
future.
