...e da sabedoria com que ele se comportou em toda a sua vida, lembrei-me - no dia do seu funeral, depois de escrever o meu último post antes deste - dum texto que abaixo reproduzirei e que sempre procurei também que me norteasse.
Aqui vai, então…
These are the things I learned:
- Share everything.
- Play fair.
- Don't hit people.
- Put things back where you found them.
- Clean up your own mess.
- Don't take things that aren't yours.
- Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
- Wash your hands before you eat.
- Flush.
- Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
- Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
- Take a nap every afternoon.
- When you go out in the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands and stick together.
- Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the Styrofoam cup: the roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.
- Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the Styrofoam cup - they all die. So do we.
- And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first word you learned - the biggest word of all - LOOK.
Everything you need to know is in there somewhere. The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation. Ecology and politics and equality and sane living.

Obrigado pelas tuas gentis palavras, Tina.
Tu também deverias escrever mais nos teus blogs. Eu comecei há muito a seguir aquele em que terias um post mais recente, o "Poemas de Amor e Paixão". Nós dois temos de interagir mais, quer nos nossos blogs, quer no feicebuque. Quiçá podemos ter muito a trocar um com o outro. ;-)
Beijim!
