Descobri que existem dois caminhos; dois trilhos paralelos, que, apesar de distantes, se acompanham.
Um deles atravessa a conturbada cidade. Embrenha-se no barulho, esbarra contra tudo o que se quer manter ao de longe. Passa bem lá no centro da angústia e é longo, trabalhoso e desesperante.
O outro é mais estreito e não tem tantas ramificações (dificultando portanto o acesso), permite passar ao lado do sofrimento. É o que se pode chamar de atalho.
Se for atravessado com cautela e concentração, é decerto o caminho menos penoso, o caminho da despreocupação. Mas também tem as suas desvantagens: como qualquer atalho, não aparece descrito nos mapas, é um sítio que tem que ser descoberto sem ajuda adjacente e, como tal, é mais fácil perdermo-nos.
O importante é ter noção de que os atalhos podem não estar exactamente onde são necessários, e portanto o melhor é conhecer o primeiro caminho, o mais longo; o melhor é tê-lo atravessado pelo menos uma vez. Só para o caso de algo correr mal.
I realized that there are two ways; two parallel paths that even though distant, are placed not very far from each other and lead to the same place.
One of them goes through the troubled city. It ventures into the noise, stumbles across everything you'd wish to keep far away. It is placed right on the heart of the anguish; and it's long, painful and desperate.
The second one is narrow and more precise (which means there is only one alternative if you decide to take it), allows you to walk past the suffering. It is what you could call a short cut.
If it's crossed with caution, and you focus, it's most likely the less bitter path, the path of joy. But it has some disadvantages as well: like any short cut, it's not in the map, it's a place that you'd have to discover by yourself, and so it makes it easier to get lost.
The important is being aware that short cuts sometimes aren't exactly where we need them, and so the best is to know the first path, the longest; the best is to have pierced it at least once. Just in case something goes wrong and you can't manage to find your short cut.
