Capítulo 0003

Social isolation put me thinking the meaning of time. The first celebration, and bring me joy, was to stop all the clocks in my home. And the personal was kept in my desk, hidden from all.

It was very funny to lost the notion of hour or day. The strategy was to get a routine without time. Time, one of the most enemies of modern times, suddenly gone.

The first sensation was strange, in fact. The speed of our lives gone. The reports, the works, the plans became without sense. The limit, the date, the stress to conclude even the doubts let us free.

So, what to do? A party or celebration? Why not? But we can be near each other. It's Ok. We do the party with internet platform. Chose one, and keep together sing and dance. I put the music.

Indeed, the experience was amazing, but the 21st was very could. No ideas, the music the same, the jokes, many friends disappear because loose the interest.

The second measure. Shut down, or turn off, the TV, mainly the news. No news, good news! This is the Headline.

So, the group join together again, through «Teams» platform, and decide to make a writing contest. Everyone read a book and in next week explain and conclude opinions about the text.

And it was. The expectation was very high, at the beginning, and the first members were interesting but after, the final one was tiring, because passed more than two hours and so many information and point of views, in fact, don't bring joy to the team.

A brainstorm was needed. And the final decision was everybody read the same book, and promote a discussion about the theme.

And next week, again, the group stay together trough «Teams».

Completely different. More virtual attraction. Distinct opinions and new ideas. «Trough discussion born the light». And the group decided to wright a book. Each one makes a Chapter. The theme was the WWII. And the characters were chosen by one writer, or writer candidate.

The session was amazing. Almost 30th chapters, 30 characters a Encyclopedia about the «D» day in Normand when the allies disembarked and started the end of the war.

It was necessary to made some adjustments in the text, but, without time, the adjustments were made like a «just in time» production. The puzzle finally wins an ultimate form.

After the social isolation period, the group made a reunion, in a park, with masks and keeping the social distance recommended by the health authorities.

It was very funny, because everybody understood the time is, in fact, relative, not police of our lives or strangle our decisions.

These two weeks became an experience of resistance and adaptation of humans to live with walls. But even the humans without technology can do the same. The writing is always our best friend, and help us to survive and take us where we want, indeed.
