The night passed quickly, dawn arrives and soon is early morning. Thanks to Lord, nothing has happened, for has it was mentioned a person stood alert protecting the others. It was something extremely necessary for the place was infested with wild and venomous animals, due the preserved nature of caatinga’s environment, something very rare in that region. In most of the county places, nature was devastated due the population explosion that impelled the depredation of the natural resources.
Our dear friends, one by one are getting up and organizing themselves. While Messias Escapuleto, Paulo Lacerda and Tadeu Barbosa are fetching firewood from the woods, the great son of God and his saviour of old, Emanuel Melkin wait patiently cleaning up the ground around the tent. The two young men have a quick chat.
—How time flies, Aldivan. Since our meeting in Arcoverde, we are no longer the same. We have discovered in you the legendary master of the light, hope for mankind in these difficult times and who would have said that I, a mere sinner, would have saved from death when you were crossing the corner. How the world is full of surprises! (Emanuel Melkin)
—It was marked to happen in our destiny, my friend. I thank my Father for us to have met each other and our new series. Together we can make history and transform people relationships between themselves and with it help the planet’s evolution. I believe! (Aldivan)
—Yes, me too. What has our loved Son of God done during the time we have been apart?
—I have been taking care of my private life: My job at the public service, my family relationship, my writing work concerning the main series “The seer”. In this path, I have met various people and whenever possible I showed my personality and that of my Father. I could understand that the most of them were needing affection, attention, friends and someone who would listen to them. Many times, they are people not understood by their own relatives and as they cannot open dialogue they prefer not to speak and pretend that everything is well, although that is not true. In me, they find a real friend. A brother that loves them independently of what they were, or what they have not done and who believes in them. For that, in my fifth romance I declared that “I am “. And you? What have done of importance?
—Not much. I have continued to live with my father in the village of Jeritacò living our simple life. We were waiting for the moment when God would reunite us again.
—Oh, good. We are here together with the others and I hope to live up to everyone’s expectations.
—Me too. I want to be a great mate and friend of yours for ever.
— Thank you. I make your words mine.
—Amen!
The other adventurers have just come back from the woods and the conversation is interrupted. With the fire wood they have brought, the fuel, the matches and the utensils taken out of the backpacks the fire is lit and then Aldivan and Emanuel begin to prepare breakfast (scrambled eggs) the coffee which was their mandatory for the day. In a matter of minutes everything is ready and they take care in quenching hunger and desperation. Besides the natural noise of the woods, silence reigns.
Among mischief, chatting, the singing of the birds and a splendid view of the park surrounded by mountains, typical vegetation of caatinga and the abundant fauna they savour the food. There, each one had a special reason to commemorate: The Seer, teaching, to know new people and be reunited with important friends, the guide Paulo Lacerda to meet diverse personalities in his professional pleasure, Tadeu Barbosa, the problematic, hoping for a better future, Messias to experience the role of apprentice, Emanuel to reunite with his protégé. In truth, everything was going well and was producing good expectations, thanks to the emblematic attitudes and advice from the true son of God, hidden from the great media.
Together, the series sons of light team, was a cohesive group and prepared for great journeys. Catimbau, the headquarters of the second saga, was not chosen by chance. It was a sacred place where some time ago the seer had the pleasure to visit and was marked in his mind, heart and memories. Bringing his friends to this place was like bringing them to his own home, welcome them from the bottom of his heart, just as his Father does with everyone. In this, rested his greatness and his grace.
As soon as they finish breakfast, they quickly get together and the guide gives them the new instructions. Going ahead, Paulo leads the others through the narrow and dangerous trails of the escarpment surrounded by abysms on both sides. Almost four hours were spent on the way, until reaching the separation of the trails and following a new direction.
Taking the right, they access rock formations, forests and finally the mountain range. They pitch the tent right there, among the geographic faults, they lit a new fire, cook rice and beans for lunch and when everything is ready, they replenish their energies. Thirty minutes later, they have finished and they are free for the day’s debate.
— My friends, I want to talk to you about an important and serious subject, the way you run your life. What important choices did you have to make up till now? (The seer)
—I have made several. Each pain life has imposed on me, I had get up and continue to live my life. In the meantime, I could not help to accumulate “Wound scars” from those events. My objective in being here is to heal them or at least understand them and suffer less. (Tadeu Barbosa)
— Tadeu, I understand perfectly. I have also made important choices and others I deferred them. Every day, life make us face questions that require immediate decision-making. The important is to reflect hard and make the right choice. It is not always possible and is there that the scars act, inflicting us pain. However, I guarantee you unlimited support in its causes and together we will analyse in this journey what is the best for you and the group in general. Is that right? (The son of God)
—Understood. We await the next happenings. (Tadeu)
— There are choices and sub-choices. The choices give you sufficient margin to deliberate and choose the most palpable way. It was so when I got married and became a guide. The sub-choices tie you up in such a way that leave you with no option. For example, when I was young, the fact that I was dependent on my father and he forbade me from studying, greatly setting back my life. Nowadays, I have got no strength to fight and change this reality. (Paulo Lacerda)
— I agree, Paulo. I only feel sad for your decision of giving up studying. There are insane mistakes and sane mistakes. The fact of not being able to study in the past does not impede your fight in the present. If you want, there is still time. (Aldivan)
—The situation has changed a lot, son of God. Nowadays, I am married man, I have a full-time job and I worry about the small children. I simply don’t have the strength to change my past. (Paulo)
—We always find an excuse when we afraid of breaking taboos and confront our dilemmas. However, I respect your decision. (Seer)
— Thank you. That shows your spirit greatness. (Paulo Lacerda)
—All of us have got great choices to make, from small ones to big ones. What we do with our choices makes all the difference. (Messias Escapuleto)
— It is true. We have got no other option but to choose. With the acquired experience, the right choices are going to supersede the errors. (Aldivan)
—Exactly, master. Take care of the scars caused by the mistakes, that is the challenge. (Messias)
—I am here for that. (The son of God)
—Just as well. Glory to the Father! (Messias)
— Master, I have also made many mistakes in my choices. What is the secret to reach the highest precision? (Emanuel Melkin Escapuleto)
—As I have already said, the experience. Another important reason is to analyse well the situation and make a list of priorities at that moment. They will show the way to follow. (Aldivan)
— Perfect. I will do that. Thank you. (Emanuel)
—Be focused and prioritise, friends. Look at my example: I already have suffered poverty, rejection, unemployment, abandonment, indifference, loveliness, the lack of faith of those that surrounded me. However, all the time I believed in myself and in the Father, who loves me so much. Each phase of your life has got something to be enjoyed, in my childhood I played, in the adolescence and youth I studied and, in my adulthood, I am focused on my work, on the social activities and on the relationships. Everything points to success, for I am determined, then learn from me and fight for your actual objective. (Taught the son of God).
— I will do that. (Tadeu)
—We too. Isn’t it guys? (Messias)
— Yes. (The others)
—Very good. Let’s rest now and plan the next steps. The adventure is not over yet. (The seer)
They obey command of the leader of the group and divide themselves for several activities. Aldivan, Messias and Paulo talk about the next steps of the journey. Emanuel and Tadeu go for a walk and fetch firewood. On their return, they get together again, prepare the fire and rest. Later, they cook, have diner and spend the rest of the evening in the tent because the temperature was very low.
At the end of evening, they will try to sleep amidst a flood of emotions. What else would it lie ahead? Continue to follow, readers.
