Oi gente! Deixo para você mais um texto da Eeva. Bem bacana, como sempre!

HERE AND THERE

I had to belive the ice age had come. It's april, for god's sake and we have still thick snow banks and only during the afternoons warmest moments a few drops of water barely reach the snow.

My tree was awake. But it was so silent and I knew why. The nature had had again one of its violent tranformations and it hurts, as unbelievable it sounds. But the nature suffers too and humans too often forget they are part of the nature. My tree hears and feels all the feelings of the earth.

I just smoothed out it's old bark and looked to the south. Somehow I got the feeling we will have our spring and running waters in a sudden outburst..

Where are you, my little ice berg? What are you doing? Are you pushing thru the stormy and salty water and growing fast? What secrets lies under the surface , there were the sunlight doesnt reach?

"Well, dont ask, just go there and look yourself! "The tree said in my head and I smiled. Thank god it hasnt changed a bit.

I took my time again, just to look at him. He was a bit frozen but thats allright. It's difficult to come from ice to gravel. You know what happens if you slide on the ice and suddenly hit the sand?
I had something in my hands .
-Hi, Kimi. I swinged my legs on the branches of the old tree. I like old trees.
- Well, hello there. Where have you been? Kimi smiled to me and Kaj winked his eye.
- On the north pole.
- You havent given me a map this time. Kimi raised his eyebrow.
-Do you want one? I have here a map of north pole.I raised mine.
-Err..no. I guess no more dum questions..you have something, dont you?
-well, of course ..I have a book.
Kimi took the book and opened it very carefully.
-It's empty?!
- Hear me now..I touched his shoulder.
- Every human is an unopened book .Every book starts with a one word. You can have many books during your life . If you look behind you, you see a huge book already..it's a book of your era in tracks.
You can see, it's a closed book .
- Because it's a closed chapter..Kimi asked silently.
-And now look at your book. Look at the first page.
Kimi looked again. In the middle of the page there was a word written with old letters: Ice one.
It vanished again..and came back again,and vanished again.
-What is this?
-Only you know that..and I think you know.
- Is the chapter of track book closed? do you mean that?
Can I open that book again?
- Of course you can. Only you know, is all this , I showed the rally place,enough to you? Do you miss fighting wheel to wheel ? Or is there something else? You have a habbit to keep your fans in constant rollercoaster. Or do you need it yourself, do you need the action all the time as the rally season flows much more peacefully.
Keep this book with you. Maybe we will see something in its pages, maybe we don't.
- Yeah..thank you. It will be with me all the time.
-It will. Once you opened it, it will never vanish.
-Where I keep it? I can't have it in the car.
-It's everywhere. It appears only if you need it.
-should have known..Kimi laughed and the book disappeared.
-Its time to go now..my tree is having a tough time. You..take care.
- Until we meet again. Here and there. Kimi smiled.
I went back to my tree, still under snow, still silent .
- How's the little Iceberg? Tree asked in my head.
-Reading a book without words.
-oh..nice.
-what on earth is he doing? I mean the nascar thing?
-Do you know which way the ice bergs come to Atlantic?
-Oh..bugger. Of course. Thru the North-America.
