ícone I shall return
 

From Cora Coralina, great poetess from the Brazilian State of Goias, we extract the following piece of literature:

I shall return.

My partner in life shall be a courageous man of work, dedicated to others, honest and simple, with clean thoughts.

We shall be bakers and we shall have bakeries. Many children around us.

We shall celebrate each child´s birth planting a symbolic tree.

Paulo's tree, Manoel's tree, Ruth's tree, and Roseta's tree.

We shall be happy and we shall be always singing.

Our bakeries shall have wheat bundles decorating their doors, we shall have a farm and a forest garden.

We shall plant mahogany, rosewood, ironwood, redwood, Brazilian pepper tree, and cedar.

I shall plant trees for the future generations.

My children shall plant wheat and corn, and they shall be bakers.

They shall have mills, sawmills, and bakeries.

I shall leave in this world a vast offspring of men and women profoundly bonded to work and to the land which I shall teach them to love.

And I shall peacefully die in a wheat or a corn field, listening to the far away singing of the harvesters.

I shall return...

My tombstone shall be decorated with corn ears and broken cereal.

My posthumous offer to the ants which have their little houses under the ground and to the singing birds which have their nests in the high and flowery fronds.

I shall return.

                                       *   *   *

We all shall certainly return to this earth or to any other planet in this infinite Universe...

Reincarnation is a Divine Law, and we are all submitted to it, whether we want it or not, whether we are aware of it or not.

The Creator gives us the chance to continue in our next existence what we have not been able to accomplish in this one.

The Creator always opens the doors for regretting, for the opportunity to repair mistakes to those who wish to return to the safe arms of love.

If ever, in this present existence, your greatest dreams seem to be taken away from your heart, trust in God.

If you see your plans to achieve happiness going away, boarded on caravels of illness, of profound suffering, keep on trusting in God.

If you notice that you will not achieve, in this life, the happiness you had planned deep in your heart, for you and for your beloved ones, be calm and trust in God.

Look at your present life just as a brief chapter in the great masterpiece of your existence as an immortal Spirit.

Keep your dreams and resist the pain, without resentment, without revolt, understanding that it is the rough arms of suffering that make us stronger and well prepared to deserve and to conquer a greater achievement.

Be certain that the sun shall return, the smile shall flourish again, and that you also, the universal time traveler, shall return!
