Thursday, Tammuz 12, 5774 - July 10, 2014.

Shalom! World.

"You, sky and as for you, Old Town Square, you never have been real." Franz Kafka.

Confesso, que não esperava tal desfecho, e por alguns segundos não fui capaz de expressar, um sim ou mesmo um não, entretanto abracei o sentimento de solidariedade e soltei não muito seguro: sim!
Miriam ainda conservava "aquelas" curvas que mesmo como garoto já havia sido despertado aos desejos do yetzer hara, e assim utilizei de um truque de infância ao fingir amarrar o sapato e deixa-la seguir alguns passos a frente, foquei em seus quadris, num balanço simétrico capaz de fazer-me perder o equilíbrio, tais segundos proporcionaram-me a oportunidade que esperava e imediatamente adentrei a um pequeno Café para comprar o vinho, sob veementes protestos.  

O clima frio e o impacto do reencontro contribuíram para que o silêncio fosse a nossa companhia mais falante. Para minha surpresa cruzamos a avenida Narodne, a poucos passos do Slavia e chegamos na rua Opatovicka num prédio escuro, no qual Miriam havia encontrado um pequenino espaço no sótão, para viver. O espaço era tão pequeno que seria capaz de tocar simultaneamente nas suas extremidades se eu abrisse meus braços. Seria compreensível ouvir aquelas escusas sobre a simplicidade do espaço, reação de quem se sentiria constrangida, com a extrema simplicidade do espaço, porém Miriam surpreendeu-me, pois ainda conservava raízes da sua qualificada origem e se movimentava como se estivesse no Prazsky hrad (Castelo de Praha). Contudo a surpresa foi a presença de um berço entre a cama e uma mesinha que sentamos em volta. O clima de tantas questões a serem formuladas era tão perceptível que seria possível cortá-lo e servi-lo com o vinho, como um gorgonzolla. Miriam serve o vinho em dois copinhos infantis e com um tom solene diz que revelaria a sua história e isto provocou-me um grande alívio. 

Fim do Capítulo IV

Shalom! Aleichem.

Sunday, Kislev 15, 5778. December 3, 2017. Shalom! World. Green Caffè Nero, Nowy Swiat, 53. Warszawa/Poland. The blend ot Green Caffé Nero has remained the same unique since the year that the founder and owner, Gerry Ford, spent months working and crafting with John Ritzy, a master coffee roaster, and his Probat in a smal room beneath London Bridge. He knew exactly what he was looking for to start Green Caffé Nero: that rich, persistent roast that spoke of his time living in Italy and that has now became so familiar to us all. It was 1997, 20-years ago. The beans required to achieve this distictive flavour, however, aren't easy to find. G.C.N. source handpicked beans from higher altitudes and rich soils across a variety of origins to get the kind the quality that will complement the meticulous methods, providing the richness and flavour that G.C.N. simply won't compromisse on. After all these years, G.C.N. come to think of it as an art. There's no rushin...
