Life is in the details
“Life is a detail. / Life is in the details. There is nothing big that is made of big things. Everything that is big is the result of the communion of various small things. / Small and beautiful, small and ugly, small and sweet, happiness made. Studying is hard, because the professor never has sufficient time to dedicate to us, or the care our mother gives us. / But it’s necessary: / working to sustain the family only gives pleasure because you see the face of the family shining with happiness when the house is warm and cosy. / Life is made up of details. / Everything that is big comes from the small, a smile, a signal, a phrase, a look… / Even the baobob can flesh out the body of Maria, the mother of the church. / Life is in the details, believe it.”
September 2001, Fernando Manuel

INDIAN OCEAN is a WOMEN
“The Indian Ocean is a woman. / Capricious, gentle, deep, mysterious and violent. / More than enough reason for a man to feel betrayed: / chop down a tree, take the trunk, make it into a boat, and get down to the task. / Woman is the Indian Ocean. Sitting on the veranda, a kid on her lap, a mirror in front of her eyes: ‘What do you think, am I beautiful?’ / The gentle sea, full moon, the man stays on the fringe, behind him the white sand, the sea licking his feet, it’s midnight and the woman is beside him, happy and well. / The Indian Ocean is a woman challenging man’s imagination, and the man responds to the challenge. / That’s it? / That’s nothing! / Because behind all of this there is a woman. The ocean exists: / because the face and the body of woman are an ocean. / Unfathomable, profound, mysterious, beautiful. / That’s the way oceans are. / That’s the way women are.”
