The light

Durante mais de 15 anos andei com um papelinho na carteira com uma velha canção de esquimós que segundo sei tem mais de 100 anos. Hoje, graças ao amor da minha vida lembre-me novamente dela:

And I think over again
My small adventures
When from a shore wind I drifted out
In my kayak
And I thought I was in danger.

My fears,
Those small ones
That I thought so big,
For all the vital things
I had to get and to reach.

And yet, there is only
One great thing,
The only thing.
To live and see in huts and on journeys
The great day that dawns,
And the light that fills the world.

–Song from the Kitlinuharmiut (Copper Eskimo), The Report of the Fifth Thule Expedition 1921-1924
