Oferenda
Fui a Mora este fim de semana. Amei, como sempre.
O
infinito da planície alentejana, o Pôr do sol, belo, quente, cheio de
vida, o silêncio, o tempo que passa devagar. Tudo isso me encheu a alma.
Uma vez mais.
O
encantamento maior foram as romãs do meu pomar. Colhi, dei aos amigos,
trouxe na bagagem para Bruxelas. E não resisti a fazer uma foto para
vocês. De partilhar convosco a beleza deste fruto.
De cor se faz o Alentejo. Não é só oliveiras, sobreiros e azinheiras. É o mundo todo cá dentro.
A
romã é o fruto do amor, é citada por William Shakespeare em “Romeu e
Julieta“, é considerada como símbolo da prosperidade e riqueza.
É uma fruta exótica e milenar. Existem registros de restos da fruta em túmulos egípcios com mais de quatro milênios. É usada desde a antiguidade por diversas culturas. A romã possui uma importância histórica grande, uma vez que faz parte do contexto cultural de muitos povos. Para os gregos, este fruto era consagrado à Deusa do amor e da beleza, Afrodite.

Sorverei os gomos entre as tuas ternas, ternas manhãs de amor."

EN - I went to Mora this weekend. I loved it, as always.
The infinity of the plain, the sunset, beautiful, warm, full of life, the silence, the time running slowly. All this filled my soul. Once again.
The greatest enchantment was the pomegranates of my fruit garden. I picked them, I distributed to my friends, I brought some in the luggage to Brussels. And I did not resist taking a photo for you. To share with you the beauty of this fruit.

"Once when I was living in the heart of a pomegranate, I heard a seed
saying, “Someday I shall become a tree, and the wind will sing in
my branches, and the sun will dance on my leaves, and I shall be
strong and beautiful through all the seasons.”
