Reflection with a bananas bag
the day before yesterday something interesting, it was Sunday, I was studying for the discipline that I will start giving this week. My study was surrendering, added to anxiety about the beginning of classes that made me dipped in the books at that time. I really like to teach, but it is also an activity that I charge myself a lot, because I want to deliver a good job. That day, I was sitting studying at the kitchen table, beside me, I had a banana bag that I had bought at the fair for my grandmother. My husband had loved the bananas I bought at the fair the week before and found them very sweet, so this weekend I had bought a bunch for my grandmother because I wanted to share this experience with her. But the weekend was run and I had not been able to visit her before. Now I was, one Sunday night, studying with the Bananas bag beside me. I looked at them , I thought “ I'm yielding in studies, if I follow here, I will be able to read a few more chapters today ” and my first impulse was to follow there studying and giving up the visit. This decision generated a brief relief, but then I felt a restlessness. If I didn't see my grandmother that day, maybe I would have to wait another week to see her, because with this week's super race routine, it would make it difficult to pass there. Did it worth it to stop having this moment with my grandmother to read a few more pages?...
