The third lesson comes from the forest. When it rains then for days you can not even think to move there inside. And once again reminds us that who dictate time and manner is the nature and not our very Western way to schedule certain dates.
The fourth lesson, the most beautiful, came from the people of the colonies. We went to ask for permission to pass through their lands to go to the forest. They kindly asked to come back after 5 pm. And when we arrived, with the sound of a horn they called to assembly the community. Placed at the center of the community hall asked us to explain what we wanted and, with the help of the books (as always donated to the village school when we go to new colonies) of a talking that comes out in an incredible way in those moments and the twenty-year capacity to hold correct relationships with the people, they have voted to give us permission. And even to accommodate us in the school for one night.
Those who have never participated in a "junta Eidal" can not even imagine those moments full of silences, tension, uncertainty that then dissolve in warm hugs and a thousand spontaneous reports of new caves when you are known.
If it was so directed also our democracy in the little things of every day it would be very good.
