Chapter 1

––––––––

It was September 2013.  I had just taken office in a public office in the federal executive and was looking forward to new friendships.  Effective employment gave me a certain stability and hope of resuming my artistic activities.  It had been three years since I stopped writing.  This period of hibernation was extremely necessary for me to climb the professional ladder.

In those three years that I was away from art, I had become a competent professional, but still not very happy.  I felt the tree of power calling me to a great mission.  Underneath the tree of life, I felt an immense power leading me to the true destiny even though I didn't know what God's purposes were like.  In fact, neither I nor anyone else knows exactly what God has in store for our lives.

I was partially fulfilled.  In my imaginative mind, I saw myself traveling the world, performing adventures, feeling sensations of pleasure and happiness.  In my private world, I was an absolute success and this greatly comforted me in the cruel reality I faced.  I explain.  In the family sphere, I lived a conflicting situation for not being able to assume my true identity.  I was required to play a role so that my family members would be happy.  On the other hand, it destroyed my psychological.  In the professional and social sphere, I always hoped for the best.  But the reality is that I faced great relationship difficulties wherever I went.  This caused waves of negative energy that distanced me from everyone.  I couldn't explain exactly what happened.  I only knew that my attempts to insert myself in this professional environment only brought me disastrous consequences that robbed me of my nights of sleep.

It made me believe that the world was a very complicated place to live.  But that was a personal point of view.  There are many different experiences from mine.  There are people who find true love, who found true friendship, are financially successful, have an understanding family, in short, there are situations that are much better than mine.  Life has to be analyzed in a broader way.  That's what makes me believe that life is always beautiful, that our trajectory is a meeting of important moments for our own growth and that each one finds their own happiness.  It is necessary to be happy with what little we have.  It is necessary to be happy in the profession, any job is worthy.  It is necessary to be happy with oneself, to love God above all things, to love ourselves as well as our neighbor.  But above all, having self-love gives you the strength to face moments of solitude and be sure of God's love, who is the only one who does not abandon us.

My routine consisted of work, math studies, literary work, socializing with family and trying to find nice people on the internet.  It was something that smothered me inside, but it was what kept my hopes up.  My search for love inspired me to have faith in myself and a better life.  Even with a thousand love rejections, I didn't feel destroyed.  I felt strong enough to continue my journey on earth.  I didn't feel like a poor thing, I saw myself as a strong and determined man.  I would never give up on my dreams, even if the whole world was against it.  I needed to have that space in the world, because the universe provided me with the gifts.  It was something written in the stars and no force could stop it.  I just didn't know when this would happen.

I was ready to leave.  I had arranged to meet a guy at the happy corner bar where we would get to know each other better.  We had been talking on the internet for a while and he was always kind and interested.  I enjoyed these encounters, but I only felt secure when I had enough data about the other person.  Nowadays it is no longer safe to trust everyone.  In fact, our trust must be given only to God.

Leaving home, passing through the streets of my village, I felt happy and satisfied.  That strange feeling of anxiety and nervousness took over my being.  It was something absolutely normal and that I needed to reconcile in the depths of my being.  Life is made of risky situations and locking yourself indoors is not a wise attitude.  We always need to experience high emotions.

I arrive at the bus station.  I shake my long hair, look in the mirror on my cell phone, and see a handsome, confident, determined young man.  I was totally surrendered to the energies of the universe, I felt the chakras exploding with their power completely filling my body, I felt the mother goddess energy sending me positive thoughts, I felt the trinity in complete union, I felt the forces of white magic.  Pushing forward, I felt the strength of the guardian's prayer and the companionship of Renato, finally, I had all the strength leading me to victory.  Nothing would be lacking.

The bus stops and I go upstairs.  There was no place to sit so I stand up.  This was my routine.  I didn't have any perks.  I was born into a poor family and from an early age I had to fight for my goals.  Who helped me along this path was my mother?  She was the one who supported me financially when I couldn't work.  So, when I got a job, I gave it back gratefully and financially.  I remodeled her house, helped with the household expenses, paid for her cataract surgery.  Anyway, I was a good son.  She left for another world and I stayed on earth taking care of her children.  Family is something we should value, as they are those who are with us at all times.

Someone gets off the bus and I finally manage to sit down.  Beside me is a smiling woman, a teacher in the school network in the municipality of Arcoverde.

Natalia

We're going into another day's work, aren't we, Divine?  How it feels?

Divine

I feel empowered and with new hope.  I love my job in public service.  I feel grateful to help people.

Natalia

Good, young man!  In my case, I feel tired.  I've been teaching as a teacher for twenty years now, and I always run into problems.  I'm glad I'm a teacher by vocation.  Otherwise, I would have already given up.

Divine

We need to better value our teachers.  They have to have a good salary, adequate working conditions and greater public investment.  No country develops without education.

Natalia

This is never going to happen.  We are the country of bribery and corruption.  Our political system is a disgrace.  In general, the people choose their representatives wrongly.

Divine

This is the people's own fault.  We are a democratic country.  If the majority gets it wrong, everyone pays.  I'm just sorry.

Natalia

But choices can be remade.  Who has never been wrong, cast the first stone?  Hope is needed in this chaos.

Divine

Well, let's leave that subject to one side.  As I said, I love my job.  I helped thousands of people in their dreams by recognizing their labor rights.  Many admire me
