O HOMEM ATRÁS DA PORTA                      (34)

 

          A escritora Taylor Caldkell, em seu livro “O CONFESSOR” conta uma história verdadeira que se passa em todos os dias e em todas as épocas. Diz ela: “A necessidade mais premente, - (que todos têm) - é de alguém para ouvi-lo, não como um “paciente” e sim como uma alma humana”.

       --- Quando, Onde, Aonde e Quando? Perguntamos. É preciso que haja tempo para que nossa fala seja processada e estejamos dispostos a ouvir a quem falamos.        Certo senhor precavido e figura importante da história, nos parece que estava preocupado com o desequilíbrio da comunicação humana, entre ouvir e ser ouvido, falar e escutar, particularmente entre os mais apressados e os desfavorecidos. Ao completar seus 80 anos de idade, esse senhor recebeu em sua casa a visita de alguns arquitetos que lhe levaram um projeto para futura construção de algo por ele desejado. Depois de alguns instantes, os arquitetos saíram dali sorridentes. Os vizinhos e curiosos queriam saber do que se tratava e o que iria acontecer ali. Aquele senhor vendera sua casa velha que ali possuía e logo mandou construir algo novo. Não se tardar, materiais de primeira linha foram chegando, e a curiosidade de todos aumentando. Muitos dirigiam ao dono da construção querendo saber do se tratava. Ele simplesmente dava um sorriso e lhes dizia: aguardem um pouco.

     A obra tomou corpo e avançou e com ela a curiosidade de todos. Será uma biblioteca pública, um museu ou escola de música, ou uma Igreja?! O dono da obra não dava nenhuma resposta. Pela primeira vez ele estava sendo misterioso.

      Logo todos ficaram sabendo que se tratava de bela e grande construção de dois cômodos, um amplo com porta de entrada pela frente e outro, menor, com saída pelos fundos. Todos de fino acabamento e bem aparelhados. O anúncio da inauguração foi feito marcado e os repórteres acorreram ao local, cada um querendo ser o primeiro a entrar.

      Várias pessoas de semblantes amenos iam chegando e entrando, mediante o apertar tranquilo de uma sineta. Os repórteres, porém, apressados, queriam entrar. Mas a mensagem era: aguardem um pouquinho. Enquanto isto as pessoas que já haviam entrado saindo pela porta dos fundos, aliviadas e outras, chorando, sem nada contarem aos ansiosos repórteres. Enquanto isto o dono do prédio, “sorrindo, tocou uma sineta perto da porta de entrada na extremidade da sala, apontou para uma fenda perto da porta e disse: “É por aqui que os pedidos serão feitos”. --  

      Uma senhora bem apressada apareceu, querendo ser atendida de logo. Ela teria de esperar. No entanto, ansiosa, entrou e se sentou. Tirou de sua bolsa

nota e a jogou na porta. A porta não se abriu. Atrás desta estava, porém, um senhor bem atento ao que estava acontecendo. Quem era esse Senhor? Era alguém que se dispõe a ouvir a todos quantos necessitam e para isto estejam dispostos a contá-las. O Ouvidor as conhece, mas elas precisam ser contadas com profundidade de alma e calma.  As respostas e bênçãos, porém, serão processadas e respondias no tempo certo. 

       Perto de nós sempre há Quem, de fato, pode nos ouvir e responder.
