“I have one stuck in my house, I can lend it to you; if you like it, you can buy one. I promise I’ll take it easy in the beginning.”

Lara smiled across her kindness, thinking of delighting the sun and the wind through the farm roads, the beautiful landscapes they could enjoy together and the sunsets that could ornate her Instagram account from then on.

“If it’s so, I’m up for it!”

CHAPTER 21

In the next days at Tibiriçá Ecovillage, Arthur kept on helping in the enlargement of the community installations. He gained Placido’s confidence, which was not exactly difficult, because the red-haired man believed in goodness as an inherent characteristic of the human being. If Placido was the one who coordinated the activities so that the ecovillage managed to maintain a great strength, generating sustainable food and closer and closer to the dream of becoming self-sustainable; it was Giacomo who took charge of the bureaucracy, including the legal, administrative and accountable parts. Arthur noticed that while the first was an idealistic man, the latter was a pragmatic individual. And for a practical administrator nothing could be more attractive than cheap workmanship.

On Friday, Placido finished the service on the work earlier, about three o’clock in the afternoon. He informed that at night there would be a meeting with dwellers of the community; so, he would need to prepare everything for eight o’clock. Mathias did not complain, he would take a ride to the city, he wanted to see his family, spend the Saturday in the bar and play soccer on Sunday.

Arthur ate something, took a shower and, when he returned to the collective lodging, Mathias had already left; he lay down for some time to take a rest in the bed that had been intended to him in the lodging, and thought about the last days. Life in the ecovillage was becoming rougher than he imagined, but there was a sensation there he had never felt, a sensation that can only be appreciated by those who can build something with their own hands. As the bricks were placed between the mortar forming the wall, a sensation of accomplishment and belonging filled up his chest.

From what Placido had told him, he would not be working as a bricklayer’s mate for too long, because, when they finished that installation, they would return to their normal activities, which consisted of looking after the vegetable garden and the orchard, in addition to coordinating all the activities that were important so that the community could remain productive.

Clara, the third occupier of the lodging, came in and greeted him. The young woman was developing her master’s degree’s project about the community and the assembly had authorized her to remain in the lodging developing her college activities.

“Mathias’ already gone. How about you? Are you spending the weekend here?” Arthur asked.

She was sitting at the little table where she used her portable computer; she opened it and typed her login and password:

“Yes, this weekend I will remain. Tomorrow we’re going to have a visitor here.
