Cando nos achegamos ao final do ano, desliceime o abaixo sobre o calendario que teño: fáltanlle poucos días antes de ser retirado. Sen unha semana, voume a remitir dun colgante a outro de reciclaxe directa, porque as semanas e os meses, sen piedade, mánchano, o platean, engúrrano, fúrgano, o platean, até o punto de que xa só imaxina ser un ano vivo e unha peca. Fíxoo el mesmo.
En Anarte, hei frondado o calendario pola penúltima vez, e dediqueime á nostalxia que nos é habitual e propia nestes tempos entre Nadal e Urtats. Algúns escritos de tintas azuladas e convertidos xa en ilexibles son perducidos por días, semanas, meses. En poucas palabras resúmese, á fronte de todo, o ano: un acontecemento ilusionante, unha cita médica, unha quenda de talos, prazos de entrega de opinión de ARGIA, pagos de impostos e seguros.
Cheguei á punta do ano e vin aí as predicións dos días de zotal hai doce meses.
Lembrei algúns recordos: un ttanttísimo que vivía connosco, falaba dos famosos días do zotal nesta época do ano. Nos primeiros días do ano (as primeiras doce, con présas), observaba escrupulosamente a época. Non de todo. Pero case. Polo menos dous ou tres veces ao día, nun anaco de papel que marcaba con detalle a época que fixo naquel momento. Despois, colleu ese anaco de papel engurrado e nun calendario, ao cabo de cada mes, no medio e ao final, escribiu con moita gravidade e poucas palabras a época que cre que ía facer. Porque era crer que a época que facía neses primeiros días do ano era a que tiña que facer nos doce meses do ano, ou polo menos unha aproximación. Por exemplo, a época do 5 de xaneiro representaría o que tería que facer en maio.
Recoñezo desde o ahapi que, con nostalxia e sinceridade, escribirei un ano máis a época dos días do zotal, tentando dominar o que non me vén
Para que? Unha sociedade baseada no cultivo para predicir que podía traer o ano, para librarse das increencias e as adversidades; sen dúbida, coa esperanza de dominar os medos, o tempo e a natureza. Seguramente todas estas crenzas apuntan á esperanza de que o ano pasado é mellor.
Con todo, pasabamos todo o ano, enlazando o calendario no muro da cociña, lendo as anotacións que se estableceron mes a mes, a ver si facíanse as predicións. E hai que recoñecer que en oito de cada dez tiñamos que darlle a razón.
Aínda hai quen segue o costume deses días, aínda que hoxe en día os servizos meteorolóxicos son máis desenvolvidos que nunca, os que imos escribir a atmosfera, moi gravemente, para manternos nun pedazo de papel tradicional engurrado e nun recuncho da cociña, quizais non dando máis voltas.
Talvez son supersticiones, e quen cree pode atopar e demostrar o seu. Talvez sexa posible a súa observación. Dá igual. Eu recoñézolle da palma, con nostalxia e sinceridade, que este ano tamén escribirei a época dos días do zotal, tentando dominar o que non me vén. O ano pasado levareino ao colector amarelo. Porque lembro os que teño e prefiro os demais non lémbroos. Como podemos cualificar de dominación a do ano pasado, vaiamos á que vén. Desexando que o ano anterior sexa (aínda) mellor que o ano anterior, e en todo caso, O mellor, que non nos esquezamos, porque aínda vai pasar.

They're one of the most beautiful memories I have in my heart. At the time I was doing Basque Philology and we went to a society in Arbizu to a concert by Ruper Ordorika. There were Rikardo Arrangi Diaz of Heredia and Juanjo Olasgrip. I didn't dare to tell Arrangi that I had in my... [+]

I remember when I was 16 years old, the Ertzaintza first identified me in a concentration in favor of the Basque Country before the Bergara courts. We believed that in Euskal Herria it was legitimate to cry for the Euskaldunization of the courts, but then there would also be a... [+]
