Sabat do Saber (Sabat of Knowledge)

Inspired by the short story "A Rosa de Paracelso" (The Rose of Paracelsus), by Jorge Luis Borges, the work represents a moment of celebration of the value of knowledge and learning along the way. A communion of gratitude for each step taken, and each slip; achievements and failures. In the opposite extreme to the alienated cult of the law of least effort, devoid of dignity, the scene is based on a stimulus of encouragement to ethical character, meritocracy, and recognition of love for life and nature. As the master responds to his would-be disciple, when asked about the goal of the earthly journey, "The path is the Stone... Each step you take is the goal."
