There are moments when the classroom opens up like a clearing. A place where time, for an instant, breathes differently. It was in this interval, between the rigor of science and the vibrancy of life, that the <\/span>Selvagem Droplet<\/span><\/a> entered, traversing \u2013 like the Sun \u2013 the course \u201cTopics in Science Education,\u201d a mandatory course for the Bachelor\u2019s Degree in Biological Sciences at the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ), taught by Prof. Dr. Lana Claudia de Souza Fonseca.<\/span><\/p>\n I am involved in this course during a time when the Ways of Learning Group is preparing for a change of cycles.<\/span><\/p>\n Asking permission to end a cycle is also asking permission to continue.<\/span><\/p>\n Time, as N\u00eago Bispo teaches us, does not run out: it returns. It spirals. It turns the end into a middle, and the middle into a new beginning. It is in this circular movement that I now place my feet, while observing that the <\/span>Ways of Knowing<\/b>of the Selvagem Association do not come to an end, but rather <\/span>broaden<\/b>, spreading like a river in flood, opening new paths for the waters yet to come.<\/span><\/p>\n In recent years, I have closely followed the living diary of so many crossings: schools, territories, backyards, quilombos, villages, universities, childhoods. And in this flow something in me has also changed places. <\/span>2026 will not find me in the classroom every day.<\/b> My teacher-body begins to converge with other rivers, to follow other banks where Selvagem continues to call.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t
