Aquele Trecho

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.

Se o meu plano der certo E eu parar de fazer planos Mais tempo me sobrará Pra ser feliz sem data certa.

Don't you understand that we need to be childish in order to understand? Only a child sees things with perfect clarity, because it hasn't developed all those filters which prevent us from seeing things that we don't expect to see. em Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency

A diplomat is a person who can tell you to go to hell in such a way that you actually look forward to the trip.

This is just shit. It's happening. No blame. Happening and on the rise it would appear. What can we do to delay it? Probably zilch. To stop it? Likely less. But to survive it? Now that sounds more promising. There is evidence of bad shit having been survived before. Ancient Advice Left in cave by Wise French Caveman: "When Bigbad Shit come, no run scream hide. Try paint picture of it on wall. Drum to it. Sing to it. Dance to it. This give you handle on it." So Twister is my try. em uma carta a Allen Ginsberg (August 1993)

If you trust in yourself, and believe in your dreams, and follow your star... you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy. em A Hat Full of Sky

É inata no homem esta tendência a fazer perguntas, tão inúteis quão néscias, e a que ele sabe de antemão as respostas necessárias e coerentes.

O mais pesado dos fardos nos esmaga, verga-nos, comprime-nos contra o chão. Na poesia amorosa de todos os séculos, porém, a mulher deseja receber o fardo do corpo masculino. O mais pesado dos fardos é, portanto, ao mesmo tempo a imagem da realização vital mais intensa. Quanto mais pesado é o fardo mais próxima da terra está nossa vida, e mais real e verdadeira ela é. Em compensação, a ausência total de fardo leva o ser humano a se tornar mais leve do que o ar, leva-o a voar, a se distanciar da terra, do ser terrestre, a se tornar semi-real, e leva seus movimentos a ser tão livres como insignificantes. O que escolher então? O peso ou a leveza? (A Insustentável Leveza do Ser) The heaviest of burdens crushes us, we sink beneath it, it pins us to the ground. But in love poetry of every age, the woman longs to be weighed down by the man's body.The heaviest of burdens is therefore simultaneously an image of life's most intense fulfillment. The heavier the burden, the closer our ...

Una vez superadas exaltaciones y ensoñaciones, calmadas y aprendidas las pasiones de las primeras relaciones, dejado atrás lo que no fue y guardándolo sin rencores, gastadas las falsedades y maduradas las voluptuosidades. Una vez asimilada y corregida la falta de experiencia, encontrada en el día a día la ratificación ya sin ausencias, de que el querer a alguien es la más definitiva de las pruebas, al mostrarse ante el otro tal y como uno mismo se conserva, al comprobar que lo que uno da es lo que al final uno se lleva. Una vez diluidas entre fuentes de sinceridad las diferentes fantasías, por querer hacer un proyecto real con y de nuestras vidas, en el que uno sabe ofrecer cuando el otro más lo necesita, en el que de lo que se trata es de no llenarse de sensaciones vacías, de crear el propio camino sin dejar de lado las otras expectativas. Una vez ganada y exigida la propia independencia, respetadas las distancias cuando ésta nos lo sugiera, abandonada la idea de que sino se comparten...

Liberdade é o seguinte: não tenho a menor idéia  de onde fica Irkusk. Mas se algum dia me  proibirem de ir lá, Irkusk passará a ser o  objetivo fundamental de minha vida.

There are some people you like immediately, some whom you think you might learn to like in the fullness of time, and some that you simply want to push away from you with a sharp stick. Em The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul

A woman is like a tea bag - you never know how strong it is until it's in hot water. Em You Learn by Living

¿Qué es lo verdaderamente importante?, busco en mi interior la respuesta, y me es tan difícil de encontrar. Falsas ideas invaden mi mente, acostumbrada a enmascarar lo que no entiende, aturdida en un mundo de irreales ilusiones, donde la vanidad, el miedo, la riqueza, la violencia, el odio, la indiferencia, se convierten en adorados héroes, ¡no me extraña que exista tanta confusión, tanta lejanía de todo, tanta desilusión!. Me preguntas cómo se puede ser feliz, cómo entre tanta mentira puede uno convivir, cada cual es quien se tiene que responder, aunque para mí, aquí, ahora y para siempre: Queda prohibido llorar sin aprender, levantarme un día sin saber qué hacer, tener miedo a mis recuerdos, sentirme sólo alguna vez. Queda prohibido no sonreír a los problemas, no luchar por lo que quiero, abandonarlo todo por tener miedo, no convertir en realidad mis sueños. Queda prohibido no demostrarte mi amor, hacer que pagues mis dudas y mi mal humor, inventarme cos...

No matter how frightened and discouraged I may become about the future, I look forward to it. In spite of everything I see all around me every day, I have a shaky assurance that everything will turn out fine; and I don’t think I’m the only one. Why else would the phrase “Everything is alright” ease a troubled place in so many of us? We just don’t know, we never know, yet we have so much faith. We hold our hands over our hurts and lean forward. It is how we keep on, this kind of hope.

Qual de nós foi buscar o que já viu partir, quis gritar, mas segurou a voz, quis chorar, mas conseguiu sorrir?

Moyers : Do you ever have the sense of... being helped by hidden hands? Campbell : All the time. It is miraculous. I even have a superstition that has grown on me as a result of invisible hands coming all the time — namely, that if you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in your field of bliss, and they open doors to you. I say, follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be . Em The Power of Myth
