Too short

2010-07-21T19:37:00.005+01:00

This one doesn't need any comment... it's it all...

Have you ever seen the morning
When the sun comes up the shore
And the silence makes
A beautiful sound
Have you ever sat there waiting
For the time to stand still
For all the world to stop
From turning around

And you run
'Cause life is too short
And you run
'Cause life is too short

Have you ever seen the glowing
When the moon is on the rise
And the dreams are close
To the ones that we love
Have you ever sat there waiting
For heaven to give a sign
So we could find the place
Where angels come from

And you run
'Cause life is too short
And you run
'Cause life is too short
And you run
'Cause life is too short
And you run
'Cause life is too short

There's a time that turns
I'd turn back time
But I don't say I can
It only works if you believe in the truth
Well there's a time to LIVE
And a time to cry
But if you're by my side
I will try to catch a star
I'll try to catch a star
Just for you

And I run
'Cause life is too short
And I run
'Cause life is too short
And I run
'Cause life is too short
And I run
'Cause life is too short

Too short
Too short
Life is too short

Too short
Too short
Life is too short

In an old mine's sweat shirt...

"Time has come to face our own evolution and start a new phase development. A process of counscious evolution. We have to replace our everyday consciousness by a new way of thinking. The need to preserve fauna and flora. Simple in means. Rich in end."

PEJ 2010

2010-06-22T19:51:00.002+01:00

My first adventure in this was in 1999. It was also my first experience in such kind of meetings (excluding the National Scout Camps) and the beginning of some other international journeys. So, it was a mark in my faith growing, of course, but not in its strictly meaning but with all the tracks or the roots that can be linked to it. Friendship between those who followed me and shared all the moments that this event proposed (the dead tomb that we transported, the meals that we prepare... the mayonnaise, the rain,...), the ones who we met there and we still keep in touch (particularly from Romania, and the talk in the last night), the impact of so many people gathered with a common motif, a common belief, or even meeting again, in a foreigner country, our compatriots (that we don't know but as if we known each other since years).

In 2004, my responsibility grown because our group went alone; so, living all of this was a little bit different. But almost all the things that I've referred were present and, at El Monte del Gozo, it was amazing the entire ambiance around us, around all of us...
It's difficult avoiding returning to this experience. We grow on every way of our being, it's a fact, and maybe the time for living it has come to other ones - but we could see this meeting from other points of view (I guess). As long we keep an open mind, a spirit free enough to let the youth take us throw, there's always a place where we can give to the others a learn from them as well. This time, (still in the age limits :) ), I'm thinking of accepting the challenge that had been made to me. Helping, serving, it is another face of living the PEJ. And I guess I need to LIVE it that way too.

Memories of Thursday

2010-03-25T22:03:00.002Z

One of my favourites... it played time after time when evening comes and my eyes were on the window...

"I've been alone with you inside my mind
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello, is it me you're looking for?

I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted, (and) my arms are open wide
'Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much, I love you ...

I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again how much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello, I've just got to let you know

'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying, I love you ...

Hello, is it me you're looking for?
'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying ... I love you"

A Journey through the Forest

2010-02-17T20:25:00.002Z

It's amazing the feeling of walking by the forest... The same forest, the same river, the same water, almost untouchable, as quite as if it had just been created, the forest that others have crossed, over centuries and centuries.
Celts, romans, monks, knights, poor’s, sailors, liberals,... whatever the reasons that could move each one of them through this unrevealed forest, a mysterious feeling, a sense of being lost in the unknown with an hazy idea of an orientated path, guide us.
This is our journey in life. A travel through this beautiful landscape of memories and knowledge, colored of the green of hope, refreshed day by day with new dreams high extended to the skies, but always following the unexpected, the self discovering, running into the light peeking sometimes behind the leaves.
If, instead of running wildly to the end, we LIVE this track that we seek tree after tree, stone after stone, enjoying each moment as if it was unique, singular, unrepeatable... I'm sure that this track that we leave behind, that keeps printed, not in the ground, not in the trampled grass, but in our hands, in our smile, in our heart... will compose this journey... my journey.
My journey that I build at every moment, mixing dreams, hopes, expectations, joys... everything that LIVE in my own forest and lead me to a way... my way... So, as a choice's sequence, perfectly assimilated, my life gains a meaning and a reason in which I have the leading role, because "life is journey, not a destination".

I don't know why I looked for...

2009-09-14T22:46:00.002+01:00

Elise Garber married the first boy she ever kissed. She met him at an Outward Bound--style summer-camp program when she was 15, she "sort of dated" him for the summer, and then, like most teenage romances, it ended. Twenty-two years later, they met again on Facebook.
"I don't know why I looked him up," says the 37-year-old former advertising-agency executive in Chicago. Garber was showing a co-worker how Facebook works, and to demonstrate the search function--a feature that allows users to search for the names of people they know--she entered Harlan Robins, the name of the first boy she kissed. At the prodding of her co-worker, Garber sent Robins a message. And then she waited. Would he respond? Would he accept her friend request? Was it weird to contact an old summer-camp boyfriend?
[...] For them, life really did resemble a romantic comedy. Robins remembered his summer-camp girlfriend and replied to her Facebook message. They agreed to meet for drinks the next time he was in Chicago. When they saw each other, something clicked. They talked into the night, went out the next day, then decided to give their long-distance retrosexual romance a try. Surprisingly, it worked. Garber quit her advertising job and moved to Seattle to be with him. On Sept. 6, they married. "And to think," says Garber, "I worried that we'd spend the whole evening talking about summer camp."

Hello!
Time to clean all the trash in my desk and seat down just a few seconds to try writing some words... And, because it is about trash that I am talking, what about take this challenge to each one of us and 'make this world a better place to live'? Let's do it?

Un nuovo mondo!

Back (I hope) from... a lot of things

2007-09-04T13:45:00.000+01:00

Hello!
I have been away for a long time... Away, from this space, of course. A lot of things kept me busy and without any time to write some words.
I believe that I will have again some time to write but also to read... something that I didn't have any time... definitely.
So here I am again trying to look life through its backward view... When we stand back, we can look into ourselves, but we can also see what it is forward... If we don't see anything... well, we need to create it, paint it, imaging it... and I’m sure that it is one of the funniest exercises on each day to LIVE.

To Me

2007-06-22T11:06:00.000+01:00

For the last times I haven't any will to write...
May be there are things to say that can't be said... or at least, the words are lost… or missing...
So, when we just have a white board in the head, it's better being silent... or sing something beautiful... something... from the heart...
Sometimes I really want to sing… The song?... Well I guess that any song with some deep meaning could fit. A universal meaning that anyone could understand… With strings or piano… with words that could make us... LIVE …

You are so beautiful to me
You are so beautiful to me
Can't you see
Your everything I hoped for
Your everything I need
You are so beautiful to me

Such joy and happiness you bring
Such joy and happiness you bring
Like a dream
A guiding light that shines in the night
Heavens gift to me
You are so beautiful to me

Hopes and Fears

2007-04-30T10:15:00.000+01:00

Some days ago, I read something about hopes and disappointments on our relationships. I have been thinking about that since then and how does it happens with me.For me it's not as so easy to manage my relationships... Friendship is a very important value to me and I don't like to take any risk that can break it up... But being carefully like this can stop me to be more who I am and much more important, what I feel. So, I'm at the middle of the bridge and I really don't know what side should I take... express my feelings and taking the risk of being misunderstood or the other side, preserving the friendship but carrying alone in my soul what I feel and another way of living this friendship, may be more deep. I don't know if this happens only with me but, in those cases, I really would like to have a sign, to choose for what is the best for everyone... Believe me... it is not easy.

in the name of love

"One man come in the name of love"

"One man come in the name of love"

"One man come in the name of love"

"One man come in the name of love"

Why can't we be different for a while and LIVE in the name of love too??? Can I make the difference???

Moment of Miracles

2007-03-10T00:25:00.000Z

He knew

that no single day is the same

as any other

and that each morning

brings its own special miracle,

its magic moment

in which ancient universes are destroyed

and new stars

are created.

Paulo Coelho|By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept

Miracles are not facts that we can see, that we can publish on the news, that can be sold by the street.
Miracles are moments in the rhythm of the time.
They are happening all the time… All of us are a space where miracles have been taking place on the timeline. We can open our heart to feel them and let them transform ourselves, our we can shut the eyes of our souls as if nothing could ever happen.
Like a stone, we can be indifferent to the water’s flow and be vanished to dust at the sea, or we can grow, with the strength of its purity and jump up to the sky and LIVE.

Writing Signs

2007-01-11T21:39:00.000Z

I was once almost determined to write one thing about some other post... and some other mail...
I guess this is the time... must be a sign, certainly...
I have some types of writing depending on if it's only to be understood by me or by another person, and if it is to be beauty and perfect, or big and legible...
Examples:

Life questions.

2007-01-09T21:41:00.000Z

There are a lot of questions that comes to my mind when someone talks about life... Can it be possible that people could have different ways of seeing life, in its essence? Can life be judged, chose, determined, closed by our own will? Makes any sense, what I do, what I give, the time, the effort, the time, the things, the time,... to mould, to save (sometimes) someone's life, of a child, of a teen, a friend, someone older... when I know that others all over the world didn't have the luck of having someone to look them with a human eyes to a human soul. Their lives are played on a russian roulette… maybe tomorrow I don’t loose it.
Love someone it is so simple as washing the face in the river in the early morning. Just a want attitude is needed and the simplicity of nothing to have. That's why, for many people, life don't have m(any) value... It can't be evaluating on dollars or euros or any kind of a money measure. There are exceptions of course; sports players for example,... models,... Their lives are valuable and someone who might think that can give them a butt kick must be interned in a psyche clinic immediately...
"Is this the real life?" Well I guess this is the real world but this world is very far the real life that it could be.
Yesterday I saw in a documentary on the TV that they are hunting sharks to cut them off their fins to cook them on a Chinese soup. Sometimes they throw the sharks alive again on the sea... Is this the human concept of life? It's not mine. But it is still a stupid world when there is life to ones and survive to others... and nothing makes sense from then on...

JESUS

2006-12-28T20:08:00.000Z

And then I saw Him in the crowd
A lot of people had gathered round Him
The beggars shouted the lepers called Him
The old man said nothing
He just stared about him
All going down to see the Lord Jesus
All going down to see the Lord Jesus
All going down

Then came a man before His feet he fell
Unclean said the leper and rang his bell
Felt the palm of a hand touch his head
Go now go now you're a new man instead
All going down to see the Lord Jesus
All going down to see the Lord Jesus
All going down

It all began with the three wise men
Followed a star took them to Bethlehem
And made it heard throughout the land
Born was a leader of man
All going down to see the Lord Jesus
All going down to see the Lord Jesus
All going down

It all began with the three wise men
Followed a star took them to Bethlehem
And made it heard throughout the land
Born was a leader of man
All going down to see the Lord Jesus
All going down to see the Lord Jesus
All going down

It's coming

2006-12-12T19:15:00.000Z

Christmas time is coming once again. I like very much all the time before Christmas... the preparing time... It's when we prepare our heart to receive Him: the One that is coming. Because work, year by year, this time is reducing more and more; better, the time that I save to prepare is minor. And, by the consequence, the moment after Christmas it is awful to spend. It's like something that had happen and we didn't live it completely as we should.
The long afternoons, listening Christmas’s song from the old vinyl discs, decorating the tree and inside’s walls, picking up the little figures from the old big hood box , setting the lamps on, inside and outside the house,... I'm loosing all of this spirit... the spirit that keeps us tuned to the love and peace and all that values that we claim particularly for this time of the year. So, the Christmas day it is also a panic day because I have to live all of this things that I enjoy when I was a kid in less than 24 hours... and the clock doesn't stop. On the night of that day there is the strange feeling that everything had already over...
I want to make the things different, this year. I want to play from the start, I want to be a part of this contagious feeling of love and peace, and make it true all over me. May be I can't bring the peace to the world. I think it is important now bringing the peace inside me.

Dreaming...

2006-11-10T17:37:00.000Z

"It's Winter-fall
Red skies are gleaming - oh -
Sea-gulls are flyin' over
Swans are floatin' by
Smoking chimney-tops
Am I dreaming...
Am I dreaming...?

The nights draw in
There's a silky moon up in the sky - yeah -
Children are fantasising
Grown-ups are standin' by
What a super feeling
Am I dreaming...
Am I dreaming...?
woh-woh-woh-woh

(dreaming)
So quiet and peaceful
Tranquil and blissful
There's a kind of magic in the air
What a truly magnificent view
A breathtaking scene
With the dreams of the world
In the palm of your hand

(dreaming)
A cosy fireside chat
A little this, a little that
Sound of merry laughter skippin' by
Gentle rain beatin' on my face
What an extraordinary place!
And the dreams of the child
Is the hope of the man

It's all so beautiful
Like a landscape painting in the sky - yeah -
Mountains are zoomin' higher - mm -
Little girls scream an' cry
My world is spinnin' and spinnin' and spinnin'
It's unbelievable
Sends me reeling
Am I dreaming...
Am I dreaming...?
Oooh - it's bliss"

Is it possible that we can live in a world of fantasy? is it possible to make our life a continuous dream, with references on the past, with feelings of the present, with hopes on the future? Is a dream too much fantasy? Where does it ends and begins the reality?
Those are some of the questions that come to my mind when I'm thinking in dreams, when I am in a dreaming level and the reality seems to be so complicated, too much real indeed...
I really think that our interior spirit life should be some steps forward of our exterior spirit body. This last, has to know where the flow goes, have to see clearly the way in front of him. As analogy, the dream could be like the lights beyond the car, when we drive by night, and shows us the way we want to follow. How more is the strength of our dream more far we can see and be enlightened to the course that I want to impel
my boat as Baden Powell said. The ones that don’t take the dream as a guide to impel them lives, they just let them go with the rest of the flow as the sheep...
I want to make my life so beautiful!... "Like a landscape painting in the sky - yeah"

The world that we created

2006-11-03T10:31:00.000Z

It passed 60 years since Freddy was born. I get used to this kind of personalities that has, as background of an artistic genius, or scientific, or any other kind of performing mind, some misunderstand way of life. I am not censoring it at all. I am just wondering if there is any relation between this two minority (???) worlds.
His legacy to the world by the music and the words it is much beyond of this different looking ways of social or what ever types of living.
He helped us to see the miracle that our life can turn to, the magic behind every living moment, the amazing possibilities of the radio, the beauty of the friend's relationships, the wonderful and sometimes painfully feelings that love can bring to our hearts and so much more...
He really showed us this, our, living world...
But also a world that we don't preserve as a place to live... to everyONE LIVE...
The world that we created....

"Just look at all those hungry mouths we have to feed
Take a look at all the suffering we breed
So many lonely faces scattered all around
Searching for what they need

Is this the world we created?
What did we do it for?
Is this the world we invaded
Against the law?
So it seems in the end
Is this what were all living for today?
The world that we created

You know that every day a helpless child is born
Who needs some loving care inside a happy home
Somewhere a wealthy man is sitting on his throne
Waiting for life to go by

Is this the world we created?
We made it on our own
Is this the world we devastated
Right to the bone?
If theres a God in the sky looking down
What can he think of what weve done
To the world that he created?"

This is not the world I would like to create.
I will try to do something about it... What about you?

Falling ideas…

2006-09-22T22:03:00.000+01:00

The autumn says its hello this night….

This is a time that brings to me so many memories… beautiful memories… most of them about school.

I remember the sunny mornings, wetted by the rain at night, with my nerves out of my skin but with an anguish too feeling of meeting new friends, new professors, new experiences…

I remember the smell of the smoke in the street that comes from the nut’s rosters…

I remember the sound of walking through the dry leaves on the sides of the streets…

Oh, God I just can imagine this senses on my head. I would like to share this pictures with you, this pictures of growing, of colours, of sounds, but we didn’t thought that it would matter someday…

Today I will try to posterize this experiences of day living. My experiences, but also the ones that live them with me… my family, my friends, my little (and not so) nephews, the children with I walk (in this way of learning to live),…

And the worse of all… I miss my camera… I guess it is time to prioritize some expenses…

I like the autumn brown colour… I guess it links us a little more to the earth… as there it was an energy that causes a ‘fall’ in our inside ‘feel’… Somehow we are invited to LIVE more intensely… but with the feet on the ground…

2006-08-25T11:21:00.000+01:00

"Today, this right moment, it is a gift"

Robin S. Sharma
in "The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari"

We don't give the right value to this gift that is being alive.

With so many wars, diseases, catastrophes, poor conditions...
being alive it is a great gift!

Just the simple fact of breathing it is a enormous gift...
feeling in the wind the smell of a full covered field with flowers,
of an autumn rain wetted olded leads,
of the underground's air after a rainny day in the summer,
of the first breaths of the spring weather in a sunny day,
of an hot coffee in a Shopping,
of the paper journal in the morning,...
it's a gift!

And what about seeing?...

And what about touching?...

And Tasting?...

...

Oh there is so much to thank of...
this gift of everyday living,
of every little living moment...

Consentient

2006-08-16T09:07:00.000+01:00

Yesterday it was the most confusing day of the year in this little sea town. It came people from everywhere... I usually went out this day to run out from the invasion but, for many reasons, I couldn't make it this time.
With a big effort, I tried to finish reading a book of Richard Bach, one of his last ferrets adventure: "The last war"
All over the place we could see how people still doesn't understand that they are a part of this "thing" that someone called Humanity. And being a part of it, means that we have to live relationed one to each other. But it seems that we don't have the courage to leave definitely the evil from within of our hearts.
That it was happened yesterday right in front of my eyes with people buldozering each others, trying to pass throw everyone, even old women and children just to get loser a damn procession... We still feel in the air, the dry smell of burned trees that are still burning for several weeks all over the country, painting the sky in grey, caused, for purpose, by sick people that doesn't understand that they are killing the nature itself, the global balance of the species, the weather,... and the future of the next generations... The TV, still shows the devastated scenarios of cities completely destroyed by war at several countries or the active conflicts or the high tension behind them... All of this are truly facts and stupid reasons to justify the evil presence in the mankind purposes... they just immerge out from those stone hearts in different ways... It isn't worse the selfish desire, unrespectable act of pass throw everyone to rich closer, at any cost, than killing innocent people, even if we think that we have a good reason. It is the same evil that moves us to the bad actions.
I'm a little piece in the world puzzle to make the difference. But I believe that many more pieces could be herad; that I... we could encourage to join and assume this vote in my and each entire life to appeal to the world to ear the Richard's words:
'I withdraw my consentient to the evil.
I withdraw my consentient to the war.
I withdraw my consentient to the violence.
I withdraw my consentient to the evil. Forever.'

Sometimes we just feel like being able to dream over the sky, and fly, and fly,... fly to a nowhere land, to a nowhere place, where everything is perfect and nothing , but nothing could harm you...

Sometimes, just dreams passes over the head...

"When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those to love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true"

Sometimes I wonder…

And just dreams passes through the head...

Let us to wish upon a star

And leave away the reasons of being sad.

I get, finally, some of the peace in my mind that I was needed for a long time.
I will have more time to post some of the things that came to my mind these days and update the reading on my friend’s blogs.
It's time to read some books also and I promise to share its thoughts here, in this place, where the day living meet the soul and, together, turn our acts in a Sense of LIVE.

Rock in Rio Lisbon 2006

2006-06-05T15:22:00.000+01:00

Today, I am a little bit sleepy...
I just slept two hours last night because I went to the "Rock in Rio" - Lisbon 2006 edition, on his last, day to see Sting :)))
I could see and ear the Anastacia and the Corinne Bailey Rae performance and some more that were very good... truly LIVE concerts
But it was Sting the one that I most wanted to see.
Its concert it was amazing, with such energy and rhythm that I never thought he could performed.
More than a concert, more than a show, Sting did what I think he is been doing for a long time: Passing a message. I didn’t notice that he came to Lisbon to sing some oh his songs, say nice words to the crowd and go away home with everybody happy.
I think that he wanted to express, by his way to see the music, the words within, the rhythm, the instruments, that we can join strengths "For a better World" - the theme of the Festival.
It was a great final to an event that wants to establish chains of strength to see the world with a brighter eyes vision... For a better World... To LIVE.

Learn to Learn

2006-05-29T15:26:00.000+01:00

One of these evening nights, I was listen the Alanis Morissette theme "You Learn" (the acoustic version on MTV is very intense) and some thoughts came to my mind.
The first idea that I could pick up from the song letter is obvious... everything that we do it is an opportunity to learn, to feed our durst of knowledge. The good or the bad, the active, the daily or the singular, the romantic, the physical or psychological… experiences... laughing or crying, loving or hating, screaming, bleeding, choosing or asking, walking, falling, looking, kissing, dreaming, rising up,... with all that we do and even, with all that we haven't done we can learn. After all, living it's a continuous learning process, and it is an evidence that, when "You live you learn".
But what kept my attention this time was that we have to learn to learn. In the university, I had a teacher that was saying this all the time... "You just are here to learn how to learn"... Live isn't being quiet and waiting for something to happen... it is not being quiet and looking to the others around to see what happens to them.
To LIVE is to act, is to play a role in this life's theatre... as Shakespeare shown us in his plays.
To LIVE is to try, is taking a risk. Like a "three-year-old would do", we must be able to try... "feel free"... to try what are out of the sight, swimming against the flow, come to the surface, look to the sky, to the sun,... To try the fire like a "three-year-old would do"... and learn.
It is only possible to learn if we don't give up when we find a barrier in front of us. To learn it is transpose that barrier that blocks us the way and scream out loud the victory... the victory of learning... and learn... and LIVE!

I couldn't resist and picked up my guitar and sang for several minutes...

“I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone
I recommend walking around naked in your living room
Swallow it down (what a jagged little pill)
It feels so good (swimming in your stomach)
Wait until the dust settles

You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn

I recommend biting off more then you can chew to anyone
I certainly do
I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at any time
Feel free
Throw it down (the caution blocks you from the wind)
Hold it up (to the rays)
You wait and see when the smoke clears

You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn

Wear it out (the way a three-year-old would do)
Melt it down (you're gonna have to eventually anyway)
The fire trucks are coming up around the bend You LIVE you learn

You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn

You grieve you learn
You choke you learn
You laugh you learn
You choose you learn
You pray you learn
You ask you learn
You LIVE you learn”

"You Learn"

Imagine [reviewed]

2006-05-25T17:50:00.000+01:00

Today, in our world, this world that surrounds us, in every ways, we create an image of the things from the visible face that we know and we just can see upon all of its face if we were taught to. We just see the things as they used to be and as they used to mean... like a glass of water... it is just a glass cup... cylindrical... may be made from plastic or crystal glass... opened by on of the tops... and we fill it with water... pure water or treated water with that clored taste... But our parents and his parents and before them, were used to imagine boats, big ships, rainstorms... inside of that simple and common cup of water...

We lose this fantasy because we have, and want, and demand, that everything should be explained... we want an explanation to everything. I saw yesterday the "Big Fish" movie and this generation gap could be seen perfectly... is perfectly shown the contrast between a conventional life and other, coloured with fantasy, and how we can elevate ourselves to other frontiers by the dream... "It's by the dream that we go", someone wrote, and fantasising is one way of turning to a closer reality, the dreams that we have, and live them, as they were real. It's not living in an imaginated world... it is live this real world, with his own magic and his fantasy that the oldest people (the wisest ones as we say many times say) were taught to see.

On the last 20^th of May, passed 500 years of the Cristovao Colombus death... the man that come true the dream, the fantasy, the imagination of a remote possibility, even a foolish idea of reach the India by the sea. He didn't arrive to India... but the fantasy took him to an inimaginated world... The New World...

Sometime we need to imagine another world... Right from the beggining until the end of our life time, there are moments when the unknown, the imagination can let us go throw the pain, through loniless, throw the physical boundaries that we have in front. We can see this in the "Finding Neverand" movie... The Neverland can be right in front of you... you just have to close your eyes, turn around, smile, let your spirit fly and imagine...

I think that our life could be much more attractive, stimulating if we try this... painting the unexpected, seeing throw the visible face of things. I am learning and studying how can this idea be developed in my professional life...

I often use imaginary themes with scouts to help them to reach some aims that we establish from the beginning of an activity. It's also useful to explore some thematics that have important messages that we didn’t saw or didn't pay much attention but have so many things to teach, from which we can learn so much and bring so much value to what, day by day, is given to us to LIVE.

TAG [24.may]

2006-05-24T11:20:00.000+01:00

24.may [00:23']
This is the first time that I will do this... let's see...

1- Given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as your dinner guest? As your close friend? As your lover?
For dinner: Phillipe Starck
For friend: Richard Bach
Lover: I'm fine thanks

2- Would you be willing to reduce your life expectancy by five years to become extremely attractive?
What a waste of time

3- Would you rather spend a month on vacation with your parents or put in overtime at your current job for four weeks without extra compensation?
The first for sure

4- When did you last cry by yourself? In front of another person?
I don't remember that kind of moments but not more than two weeks ago.

5- If 100 people your age were chosen at random, how many do you think you'd find leading a more satisfying life than yours?
If they were Portuguese may be no one... I don't have many claims to invoke...

6- If you had the choice of one intimate soul mate and no other close friends, or of no such soul mate and many friends and acquaintances, which would you choose?
I don't know... something pushes me to the friends...

7- Do you think your friends would agree with one another about the kind of person you are?
Definitely, I really don't think so.

8- Would you prefer to be blind or deaf?
I prefer not being blind... the world has much more beauty to see rather to ear. The thing that I would miss more was the music but I'm learning to feel it in my body as it happens with singing... feeling the vibrations of our vocal chords throw all of my body. Beethoven composed lots of music play after being deaf. For now, I see and ear very well :)

9- How many of your friendships have lasted more than ten years? Which of your current friends do you feel will still be important to you ten years from now?
Some part of them... I make friends for life... I don't talk with my best friend for more than a year but he is still my best friend and I pray for him every day.

10- If you could mould to your liking your memories of any past experience, would you do so?
No, I don’s see any reason or benefit in that.

11- Would you be content with a marriage of the highest quality in all respects but one's it completely lacked sex?
No

12- If you were happily married, and then met someone you felt was certain to always bring you deeply passionate, intoxicating love, would you leave your spouse? What if you had kids?
No. Intoxicating love only can murder a happy relationship

13- Relative of the population at large? How do you rate your physical attractiveness? Your intelligence? Your personality?
I don't rate... There are things that we must let the heart lead. As I said before there are matters that we should dispense the analyse process.

14- If you could script the basic plot for the dream you will have tonight, what would the story be?
Me, a Porshe 911 Turbo (serie 4) and a road plenty of curves... and may be some trucks...

15- While out one day, you are surprised to see your father holding hands with someone who is clearly his lover, he begs you not to say anything to your mother. How would you respond? What if your mother later told you that she was going crazy thinking that your father was having an affair yet knew it was just her imagination?
I can't imagine that.

16- If you had to spend the next 2 years inside a small but fully provisioned Antarctic shelter with one other person, whom would you like to have with you?
May be G. Bush... I think I can handle the sacrifice and the world will have two years of peace... may be more... I don't if he could handle... lol
In an alternative choice, may be a Tibetan monk.

17- You become involved romantically but after 6 months realize you need to end the relationship. If you were certain the person would commit suicide if you were to leave and were also certain you could not be happy with the person, what would you do?
I will pray for God to receive her and accept her choice of living her liberty way.

18- What was your most enjoyable dream? Your worst nightmare?
Dreaming with....
I don't remember anyone except an accident with my Citro 2CV.

19- If by sacrificing your life you could contribute so much to the world you would be honoured by all nations, would you be willing to do so? If so, would you make the sacrifice knowing that someone you thoroughly disliked would received that honour while you went unrecognized?
Yes. My fulfilment of such an act can pass through all the unlike thoughts and acts and person. We climb to a level were nothing of material and human level could interfere.

20- Would you like your spouse to be both smarter and more attractive than you are?
I don't if she would want that kind of state... having a husband more stupid and ugly then her... :)

21- You discover that your wonderful one-year-old child is, because of a mix-up at the hospital, not yours. Would you want to exchange the child to try and correct the mistake?
I'm sorry but it is completely impossible predict what I would do in such situation... I think that the exchange is logical but it couldn't be only that...

22- When did you last sing to yourself? To someone else?
One our ago,
"The fire fades away
Most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's to hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're the other side of the world to me"
part of KT Tunstall latest single.
Yes, two.

23- Which sex do you think has it easier in our culture? Have you ever wished you were of the opposite sex?
I think that men still have an higher status in the society and we can still see women being treated as princesses or slaves... But, fortunately, things are changing, especially in the business world.

24- What are your most compulsive habits? Do you regularly struggle to break these habits?
Don't saying "no" and passing cars with short time opportunities. No :) and No... I like it... it's pure fun... better than sss..soup... my mother's soup... :)

25- Would you enjoy spending a month of solitude in a beautiful natural setting? Food and shelter would be provided but you would not see another person.
Yes, sometimes I need it... Anyway, I would never be real alone....... with that entire beautiful natural scene….

26- If you knew you would die of an incurable disease within 3 months, would you allow yourself to be frozen within the week if you knew it would give you a modest chance of being revived in 1,000 years and living a greatly extended life?
I think that is a very fictionary scene, with lack of plus information for which I don't have any answer.

27- You are invited to a party that will be attended by many fascinating people you have never met. Would you want to go if you had to go by yourself?
Yes, why not... Adventure it's not my surname but I think that someone of my ancestral had it... :)

28- If you were at a friend's house for thanksgiving dinner and you found a dead cockroach in your salad, what would you do?
I will pay more attention with the desert.

29- If someone you love deeply is brutally murdered and you know the identity of the murderer, who unfortunately is acquitted of the crime. Would you seek revenge?
There are legal ways to lead with such individualities.... revenge doesn't bring back anyone... just despoils a cascade of madness.

Runaway

2006-05-23T15:42:00.000+01:00

Sometimes I have this will of runaway and riding my little jumpy car to nowhere, listening the tenor's bi-composed sound of the two opposite cylinders pushing us hill upon hill in this magic adventure of a loneliness song.

Sometimes I have this will... But why do I feel that it would make me feel more alive?...

Cypress jan/25 - feb/3; jul/26 - aug/4

"Cypress-people are different. And they want to be different. They loathe everything conventional, ordinary. They are looking for the spiritual light, love the art and the unusual. They are very awake, and see something special in everything, and can even open the eyes of others, to show them what they had considered something normal already. Young cypresses are enthusiastic about everything. So if their thirst for knowledge leads them to dark paths, they should be guided back to light. Other than that, these trees don't need any restrictions, but LIBERTY!"

It matches. :)

Analyse [reviewed]

2006-05-05T16:28:00.000+01:00

Many times, we ear a music and we don't pay many attention to the message that it wants to pass to the listener.
For some reason, in a moment, something in our head tunes to that words or even simply to the melody and we are transport to some message rail that shows so many things that were unrevealed to that moment.
Yesterday I was listen The Cranberrie's 'Analyse' theme and I realize how beautiful and, most of all, practical, this words can be to our life and the way as we LIVE day by day.
Firstly, I liked the introspection attitude to open my mind: "Close your eyes, breathe the air out there". Then the important assumption that we are free,... to think, to act, to turn my life around, to step my steps ahead...
But the important thing that came to my mind about this words is the worry that people express (i'm included) on analyse the attitudes, behaviours, emotions, thoughts or words spoken... in parallel with a mystified sort of ideas which characterizes people, situations, and other living circumstances not like as they really are but as a synonymous of a multifaceted preconceived points of view.
At a certain level, we can't keep this analyse attitude. We must see with a pure look, with an open mind to all the beauty that lives behind our eyes and from of we been distracted and blinded so many time. This sight of the things doesn't mean naiveness; it's other way to evolutes to something higher, something that we are usually afraid to rich because we don't know. If we don't do it "That will paralyse", I think, more than a evolution, but a truly revolution of our lifes - we won't be able to see throw the hill...

One thing that can help to change this rational attitude can be: "let your heart decide" (as Celine Dion sings)... at least in the common daily situations. (It's a little bit ironic that we tend to think with the heart when we have time to and we should think more with the head and, when we should act with the purity of the heart impulse, we rationalise the attitudes).
Letting the heart to decide can show more of what we are, what we think, what we feel... we act more side by side with the truth of what we are. The compromise is to feel in the heart full love so that, when we take any attitude, that, could spring from the centre of the heart plenty of the same love.

We will love more, ourselves and the others if we can lead our life to the other way of LIVE.
"Don't analyse"! Just LIVE.

Analyse

Close your eyes, Close your eyes
Breathe the air out there
We are free, we can be wide open
For you open my eyes
To the beauty I see
We will pray, we will stay
Wide open

Don't analyse, Don't analyse
Don't go that way
Don't lead that way
That would paralyse your evolution
Don't analyse, Don't analyse
Don't go that way
Don't lead that way
That would paralyse your evolution

La la la This greatest moment
La la la The strangest day
La la la The greatest love of them all

La la la This greatest moment
La la la The strangest day
La la la The greatest love of them all

Close your eyes, Close your eyes
Breathe the air out there
Fantasize, fantasize
We are open
For you open my eyes
To the beauty I see
We will pray, we will stay
Together

La la la This greatest moment
La la la The strangest day
La la la The greatest love of them all
La la la This greatest moment
La la la The strangest day
La la la The greatest love of them all

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la

We are tending, without any signs of other way choice to follow, to the point of no return in the love relationship of the mankind with itself like the love story of the phantom of the Opera. We see evil growing by all over the world, by every place and it seems that we can't do nothing and will be our destiny become phantoms to one and other.

I think that, no matter what we can do now, we could not avoid this happening thing... I guess that it is needed...

Somewhere, some when and somehow this will explode (whatever it means)... may be it is needed. May be this will have to really BANG to the Power Management people of this society realize that we are men and women, equals, flesh of the same flesh, living in the same material world and we should start to think as one... multicultural, multicoloured, multi language speaking,... as singular members of the mankind but as one... that someone called Mankind.

May be we have to pass throw a seed grain life process like Mafalda Veiga sings "But it is needed to dye and born again, to seed in the dust and collect once again".

May be this will explode someday... That's also because of that, the meaning, the reason of my and your life. We can't change the world and may be the changes that we can add in this society will have to dye. But we can't stop to do it around us; so that, when the world reborn, it could grow with the strength of the good seed, rooted deeply underground the mankind values.

I am prepared to sacrifice my life; I am able to suffer the consequences of this fired world consummation. I wish that all of you, my friends, could pass throw a popcorn transformation, from an insipid state to another sweet, from a little orange ball to a white plushed flowered form...And when we open the eyes again I want see myself and all of you around me turned into that reborned man that recognizes and let the other to recognize in my look, my smile,.. the white side of our nature.

Some men, today, are anger to make history and write their names in the future books. They don't care anything about the future. I just simply want to build the book, to make it real, to add white pages, again and again and again so that, at the end of the times, we would be able to write the happiest story ever written. A story that LIVEs beyond the times.

2006-05-03T09:26:00.000+01:00

I want to bang down all your sadness, all your pains...
I want to bang down them over and over!
I want to BANG up your happiness and get your biggest smile, your wildest laughing moment...
I want to BANG UP again and again and again...

Smily Words

The Joy of a Smile

"I caught a smile today.
I held it in the palm of my hand
and marveled at the beauty that it possessed.
The light that shone from within its soul leapt in powerful succession;
all of my grey clouds were blown away.
The infectious childhood delight was its parade.
No false pretenses did it portray.
I have caught other smiles before this day,
ones that would tear through my soul with icy fire,
ones that would mock with fake apathy,
ones that would cry tears of woe but laugh with wretched scorn.
This little smile, oh what a beautiful and marvelous gift it is.
This little smile has come to me from a heart that has truly seen,
for it warmed my palm like that of the moonlight fairies.
It kissed my heart and brought to it such peace;
joy flowed through the crevices that time had create.
Oh, what blessing is this tiny smile,
if only I could keep it tucked inside my palm forever.
But no, this gift is not mine to keep for eternity,
rather, it is only inspiration for a moment.
I must let the smile go, to go and bring this same delight to another soul in longing.
Today, I opened my palm and sweetly blew the smile away.
Into the winds it magically flew, softly kissing the lips of the sky.
As I watched this tiny smile flutter away,
my own began to form."

"Then she sees Jesus but does not recognize Him. Not until He speaks her name: "Mary". Then her eyes are opened."
Jn 20: 14-16

And so does are mine.
I believe there is this invitation in my soul:
I believie in this ressurrection of my life... Let back all the darkness of the world and get dressed of the life's light, of the whitness on our look and smile, of the clarity on our embrace or helping hand, of a crystal clear testify,... I believe.
I believe being possible to let a true trackable follow steps living way to the bright side of the life.
I believe that we can 'recome' to life in this sense of meaning... restart from nothing... get drunken on the higher love... When we give love... when we give ourselves in love we feel like a little ressurrection of our soul... when we give ourselves totally,... when I dye for myself and live for the other one... whatever it means... physical, psychological, professional, emotional, spiritual...
I Believe.
We do ressurrect to a new born living life, to the happiness of the love,... right in the middle of the happiness where the love is color, is breathe, is touch, is taste, is music, is all in all that we can LIVE.
I believe so much...
I do B LIVE!

"And so my heart rejoices
my soul is glad,
even my body shall rest in safety
for you will not leave my soul among the dead,
nor let you beloved know decay;
You will show me the path of life
the fullness of joy in your presence
at your right hand happiness for ever"
Psalm 16: 9-11

Love's Weekend - Love's Life

2006-04-04T14:08:00.000+01:00

Last weekend, was a weekend of love...
I reflected on Pope encyclical letter "DEUS CARITAS EST". I don't want to explain it here but I really recommend it to EVERYone. It contains a message much beyond any believing faith, about how we can understand the love, on its different acclivities, and how this love can be LIVEd on a truly human way.
"This transformation can be recognized and tested by anyone, independant of his faith, religion, and even else if doesn't praticise any religion"(2). For the unprejudice, courage and free minds, you can find it here. "I believe so very much. Because love is universal. I mean, you don't have to tell somebody that loving is better than hating"(3).
About a year ago, I reflected with my friends in our Group, on Desmond Tutu book "God has a Dream". It's funny and seriously amazing, one year after, feel how can be easy to turn real this dream in our lifes and how universal and practical could be this dream... "Love grows through love. Love is 'divine' because it comes from God and unites us to God; through this unifying process it makes us a 'we' which transcends our divisions and makes us one, until in the end God is 'all in all'."(1)
"We should learn to see with the eyes of the heart". "If we had eyes to see, we would look each other and see the God's beauty and we would call ones and others with the reverence and awe appropriated."(2). "Love is the light — and in the end, the only light — that can always illuminate a world grown dim and give us the courage needed to keep living and working. Love is possible, and we are able to practise it because we are created in the image of God. To experience love and in this way to cause the light of God to enter into the world"(1).
As long as we try to feel, to grow, to understand, to live with this "look of love", and see the humanity that flourish deeply inside of each Human Living Heart, we can enlight this world of such warm peace that we won't need to search for God anywhere... We will recognize Him all over His creation and beyond His grace we will LIVE.

Silent Weekend

2006-03-31T10:43:00.000+01:00

"Love of neighbour is thus shown to be possible in the way proclaimed by the Bible, by Jesus. It consists in the very fact that, in God and with God, I love even the person whom I do not like or even know. This can only take place on the basis of an intimate encounter with God, an encounter which has become a communion of will, even affecting my feelings."

Reflections of the Spring

2006-03-28T17:54:00.000+01:00

This weekend I went to Fatima...
It was a start of some moments of reflection.
Climbing to an high mountain where we just can ear the birds singing, the whisper of wind in the tree's arms, seeing the grass dancing movements or a runnig fly of a bird, feeling the clouds on the face and the wet smell of the feathers brings to me a durable peace and quitness to my senses.
My coleague take this week off for hollydays so I'm alone in the office.
I've always the radio on but being alone brings me some silence thoughts that cannot be shared... just reflected...
It's curious that this reflective time, with the necessity of get into our heart, our soul, having an introspective actitude, it doesn't come at the cold, uncolored and dark months when the fall leaves the trees off of their dresses but come with the spring active movements of the birds, the butterflies, the flowers, the feathers, the sun, the life itselfs...
Why this time to stop, to close the eyes, to look deep inside of me?
Yes.
I think all of this have a reason.
Only in this time we can discouver how all this beauty is reflected inside of me...
Discovering how can we have an active spirit movement,... an high sky looking throw the concept of our values,... a colored paint of our feelings,... a perfumed breath of our words... a perfect reticulated shape design of the main veins of our life.
It must exist a spring, at least, every year in our life. We must let the spring lead us to a new generated life...
That is what I will be praying for all next weekend in the silence of this joyfull, musical, unstopble spring time, by praying and directing all my atention to the One that created it and gave it all to us... to LIVE...

New World

2006-03-16T10:05:00.000Z

There are so many things, notices, images, that shows the worsest things in the world and only a few showing the highness, the lovely, the perfection of this great creation where we LIVE and wich we are really made of.

There was a time when I thought that if we shouted this LIVE more and more, higher and higher we could be heard sometime.

But now I'm shure that, sometimes, our silent words transposed to our LIVIng acts, could be the best shouting voice we could give.

I was looking to the sea, and there's nothing like letting our spirit float by the wings of the dream upon this fresh salted wind that rides us beyond this living nature, this nature force, to a place where everything is so consistent, so perfect, so mature, so aLIVE. I want to take part in the creation of this New World where anybody could LIVE.

This morning, I waked up with the "Garden of Senses" melody in my head. This kind of things are happening often in this last times and I don't know why. Or.. may be yes,... "Music was [almost] my first Love and it will be my last" as John Miles sings, so it is natural that it LIVEs on many places of my sub-conscious.
I started thinking 'why that music?' (I don't hear it since a long, long time)

For many years and still now, Vangelis has my admiration, specially as a composer.
One thing that it is really amazing is how he can enter in all the context of the music.. and LIVE the feelings that surrounds all the pictures, all the colors, all the breathes that the music can transmit.
When we hear the "China" album or the "1492" we are transported immediately to the scene of the theme, to the time of the picture, to the feelings... all the feelings that are behind the rythm, the notes, the melody,... the softly touch of each instrument, the gratest entusiasm of the orchestra...

May be that's why I love so much being, creating and LIVE in the Imagination Scenaries, transporting to our reality, in all ways,.. visual,.. mental,.. spiritual,... all the reachness of such imaginated worlds.
We can LIVE without them, for sure... But life could be so much pleasured if we paint it with this imaginated world music colors.
We can turn our life into this garden of senses where we breathe this music, this magic, this new world, this feeling of been aLIVE anywhere else and being present, here, today, at the same time, where we can sing the true colors of love through an open and freely heart.
Yes. There is that garden on my mind where I know that I want to LIVE.

"Days of the garden.
Days in the sun.
Warm in my secret.
Lost in your eyes.

Love, sweet as water.
Love, sweet as wine.

(...)

Sing with your heart (hold me, hold me)

With your heart
With your heart
With your heart
With your heart
With your heart"

To all the woman in the world,
known and unknown,
alive or imortalized,
forgotten or memorized,
hopping that I can remember them
each day of the year,
each second of the day,
respecting and loving them more and more.
Because
She, is more than a looking sight,
More than a home where I arrive
More than a shelter, warmy, at night
She is the music I wish to see...
And tunes my smile to be alive!

And only music can make it so bright.

"She
May be the face I can't forget
The trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay
She May be the song that summer sings
May be the chill that autumn brings
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day
She
May be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams
The smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell
She
Who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one's allowed to see them when they cry
She
May be the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past
That I'll remember till the day I die
She
May be the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I'm alive
The one I'll care for through the rough in ready years
Me I'll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I've got to be
The meaning of my life is
She
She, oh she"

SHE, Elvis Costello

There will be a time, a moment, when we won't need to be part of a big web community to share with all mankind what we realy feel, what we need to say, what my LIVing life is made of.
Somehow, we are expecting that someone, someday, would create for us that virtual world where we'll be in continuous connection; so there is no reason to think about it now.
Wrong. There is a light upon you that focus your life, to be and take part of this universal need of expressing ourselfs today, saying our feelings in the lines of comunications, being in a universal selfconscious status. We can be always in touch.
I would like to feel the light of your life and share your, mine, our reasons to LIVE.
Cause we never feel the same...
Cause we never use the same words...
Cause we might be aparted of life and unknow that there is always one more reason to LIVE.
LIVE!
