ah, Cecília. Grande Meirelles!

"No mistério do Sem-Fim,
equilibra-se um planeta.
E, no planeta, um jardim,
e, no jardim, um canteiro:
no canteiro, urna violeta,
e, sobre ela, o dia inteiro,
entre o planeta e o Sem-Fim,
a asa de urna borboleta."

Games, games, challenge!

1/2 or almost part of the planet got hipnotized by the game. Of course it's funny, embraces everyone, different races, religions, places.
But it's still a game. Why not we challenge ourselves to improve our generosity, comprehension, real happiness. We didn't come to Play. Joy, sure. Love, sure. Search,sure. Follow the breadcrumbs...
Beware of the mirrors...accurate your view.
Peace my friends

“Se você deseja uma pérola,
Não a procure em uma poça de água.
Aqueles que buscam pérolas
Devem mergulhar no mais profundo oceano.
E quem irá encontrar a pérola? -
Aqueles que emergirem
Das águas da vida
Ainda sedentos.”

Rumi

O que buscamos?

Eles te virão oferecer o ouro da Terra.
E tu dirás que não.
A beleza.
e tu dirás que não.
O amor.
E tu dirás que não, para sempre.
Eles te oferecerão o ouro d'além da Terra.
E tu dirás sempre o mesmo.
Porque tens o segredo de tudo.
E sabes que o único bem é o teu.

Cecília Meireles

perennial philosophy

" The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved." Confucius

" He with whom neither slander that gradually soaks into the mind, nor statements that startle like a wound in the flesh, are successful may be called intelligent indeed." Confucius


" The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." Nietzsche
