Amar, by Carlos Drummond de Andrade... à disposição na Estação Vila Madalena do Metrô ( SP)

Amar

Que pode uma criatura senão,
senão entre criaturas, amar?
amar e esquecer,
amar e malamar,
amar, desamar, amar?
sempre, e até de olhos vidrados, amar?

Que pode, pergunto, o ser amoroso
sozinho, em rotação universal, senão
rodar também, e amar?
amar o que o mar traz à praia,
o que ele sepulta, e o que, na brisa marinha,
é sal, ou precisão de amor, ou simples ânsia?

Amar solenemente as palmas do deserto,
o que é entrega ou adoração expectante,
e amar o inóspito, o áspero,
um vaso sem flor, um chão de ferro,
e o peito inerte, e a rua vista em sonho, e uma ave de rapina.

Este o nosso destino: amor sem conta,
distribuído pelas coisas pérfidas ou nulas,
doação ilimitada a uma completa ingratidão,
e na concha vazia do amor a procura medrosa,
paciente, de mais e mais amor.

Amar a nossa falta mesma de amor, e na secura nossa
amar a água implícita, e o beijo tácito, e a sede infinita.

Ya Hadrat Maulana

Oh Beloved,
take me.
Liberate my soul.
Fill me with your love and
release me from the two worlds.
If I set my heart on anything but you
let fire burn me from inside.

Oh Beloved,
take away what I want.
Take away what I do.
Take away what I need.
Take away everything
that takes me from you.

Hand

Every minute of your day, every beat of your heart,
we must live with all our passion, our intensity.
Live is short, my brothers...
Everybody, everything is a giant mirror...
And takes our hand to the magic dance through the path of live.
Turn on the spark of light. It's not outside. It's NOT outside.

Greatest paradoxus

In our times, everything has been changing with an incredible speed, never seen before. Technology entered our lives and keeps accelerating faster and faster.
The challenge is how we will nourish our inner structure, our human essence. The eye that allows us to savor, to appreciate an experience. The force that makes us miss something, the source, the beginning.
This is our Jihad. And everyone has his own Jihad. And we need each other to win this battle.

Peace and Freedom

You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.

Malcom X

Anoche cuando dormía

Anoche cuando dormía
soñé, ¡ bendita ilusión!,
que una fontana fluía
dentro de mi corazón.
Di:¿ por qué acequia escondida,
agua, vienes a mí,
manantial de nueva vida
de donde nunca bebí?

Anoche cuando dormía
soñé, ¡ bendita ilusión!,
que una colmena tenía
dentro de mi corazón;
y las doradas abejas
iban fabricando en él,
con las amarguras viejas,
blanca cera y dulce miel.

Anoche cuando dormía,
soñé, ¡ bendita ilusión!,
que un ardiente sol lucía
dentro de mi corazón.
Era ardiente porque daba
calores de rojo hogar,
y era sol porque alumbraba
y porque hacía llorar.

Anoche cuando dormía
soñé, ¡ bendita ilusión!,
que era Dios lo que tenía
dentro de mi corazón.

Antonio Machado
Poeta Sevilhano e Espanhol

" Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm "
Churchill

" You are young, my son, and, as the years go by, time will change and even reverse many of your present opinions. Refrain therefore awhile from setting yourself up as a judge of the highest matters "
Plato

" I do nothing but go about persuading you all, old and young alike, not to take thought for your persons or your properties, but and chiefly to care about the greatest improvement of the soul. I tell you that virtue is not given by money, but that from virtue comes money and every other good of man, public as well as private. This is my teaching, and if this is the doctrine which corrupts the youth, I am a mischievous person."
Socrates

Another day in paradise

When the fog, mists and doubts are gone, we can relax and push the Hold on button in our usual life...
How can we keep it more and more? But in a real plenitude, understanding and sharing with the others, in the same level...
Have a nice Sunday ... Sunlightday

Por favor, obrigado e desculpa...

Tão simples...tão raras...
...atropeladas pela sobrevivência, as pessoas esquecem do " higiênico",
do respeito, o olhar nos olhos e o realmente ouvir o outro. Se relacionar...
EU,EU,EU....MEU,MEU,MEU
MÚÚÚUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
BOO!

On the beach at night alone

On the beach at night alone,
As the old mother sways her to and fro singing her husky song,
As I watch the bright stars shining, I think a thought of the clef of the universes and of the future.

A vast similitude interlocks all,
All spheres, grown, ungrown, small, large, suns, moons, planets,
All distances of place however wide,
All distances of time, all inanimate forms,
All souls, all living bodies though they be ever so different, or in different worlds,
All gaseous, watery, vegetable, mineral processes, the fishes, the brutes,
All nations, colors, barbarisms, civilizations, languages,
All identities that have existed or may exist on this globe, or any globe,
All lives and deaths, all of the past, present, future,
This vast similitude spans them, and always has spann'd,
And shall forever span them and compactly hold and enclose them

Walt Whitman
