To return back home...

Major trail runner talks about the need to get back to his roots, back to simplicity... inspiring.

Why Lisboa...

despite the dark clothes most people wear, the constant complaints about how hard life is, the genetic fear of losing or winning (the last one because the common belief is that you will eventually loose what you won), living in Lisbon allows me to sometimes live days like this (in the picture), and these days feel like happy days...

this continous heartache that weakens me...

Nils Frahm – Said And Done (live at Haldern Pop Festival 2010) from Erased Tapes on Vimeo.

I regularly watch inspirational videos and I think about the way I think about things, and I try to be a good person (except when I’m in a hurry, then I do loose a bit of my grip) and, despite my effort, right here, in my heart, I’m always so sad... I believe in the wisdom of the heart, I believe in spontaneity, in laughing with joy, bathing in the sun, I believe in playing with sweetness and cleverness! I believe that life should not be wasted with silly annoying things, with ugly things, with things that are negative, things that are a pure waste of time, shallow things... and yet, I feel that I’m living a life full of all those things. I spend too much time alone, I spend too much time on the computer, I don’t create anything, I don’t share anything that is my own. I like to dance, I like to paint, to draw, I love to write and to listen to music. I love to help others with my strength, I love to feel that I’m doing something useful. I love to build castles in the sand with a friend or friends. Oh man, I get inspired so often! But my hands are dormant, my head is empty... I’m sad. I think that I if had my own window, from where a warm light could be seen from outside, then I wouldn’t feel so misplaced. I would be reading, or writing or listening to my favorite songs, and friends would ring at the door. What is it that makes me feel like I don’t fit anywhere? Where should I be? what should I be doing to really be the full me? I have so much to give, but I think I might be broken...

Mending...

Beautiful performance from artist Beili Liu Building from little pieces, mending, making sense of fragments, memories, taking the time to make sense... "she is in control, she is in charge, she is the one that creates, in this frightening environment (scissors above). When facing uncertainty and concern, the best that we can do is something really simple, with calmness and persistence some change can happen"

Into the Storm

I like these days of natural chaos. Big waves, strong winds, crazy rain... I just feel like getting into that mixture. To let my body get soaked wet, salty, messy. It's good to be one with the elements and not run from them. But, oh well, I did know about this warm, cosy place, where I could just get "safe" again. Lots of Grattitude!

Your Soul...

... is stronger than you imagine.
... is more powerful than you believe.
... is more knowledgeable than you think.

Trust in Your Higher Self and loose the Ego.
Choose Life.

Outuno...

Agora sim já se vê o Outuno...
e já faz sentido o apelo do conforto de um sofá a meia luz e um chocolate quente.
O vento chegou e ajuda as árvores a espalhar as suas folhas. Pelas serras os trilhos tomam as cores das bagas laranjas e vermelhas e rios e riachos voltam a encher-se de água em abundância.
Chegamos a casa com as bochechas frias e rosadas, pousamos o cachecol e o casaco que nos protege e pela janela, núvens gordinhas vão se apertando até chover de repente, com muita força.
Wow, que força...
Na costa o mar anuncia o Inverno, e o sol põe-se mais dourado que nunca.
Tem que se ir namorar o mar. É tão bom!
É altura de deixar espalhar os nossos sentimentos de carinho e espalhar doçuras e travessuras.
Agora sim, chegou o Outono : )

The challenge...

Ok, I'm finally facing the Big Blue Wall. Meanwhile, made a new friend here in Prague... yeah, I'm a bit scared, but all is good : )

Inner Peace = Happiness

“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.”
- Mahatma Gandhi

Steve Jobs (1955 - 2011)

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

~ Steve Jobs (1955 - 2011).
