All I need is serenity to solve my stuffs; there is a big storm inside me, thousands of characters screaming to get out, voices echoing like a drum of my sorrows, my joys, my struggles… 

To live

There is a place I visit when I find myself sad and I have no more strength to react. It is a place I can feel quietly, I close my eyes and know peace.  I look inside me and before the immensity of my ignorance, I feel a tiny ant, maybe I do not understand anything, maybe I know nothing, I cannot understand the complexity of humans with so many aberrations in the face of so much hunger and misery that surrounds us, I just know I need to learn more, delve deeper into myself, and in the silence of the night my imagination navigates through tortuous paths in search of myself exactly, without even cosine and tangent, a simple equation where I can find a starting point and arrival. I am just a tiny ant, who do I think I am?  I look back, I turn the pages of my story and so I realize how many people who I loved have gone, and why am I worrying about? I always visit my memory, where are all my ghosts, my fears and everything that I have overcome in this life — that is the point — I will let the serenity take care of me. 

Living is not an easy task; nobody said that it would be easy. How many times have you ever seen this phrase? We need to open the chest, take a deep breath and speak out: I am alive — we need peace to be able to smile, we need of the rain to bloom, we need the serenity to shine… nothing is made of war, contrary; everything is made of peace. 

I think that fulfilling life simply is to comprehend the march and go ahead! 

To sing 

Singing life in a single refrain — it does matter whether sometimes we are tuneless or tuned, in the journey of this life we have to adjust clefs, the right intonation, the altos, baritones and sopranos, each of us in the perfect position to find serenity to chant the rhythm of the dance — dancers on the world stage, no rehearsal is needed, the most important is to enter the revelry and enjoy the moment. 

Singing the love in various dialects and sounds, because love is needed, only then we can feel our heart throbbing each time that we see a sunset or a child smiling, simple things that makes a big difference: the art of living. 

“Singing and singing and singing the beauty of being a lifelong learner, I know that life should be better and it will be, but that does not stop me to repeat, it is beautiful, it is beautiful, it is beautiful… life… Gonzaguinha.” 

To navigate

Adjusting the sails, untangle the thoughts, relieve the feelings to find calmer oceans, where we can anchor our boat and spot new landscapes and horizons, because sailing is necessary, we can never stop seeking our secure harbor. 

The serenity of the boat must be in the same compass of our desires and dreams, in the right measure — we have to tame our anxieties by waiting, slowly, with the rocking of the waves. 

Serenity to live, to sing, to wake up, and to sleep, mostly: to love people around us, because to understand the complexity of human beings is not easy, the multi plurality of our beliefs makes us apart, makes us perverse, incapable of perceiving the greatness of our mother ship: Earth! 

Finally, serenity to understand and accept the adversities of such an unequal world that increasingly needs peace to rebuild itself, the inside out, without borders, nationalities and religions… ♥
