…only love has …

…only love has the power to forgive. For love, although it is one of the rarest occurrences in human lives, indeed possesses an unqualed power of self-revelation and an unequaled clarity of vision for the disclosure of who, precisely because it is unconcerned to the point of total unworldliness with whatthe loved person may be, with his qualities and shortcomings no less than with his achievements, failings and transgression. Love, by its very nature, is unworldly, and it is for this reason rather than its rarity that it is not only apolitical but antipolitical perhaps the most powerful of all … Continue reading …only love has …

That is what love is, or at least, a glimpse of it.

The penetrating stare across the room, the one that can read your soul so easily. The kind of soul that can go through the bones in between the veins and bones, and comprehend how you genuinely feel. Love is when you look into the person’s eyes and understand the connection that you cannot have else where.

Just be yourself…

A lot of us start to modify and change ourselves, leave our dreams behind, sacrifice who we really are and what we are trying to be – just because someone in our life has a problem with it. Because we don’t fit into “their” mold of how we should be and behave. My thoughts: Seriously … life’s too short to be someone else.

We are … Continue reading Just be yourself…

What makes me sad…

Dear, I’m not sure I can ever pinpoint precisely what makes me sad, or if anybody can or will be able to. Songs like opera, make me sad. Thinking about how slippery and awfully precarious life is, and how much I want to nestle myself in the past, makes me sad. Not being able to do anything else but curl up in my bed, alone, makes me sad. And oh, the list could go on forever: strangers I’ll never love, never touch; fields I’ll never be able to lie in, stars I’ll never be able to see burn, memories I’ll … Continue reading What makes me sad…

In a small city in Minas Gerais…

In a far away land there is a city with hundreds of wise houses. Each house has a roof, a soul and an attic with two windows. Eyes scrutinize the birds that get back to their nests late at night, the grannies that bake homemade bread, the blatant children playing outside, the flowers raising their heads in the sun, the cats that purr in hidden corners, the dogs hiding their precious bones, the women that dream of the return of their husbands and the husbands dreaming of other women. Every day opens a new color, a new hope, ends a … Continue reading In a small city in Minas Gerais…
