The Unforgettable Gaze

beatrizesmer

Love, a wandering vagabond, drifts through the corridors of our lives, donning a thousand faces, each more enigmatic than the last. It merges seamlessly into every scene, a chameleon of emotions, blending into the tapestry of our existence. Yet, amidst this ever-changing masquerade, there exists a singular soul, a beacon of constancy, whose gaze pierces through the veils of disguise. On the winding path of life, it is this soul that offers us that unforgettable look in the eyes, a look that transcends the ephemeral nature of love’s many guises. It is a look that speaks of recognition, of a … Continue reading The Unforgettable Gaze

A date that seems to float in the ether, untethered by specifics, yet heavy with meaning. Tonight, you are called to return to yourself, to that pure essence that once existed free from the imprints of others. Imagine a time when you were a child, or perhaps lost in a dream. In those fleeting moments, you were unburdened by the world’s expectations. You knew that having what you wanted felt good and made your life better. There were no issues of worthiness, deserving, or doubt. There was just peace and contentment. Babies are born knowing to seek comfort, love, connection, … Continue reading August something, 2012.

Revealing the Heart

“How do I write about this? Where do I begin?” I ask, my voice a whisper of uncertainty. I gently place my hand over my chest, feeling the rhythmic beat of my heart. “Reveal your heart,” I say softly to myself. “Give it a safe place to bleed.” My heart, a vessel of emotions, yearns to be heard. It carries the stories of my joys and sorrows, my triumphs and defeats. It holds the essence of my being, the raw and unfiltered truth of who I am. To write is to open the floodgates of my soul, to let the … Continue reading Revealing the Heart

Letter to the Young Beatriz

beatrizesmer

In the year 2000, time was a mischievous thief, stealthily pilfering the vibrant threads of my youth. My stories, though seemingly counterfeit, held the truth of my beauty in girlhood. I was a wildflower, braless and free, dancing like dervish petals in the spring breeze. My smile was as refreshing as lemonade, and my dresses were short, embodying the essence of pink and warm honey. I was a collection of bones, fragile under the weight of insecurities, yet radiant with the glow of youth. Today, my chin is softer, my hands bear the marks of time, and my breasts are … Continue reading Letter to the Young Beatriz

Le pouvoir de l’amour

beatrizesmer

Non, ce n’est pas l’amour qui se contente de remplir les pensées, les espaces et les temps vides. L’amour est une force créatrice, une flamme qui illumine l’obscurité de l’esprit et du cœur. C’est l’amour qui donne naissance à de nouvelles pensées, qui élargit les horizons de notre être, qui transforme l’ordinaire en extraordinaire. L’amour ne se contente pas d’occuper les vides; il les transcende, créant de nouveaux espaces là où il n’y avait que le néant. Il façonne le temps, rendant chaque moment précieux, chaque seconde une éternité d’émotions et de significations. C’est l’amour qui nous fait voir le … Continue reading Le pouvoir de l’amour

The Unveiled Grace of Maria

beatrizesmer

How does one connect with the invisible women of Brazil, distant from the world of bootees? She prayed out of despair; her mother loved to pray, she loved to swim. She had a habit of telling others to take a bath. She thought that by washing the outside, she could also cleanse the inside. One day she discovered that to cleanse the soul, she needed more than water and soap. Maria did not believe in naive kindness. She was suspicious of the feminine calvary, a place instituted by her mother: A woman must accept the cross, mortify herself, surrender to … Continue reading The Unveiled Grace of Maria

The Beauty of True Care

beatrizesmer

In the quiet moments of my reflection, like this afternoon, when the world seems to pause and the noise fades away, a profound question emerges from the depths of my soul: How many people can I claim truly care about me? Not just the ones who bring laughter and joy into my life, nor merely those I hold dear and trust implicitly. But those rare souls who feel a genuine elation when I bask in happiness and success, and who share in my sorrow when I am hurt or facing life’s trials. These are the people who, without hesitation, would … Continue reading The Beauty of True Care
