When it feels like home

I was thinking about how great life can be and how blessed I am because of the people I know, the places I go, the things I do.

I’m trying to return to myself after long, empty and dark years living for others. It was like starving in a feast, drowning in an empty pool or waiting for a miracle that would never come. Not being in power of your own life and destiny is like feeling homeless in captivity.

It’s good to belong to my own element again. Feels just right. Home is a special place (and it can be anywhere!) where you can see and allow yourself to exist and be happy.

Today I am.

tecidos e pensamentos

 

Meu Deus, me dê a coragem
de viver trezentos e sessenta e cinco dias e noites,
todos vazios de Tua presença.
Me dê a coragem de considerar esse vazio
como uma plenitude.
Faça com que eu seja a Tua amante humilde,
entrelaçada a Ti em êxtase.
Faça com que eu possa falar
com este vazio tremendo
e receber como resposta
o amor materno que nutre e embala.
Faça com que eu tenha a coragem de Te amar,
sem odiar as Tuas ofensas à minha alma e ao meu corpo.
Faça com que a solidão não me destrua.
Faça com que minha solidão me sirva de companhia.
Faça com que eu tenha a coragem de me enfrentar.
Faça com que eu saiba ficar com o nada
e mesmo assim me sentir
como se estivesse plena de tudo.
Receba em teus braços
o meu pecado de pensar.

(Clarice Lispector)

CIDADEZINHA QUALQUER
1967 – JOSÉ & OUTROS

Casas entre bananeiras
mulheres entre laranjeiras
pomar amor cantar.

Um homem vai devagar.
Um cachorro vai devagar.
Um burro vai devagar.
Devagar … as janelas olham.

Eta vida besta, meu Deus.

Do eterno, Carlos Drummond de Andrade.

{egrégora – egregore – egregor}

Alguns trabalhos, assim como algumas pessoas, nos permite evoluir a alma.

  “Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.”
— Antoine De Saint Exupery

1991-2010

One day, 2o years ago, I got this two songs as a gift from a certain boy.

I doubt he was ever able to feel that way again. Never mind.

Jealous Guy – John Lennon

I was dreaming of the past.
And my heart was beating fast,
I began to lose control,
I began to lose control,

I didn’t mean to hurt you,
I’m sorry that I made you cry,
I didn’t want to hurt you,
I’m just a jealous guy,

I was feeling insecure,
You might not love me any more,

I was shivering inside,
I was shivering inside,

I was trying to catch your eyes,
Thought that you were trying to hide,
I was swallowing my pain,
I was swallowing my pain.

I didn’t mean to hurt you,
I’m sorry that I made you cry,
I didn’t want to hurt you,
I’m just a jealous guy… a jealous guy.

You are so beautiful – Joe Cocker

You are so beautiful to me
You are so beautiful to me
Can’t you see
Your everything I hoped for
Your everything I need
You are so beautiful to me

Such joy and happiness you bring
Such joy and happiness you bring
Like a dream
A guiding light that shines in the night
Heavens gift to me
You are so beautiful to me…

A Little help from my friends…

A little help from my friends
What would you think if I sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me.
Lend me your ears and I’ll sing you a song,
And I’ll try not to sing out of key.
I get by with a little help from my friends,
I get high with a little help from my friends,
Going to try with a little help from my friends.
What do I do when my love is away.
(Does it worry you to be alone)
How do I feel by the end of the day
(Are you sad because you’re on your own)
No I get by with a little help from my friends,
Do you need anybody,
I need somebody to love.
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love.
Would you believe in a love at first sight,
Yes I’m certain that it happens all the time.
What do you see when you turn out the light,
I can’t tell you, but I know it’s mine.
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,
Do you need anybody,
I just need somebody to love,
Could it be anybody,
I want somebody to love.
I get by with a little help from my friends,
Yes I get by with a little help from my friends,
With a little help from my friends.
