Tive uma linda notícia esta semana. Dois amigos meus estão grávidos! E porque me encanta profundamente o poder de criação que existe em cada ser humano, senti-me muito emocionada e inspirada por eles. 
Que estas fotografias tão bonitas funcionem como estrelinhas de boa sorte, para o grandioso caminho de descobertas e presentes que certamente os espera.

I had a beautiful news this week. Two friends are pregnant! And because I'm deeply fascinated by the power of creation that exists in every human being I felt very emotional and inspired for them.
I hope that these beautiful pictures will work as good luck stars for the great path of discovers and presents they surely have waiting for them.

How do you fall in love?

On
December 27, 2012

"How do you fall in love?

You don’t fall in love like you fall in a hole. You fall like falling through space. It’s like you jump off your own private planet to visit someone else’s planet. And when you get there it all looks different: the flowers, the animals, the colours people wear. It is a big surprise falling in love because you thought you had everything just right on your own planet, and that was true, in a way, but then somebody signalled to you across space and the only way you could visit was to take a giant jump. Away you go, falling into someone else’s orbit and after a while you might decide to pull your two planets together and call it home. And you can bring your dog. Or your cat. Your goldfish, hamster, collection of stones, all your odd socks. (The ones you lost, including the holes, are on the new planet you found.)

And you can bring your friends to visit. And read your favourite stories to each other. And the falling was really the big jump that you had to make to be with someone you don’t want to be without. That’s it.

PS: You have to be brave. "

O meu jardim

"(...)
After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much
So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers
And you learn that you really can endure, that you really are strong and you really do have worth and you learn and you learn
with every good-bye you learn."

Cada vez mais, eu planto o meu jardim e cuido das sementes que outros plantaram. Cada vez mais, eu permito-me abraçar cada ciclo e aprender com cada mudança de estação. 
Obrigada Ana, por esta música :)

More and more, I plant my garden and take care of the seeds others planted. More and more, I allow myself to hug every cycle and learn with every season change.
Thank you Ana, for this song :)

Ontem estive num lugar especial a celebrar o solstício de Inverno, num encontro com a natureza, comigo mesma e com outras mulheres. 
Foi memorável e precioso! Obrigada Vera Eva!

Porque todos os dias se acaba um mundo ou outro, porque efectivamente sabemos muito pouco sobre o que existe para lá do nosso próprio mundo e porque nesta vida, que está cheia de estrelas, planetas e galáxias por descobrir, todos os minutos são uma oportunidade de começar algo novo...

Vou mas é dançar um samba!

Because every day one world or another ends, because we actually don't know that much about what exists behond our own world e because in this life, that is full of stars, planets and galaxies to discover, every minute is an opportunity to start something new...
I rather dance a samba!

Actos aleatórios de Amor I

On

{photo by my dear and beautiful friend Ariane}

Cada vez acredito mais que o Amor é uma acção.
Não é apenas verbo ou palavra bonita. É mesmo acção!
Então, não sei exactamente se quando alguém diz que ama faz também aquilo que diz. Mas sei que é algo que verdadeiramente só é possível fazendo.

Talvez algumas pessoas pensem que o Amor é um sentimento. E também é. Mas, eu sinto, Agir por esse sentir, é Urgente!

Hoje, eu estou infinitamente grata a quem me ama sem condições. Quem me cuida, mesmo quando me exige. Quem me proteje, mesmo quando deixa a janela aberta para eu voar. Quem troca sonhos comigo, sem expectativa de que eu sozinha os faça acontecer. Quem permanece, apesar de todos os meus defeitos. E que, pode até não entender muitas das coisas que eu sou, mas aceita quem eu vou "estando" em cada momento.

Hoje, eu sinto o meu coração enorme. Difícil de conter dentro do peito. Porque em cada respiração eu contenho o meu Amor por ti e por ti e por ti e por ti e por ti...

(para os meus amigos e para os meus "desconhecidos")

Every day I believe more that Love is an action.
Not only a beautiful word or verb. It's really an action!
So I don't know exactly if when someone says I love you is actually doing what it's being said. But I know that is something that it's only truly possible by doing.

Maybe some people think that love is a feeling. And it also is. But, I feel, Act for this feeling is Urgent!

Today, I am infinitely grateful to those who love me unconditionally. Who takes care of me, 
even when demands from me. Who protects me, even when decides to leave the window open for me to fly. Who exchange dreams with me, with no expectation that I alone make them happen. Who remains, despite all my faults. And that might not even understand many of the things I am, but who accepts who I'm "being" in every moment.

Today, I feel my heart so huge. It's difficult to contain it inside my chest. Because in every breath I contain my love for you and for you and for you and for you and for you...

(to my friends and to my "strangers")
