Darkness

Darkness scares us. We yearn for the comfort of light, as it provides shape and form, allowing us to recognize, to define what's before us. But what is it we're afraid of, really? 
Not of the darkness itself, but of the truth we know it hides within.

Choices

 
 

What's in store for me

    
    

   

     

   

   

      

    

  in the direction I don't take?

   

   

   

   

  

   

      

  

  

  

Friends

 
   
 

Death is but crossing the world, as friends do to the seas -

  
      

they live in one another, still

   
    

For they must needs be present, that love and live in that which is omnipresent

      
    

In this divine glass, they see face to face; and their converse is free, as well as pure

        
    

This is the comfort of friends - that though they may be said to die, 

yet their friendship and society are, in the best sense, 

       
   

ever present, 
    

   

because immortal.

Chaos

Seth, the egyptian god of  deserts, storms, evil and chaos.

   

   

  

He is the strength of the opposite principle, the Yang, the balance that permeates the inner and the greater things.

    

    

   

Good and evil. These forces surrounds the All, expanding or contracting, until their conversion is whole, spontaneous and, therefore, free.  

  

      

        

  

  

But, indeed,

  

  

  

only light

   

   

   

can permeate darkness

   

  

   

   

    

Gone with the Wind

Wind

   
 

 
 
 
 
 

To be like
    
   
a free wind

    

  

   

Blessed

 
 

And do not think you can send love in its flow

          

   

   

   

   

..for love, if it finds you worthy
  
       
   
   it will direct you
   
  
   

The Palace

       

 

Era um dos palácios do Minotauro

- O da minha infância para mim o primeiro -

Tinha sido construído no século passado (e pintado a vermelho)

Estátuas escadas veludo granito

Tílias o cercavam de música e murmúrio

Paixões e traições o inchavam de grito

Espelhos ante espelhos tudo aprofundavam

Seu pátio era interior era átrio

As suas varandas eram por dentro

Viradas para o centro

Em grandes vazios as vozes ecoavam

Era um dos palácios do Minotauro

O da minha infância - para mim o vermelho

     
   

Ali a magia como fogo ardia de Março a Fevereiro

A prata brilhava o vidro luzia

Tudo tilintava tudo estremecia

De noite e de dia

Era um dos palácios do Minotauro

- O da minha infância para mim o primeiro -

Ali o tumulto cego confundia

O escuro da noite e o brilho do dia

Ali era a fúria o clamor o não-dito

Ali o confuso onde tudo irrompia

Ali era o Kaos onde tudo nascia

 

- O Nome das Coisas, 1977 - Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen

The Best Teacher

 
 
 

 

The best teacher is experience 

    
      
  

and not through someone's distorted point of view

Wandering Child

       

Hilfloses Kind, so schwach, so rührend

lass dich von mir, führen

    

Vater, bist du's, ob Freund, ob Engel

Oder Phantom, zeig dich

Engel komm sprich zu meiner Sehnsucht

komm zu mir her, neig dich

    

Lang musstest du mich entbehren

Nun aber triffst du mich hier

   

Will mein Verstand sich auch wehren        Will dein Verstand sich auch wehren

komm ich doch zu dir         kommst du doch zu mir

   

Engel der Muse, ich war treulos

sah nicht was dich schön macht

Engel der Muse, sei und bleib bloß

nah bei mir mein, Engel

   

Engel der Muse, du warst treulos

sahst nicht was mich schön macht

Engel der Muse sei ganz scheulos

komm zu mir, mein Engel

   

Ich bin dein Engel der Muse

Komm zu mir, Engel der Muse 

   

Recovering the Way

And Hansel said to Gretel:

   

    
"Let  us  drop  these  breadcrumbs  so  that  together  we  find  our  way  home,  because  losing  our  way  would  be  the  most  cruel  of  things." 
   
   
This year, I lost my way, and losing your way on a journey is unfortunate, but losing your reason for the journey is a fate more cruel. The journey lasted eight months. Sometimes I traveled alone; sometimes there were others who took the wheel…and took my heart. But when the destination was reached, it wasn’t me who arrived…it wasn’t me at all. 
   
And once you lose yourself, you have two choices.
    
 Find the person you used to be, or lose that person completely. 
   
Because sometimes you have to step outside of the person you’ve been and remember the person you were meant to be — the person you wanted to be — the person you are.

The Doors of Perception

If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is
     
    
 infinite
        
        
For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things through narrow chinks of his cavern

- William  Blake, The  Marriage of  Heaven  and  Hell

Where do we turn?

A Knight's Oath

 
 
 

Lady  Godiva  -  John  Collier

A knight is sworn to valor

   

His heart knows only virtue

   

His blade defends the helpless

His might upholds the weak

   

His word speaks only truth

   

His wrath undoes the wicked

    

 

Love Remembered

 
 
 
 

Love Remembered - Wojciech Kilar

Mental Universe

         

                 
     
         
 
       

Thinking of the stars night after night I've began to realize that
     

"The stars are words", 
    

and all the uncountable worlds of the Milky Way are words
    
 and this world is as so.
    
   

And I've realized that it doesn´t matters where I am,
    

be it in a small room full of ideas or in this infinite Universe of stars and mountains,
   

all is on my mind.

    

There is nothing in the world,
    

except the (Golden Eternity of God's Mind) own Mind.

 
 
 
 
 

- Lonesome Traveler - J. Kerouac

Found & Lost

 
   
 

 

Found. 

    

   

Then lost.

   

         

Just words. I will find it.

Masked Ball

 

   

   

   

There is no privacy that cannot be penetrated
   
    

No secret can be kept in the civilized world
   
    

Society is a masked ball where everyone hides his real character, 
  
   

and then reveals it by hiding

   

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Drama, Drama, Drama

 

Grace is at the core of tragedy

     
   

For, if there is no height of which to drop,     

No pride taken in a life lived,   

You have nothing to lose

    
   

But once in a free fall of disgrace

The only way to change the momentum

   
   

Is to use it to your advantage

Far Away, Long Ago

 
 

 
 


 

Far away, long ago
  

Glowing dim as an ember 
  

Things my heart  
   

used to know
    
  
    

Things it yearns to remember

 

 

In Memoriam

 
 

       

Be near me when my light is low,

When the blood creeps, and the nerves prick

And tingle; and the heart is sick,  

And all the wheels of Being slow.

                  

Be near me when the sensuous frame

Is rack'd with pangs that conquer trust;

And Time, a maniac scattering dust,

And Life, a Fury slinging flame.

                       

Be near me when my faith is dry,

And men the flies of latter spring,

That lay their eggs, and sting and sing

And weave their petty cells and die.

                           

Be near me when I fade away,

To point the term of human strife,

And on the low dark verge of life

The twilight of eternal day.
