The ability to just sit and talk


“I have the deepest affection for intellectual conversations. The ability to just sit and talk. About love, about life, about anything, about everything. To sit under the moon with all the time in the world, the full-speed train that is our lives slowing to a crawl. Bound by no obligations, barred by no human limitations. To speak without regret or fear of consequence. To talk for hours and about what’s really important in life.”

Good friends bliss.

Daily dose of inspiration


After this, if you know what I mean...

 


Never been good at being satisfied

I guess I've never been good at the "being satisfied" thing. I can recall this, this and perhaps this; and very often I encounter myself struggling with the "being happy, but never satisfied" feeling.
Even though I can be utterly and wholeheartedly grateful for all that I have, I always want and need more, and most of the times it means to move, to go, to change [places, people, lifestyle]...
I dream high, I aspire high (hey, I'm also talking about this) and so I get easily trapped on the webs of tiresome and boredom. Trying to learn something new everyday it's a priority for me (autodidact included), I like to be challenged and to challenge myself. Truth is, reeeally good things happened to me during the past year (mainly) (how  many times more will I repeat this?!) and it's with a great joy that I look back and see my own evolution, but now I guess it's time again...

I apologise for not translate the following poem to english, you know, I have hard feelings on poetry translations, especially with the portuguese language - my soul - (so may google translate rock your world!), but anyway I'm sharing a special one from a portuguese poet: 

Estou cansada, cada vez mais incompreendida e insatisfeita comigo, com a vida e com os outros. Diz-me, porque não nasci igual aos outros, sem dúvidas, sem desejos de impossível? E é isto que me traz sempre desvairada, incompatível com a vida que toda a gente vive...

Elegance isn't solely defined by what you wear. 
It's how you carry yourself, how you speak, what you read.

Carolina Herrera

The smell of the universe


I love the smell of the universe in the morning.

Estudo de Mulher


Na cama, onde o teu corpo, de costas, se abandona
aos meus olhos, e os cabelos se espalham pela almofada,
és a mais bela das mulheres nuas. Os pés, sobre
os lençóis que o amor amarrotou, cruzam-se, 
num breve descanso; e o rosto, de olhos
fechados, esconde o desejo que a tua brancura
me oferece, contra a parede que inscreve
o único limite do nosso amor. O braço direito, 
caído para o chão, agarra um vazio que encho
de palavras; e o braço esquerdo sob os seios,
indica-me o caminho em que cada repetição
é uma descoberta. Se te voltares, abrindo os braços,
e mostrando o peito, saberei o rumo a seguir,
nesta viagem em que és a proa e o vento; mas
se ficares assim, secreto retrato no atelier
do coração, apenas te peço que entreabras 
os lábios, para que um murmúrio nasça
de dentro da tela. Então, cobrir-te-ei as pernas
com o lençol; espalhar-te-ei pela almofada
os cabelos, escondendo a nuca e o ombro; e
deixarei que este poema se derrame sobre ti,
ateando este fogo com que a tua nudez
me incendeia.

Nuno Júdice, in Geometria Variável
