Harmonia de encaixes

[A escolha acertada da Rita aqui.]

... dormiam cansados, nos braços um do outro, maravilha que infelizmente não pode durar sempre, e é natural, um corpo é este corpo e não aquele, um corpo tem um princípio e um fim, começa na pele e acaba nela, o que está dentro pertence-lhe, mas precisa de sossego, independência, autonomia de funcionamento, dormir abraçados exige uma harmonia de encaixes que o sono de cada um desajusta, acorda-se com o braço dormente, um cotovelo fincado nas costelas, e então dizemos baixinho, reunindo toda a ternura possível, Meu amor chega-te para lá.

José Saramago, in Jangada de Pedra

Sacred place

Your sacred place is where you can find yourself again and again.

Socializing


Socializing is as exhausting as giving blood. People assume we loners are misanthropes just sitting thinking, "Oh, people are such a bunch of assholes" but it’s really not like that. We just have a smaller tolerance for what it takes to be with others. It means having to perform. I get so tired of communicating.

Fabulous Fashionistas

This documentary is a must-see.
I wonder if there's something more beautiful than a woman's body and an intelligent mind. I couldn't think of this documentary being made about men, for example...
You know I've always been inspired of great women (read here & here) and luckily I'm surrounded by most of them in my days. This doc. is an homage to all great women out there who ageing naturally, confident, intelligently and not in disguise; and a boost of confidence for me. 

"Award-winning director Sue Bourne explores the art of ageing in the company of six extraordinary women. With an average age of 80, Bridget, Daphne, Jean, Gillian, Sue and Lady Trumpington have something inspirational in common: a determination to keep going, to look fabulous and to have fun. 
Without botox or plastic surgery, these women are redefining old age, in style. Not one of them feels like an 'old person' and, in their own ways, they are defying expectations of the ageing process. 
This Cutting Edge documentary features uplifting, often poignant personal stories and insights into how staying young and dressing with style is about more than following the latest trends; it's about an attitude to life itself."

Best friend's portrait

De repente olhei para o lado e estavas assim...


"I'm useless...

...but not for long."

Overnight

At this very moment, I'm on one of my favorite moments of the day. It's late in the night, everything's calm and quieted... That's only me, all alone, wrapped on a blanket and listening to Gonzales. 
On a random thought, I realized yesterday was 11-12-13... Yeah, randomness.

Overnight - Gonzales



Cocooning time

It's getting cold and per usual my hibernation instinct is starting to set in. 
I'm definitely a more Winter/Autumn person! If I had to explain why (which I haven't and most certainly can't) it's simply because everything gets more cozy (especially on December, the sweetest month ever!). Even the clothes, I appreciate more the charm and class of winter clothes than the summery ones. Don't get me wrong, I do like Summer and in reality I feel fortunate to live in a country with the 4 seasons; it's just that I prefer the cocooning time.
I have this life dream/goal of working/living in some nordic country and I can't wait for the moment of my life when it'll actually happen and all this (below and more) can be more than inspiration - hopefully.
