2014

2012 and 2013 were THE years of my life so far, for a lot of reasons. For the good and for the bad (the last one nothing really dramatic though) every little thing, I think, happened.

2014 hasn't really started yet and it already seems too good to be true... I hope I'll make it a good one and keep following the path I created in the last ones which are making me really proud of myself.
2013 was a year to be grateful for all I have (even though I'm always wanting more - you know me!), questioning all things I always took for granted.
And just for the record, this is the biggest lesson I learnt in these past times and what I believe:

Without a goal it is difficult to score

Looks easy, right?

...It's not!

You know, the soul...

How long has it been since someone touched part of you other than your body?

Good vibrations!

Currently favorite: this music from Playing For Change.

Let's not worry my brother

In this world we're all the same

We must find peace

We must find it together

It's not far away from your heart

Playing For Change - Good Vibration

Word.

There is no passion to be found playing small - in setting for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.

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

Awareness

"I notice everything. I just act like I don't."

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.
