ma petit baby penguin





I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart)
I am never without it (anywhere I go you go, my dear)
here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;
which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)
[e.e.commings poetry]

Nelson Mandela in his 1994 inaugural speech (quoting Maryanne Williamson)

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves,
'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?'
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so
that people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us.
And when we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others”

fundo da alma

Deserto
Império do sol
Prova dos nove, da solidao
Segue a miragem
Largo clarão, Livre prisão
Sem a menor aragem
Que grande mar
De ondas paradas
Que grande areal
De formas peladas
Vitória do espaço imensidão
Ponto de fuga, ampliação
Livre prisao
Anfitrião selvagem
No deserto
Oiço o fundo da alma
E se a areia está calma
O bater do coração
É que tanto deserto
Tão de repente
Faz-me pensar que o deserto sou eu
Se não me vieres buscar

happy birthday darling***


He was a boy,
with spheres of dreams, hopes, fears and joy,
He was just a boy,
dealing and working and thinking as pure as a boy,
I would keep you in my heart box,
I would watch you grow no matter what,
my friend you're now a man,
with duties, positions forever and
May i offer you a flower, a song or a hand,
something simple to share,
I would keep you in my heart box,
I would watch you grow no matter what
