a lost heart
'Os amigos não são muito nem pouco, mas o número suficiente'
Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Livro dos amigos
'Friends are not many or few, but just the right number'
Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Book of friends
to all my friends that were worried and were asking about where i was…
i've come back, but i don't promise miracles. i need some time to heal
my heart.
i don't want to hurt anyone but please i don't want to talk about
what's happened… it just happened… and in consequence i decided to
delete all my photos. Maybe now i'm accepting that fact with sadness,
but life runs like this… i did it, is done.
from almost during a year i had been sharing with each flickr soul who
visited my photostream the most genuine of me and i couldn't
continuing… i am ashamed and betrayed… the pursuit of beauty (in
spirit) was corrupted…
in this present moment i don't have any encouragement or yearning to take pictures… everything is still too fresh and taking pictures hurts me…
i promise that i'll try hard… everything is a matter of time passing!
to those who became my flickr friends i just have to return all the kindness and love that you gave me… and i intend to do it (perhaps is a huge promise, but you deserve it).
you are the best and forgive me if i won't comment on your photos as much as you expect, but i'm always looking around sending thoughts of warmth and peacefulness.
have all a good week… each of us has a story to tell even in silence…

Ressurgiremos
Ressurgiremos ainda sob os muros de Cnossos
E em Delphos centro do mundo
Ressurgiremos ainda na dura luz de Creta
Ressurgiremos ali onde as palavras
São o nome das coisas
E onde são claros e vivos os contornos
Na aguda luz de Creta
Ressurgiremos ali onde pedra estrela e tempo
São o reino do homem
Ressurgiremos para olhar para a terra de frente
Na luz limpa de Creta
Pois convém tornar claro o coração do homem
E erguer a negra exactidão da cruz
Na luz branca de Creta
Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen
"Ressurgiremos para olhar para a terra de frente"lembro-me sempre destas palavras luminosas quando estou mais " à deriva".

every morning a new arrival.
a joy, a meanness
some momentary awareness comes
as un unexpected visitor.
meet them at the door laughing ~

RE: The Heart Sutra is about the Buddha's disciples, talking about emptiness, and the Buddha responding to that.
I assumed you knew it (sorry), because it is recited in all different languages, every day.
I'll try to find an English copy and send it to you ;)

Segue o teu destino,
Rega as tuas plantas,
Ama as tuas rosas.
O resto é a sombra
De árvores alheias.
A realidade
Sempre é mais ou menos
Do que nós queremos.
Só nós somos sempre
Iguais a nós-próprios.
