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.

      (...)
