No Faith?

Well I guess it would be nice
If I could touch your body
I know not everybody
Has got a body like you

But I've got to think twice
Before I give my heart away
And I know all the games you play
Because I play them too

Oh but I
Need some time off from that emotion
Time to pick my heart up off the floor
And when that love comes down
Without devotion
Well it takes a strong "me" baby
But I'm showing you the door

'Cause I gotta have faith...
Mmm, I gotta have faith
'Cause I gotta have faith, faith,
Mm 'cause I gotta have faith-a-faith-a-faith

Baby
I know you're asking me to stay
Sayin' please, please, please, don't go away
You say I'm giving you the blues
Maybe
You mean every word you say
Can't help but think of yesterday
And another who tied me down to lover rules

Before this river
Becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh baby I reconsider
My foolish notion
Well I need someone to hold me
But I'll wait for something more

Yes I've gotta have faith...
Mmm, I gotta have faith
'Cause I gotta have faith, faith, faith,
Mm 'cause I gotta have faith-a-faith-a-faith

Positively speaking...

...if I cannot change my fate, then I will change my attitude. True love is like ghosts: everybody talks about it, but few have actually seen it! To be able to say how much one loves, is to love but little..., because the mystery of love is greater than the mystery of death. Love does kill s...l...o...w...l...y! But we are all destined to die, so better to die of a passion than never to have loved. A hostile person lives in a hostile world, just as a loving person lives in a loving world. I want not to be immature and say I love you because I need you, but rather need you because I love you.

Shakespeare

"Love sought is good, but given unsought is better"

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

Marc Chagall

"In life there is a single colour, as on an artist's palette, which provides the meaning of life and art - it is the colour of love."

MARC CHAGALL

Irony

Yet, once in a while, in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale...

ego vs soul

How do we know if we are listening to our ego or to our soul?

When we are listening to our ego, we are thinking only of ourselves. When we are listening to our soul, we are putting someone else into the equation.

Notice how difficult it is not to think only of ourselves.

Remember that the source of our joy comes from empathizing with others...

Feliz Dia Nosso de Cada Um

Escuta a esperança,
no silêncio da própria alma
a falar-te de futuro e de amor...
Ergue-te e caminha.
Enxuga as lágrimas e fita os Céus.
Deus que te sustentou até ontem,
sustentará hoje e sempre.
A sombra vale para destacar a luz.
Surge a dor para aumentar a alegria.
Se provações te feriram, esquece.
Se desenganos te amargaram a existência,
não esmoreças. Escuta a esperança,
no silêncio da própria alma,
a falar-te de futuro e de amor,
de beleza e eternidade.
Olvida toda sombra,
à procura de mais luz e perceberás que Deus
está contigo, em teu próprio coração,
a estender-te os braços abertos.

♪ O amor é um sentimento,
que nem sempre traz felicidade,
teria alguem se apaixonado ou amado
sem nunca ter sofrido, chorado,
no final de um grande amor sempre vem a solidao,
se é que um grande amor um dia chega ao fim
o coração nem sempre responde a razão
ou melhor ele nunca responde a razão
como eu queria entender esse meu coração
ama sem ter razão e nao quer te esqueçer,
queria terminar, parar de sofrer mas todos os caminhos me levam para voocêe!♪♫

a cat's memory of nine lives

Daylight
See the dew on the sunflower
And a rose that is fading
Roses whither away
Like the sunflower
I yearn to turn my face to the dawn
I am waiting for the day . . .

Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan

Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again

Every streetlamp
Seems to beat a fatalistic warning
Someone mutters
And the streetlamp gutters
And soon it will be morning

Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I musn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin

Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
The streetlamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning

Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me
You'll understand what happiness is

Look
A new day has begun

i am fuming!!!

...and it upsets my flight!

La meilleure définition de l'allure: quelque chose d'indéfinissable!

we are different

The beauty lies in the ability to find the balance of complementary qualities in us...

what will it take?

It is simply too much...

Just normal

Isn't it?

How understanding must I always be?

Do not make me cry!!!

If man does not keep pace with his companions,

perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.

The River Should Not Divide Us

Real power has the harmony of the dualistic nature of achieving, by compromising AND striving. A river embodies both compromises with the geographical terrain, eroding and smoothing the way as it goes relentlessly flowing forward, striving to achieve its ultimate purpose of uniting with the ocean...

And so it shall be.

BE

Be strong in order to relax and surrender gracefully to life's challenges. And smile sincerely!

"But I am indeed the most balanced being you've ever had the pleasure of encountering!"

(Wait! Don't take it personally... Nothing was said about you being crazy! You are so re-active... Constantly needing to be on the defensive. Just BE. And do it now... )

Live, laugh, love. Just, please, live, laugh and love all @ the same time. Because it is the only coherent multi-tasking there is out there. I should know: I tried the other combinations and it almost drove me Krazy. Zanity feels good...

Esta canção nao é mais que mais uma canção
Quem dera fosse uma declaração de amor
Romântica, sem procurar a justa forma
Do que lhe vem de forma assim tão caudalosa
Te amo,
te amo,
eternamente te amo

Se me faltares, nem por isso eu morro
Se é pra morrer, quero morrer contigo
Minha solidão se sente acompanhada
Por isso às vezes sei que necessito
Teu colo,
teu colo,
eternamente teu colo

Quando te vi, eu bem que estava certo
De que me sentiria descoberto
A minha pele vais despindo aos poucos
Me abres o peito quando me acumulas
De amores,
de amores,
eternamente de amores

Se alguma vez me sinto derrotado
Eu abro mão do sol de cada dia
Rezando o credo que tu me ensinaste
Olho teu rosto e digo à ventania
Yolanda, Yolanda, eternamente Yolanda

Dedicated to the memory of Doña Armida Pozos Cruz

Q&A

Uma Rapariga perguntou a um Rapaz se ele a achava bonita, ele disse...não.Ela perguntou se ele queria ficar com ela para a eternidade....e ele disse não. Então ela perguntou-lhe, se ela se fosse embora, se ele iria chorar, e mais uma vez ele respondeu com um não. Ela já tinha ouvido demais. Assim, quando estava a ir embora, lágrimas caíam da sua, face, o rapaz agarrou seu braço e disse...Tu não és bonita: És linda. Eu não quero ficar contigo pra sempre. Eu PRECISO ficar contigo pra sempre. Eu não iria chorar se tu fosses embora...eu iria morrer...

... teu verdadeiro amor vai notar que gosta de ti.

A great story always has two sides...

Terra Buena

What to do about this broken heart?

Now I know there is no two without one

There is no two from three

This life is always on the move and never stops

And what am I to say?

Just please lie to me, tell me there is still hope

That we still exist and that in your life the sun never shines

That time does not count and that pain is only an illusion

Take me if you will

Without any destination and without any reason

Now I know that a heart which cannot not see

Is also a heart that cannot not feel

A hurting heart will pretend to love

And will bring profound suffering to the soul

Don't you believe in love and in a beautiful life?

Why did you heal this broken heart

Only to blow it to smithereens?

Who will share emotions with me?

Who will ask me not to leave?

Who will cover me up when it gets cold at night?

Who will heal this broken heart?

Who will bloom when Spring arrives,

and bring down the Moon, so we can play?

Tell me, my Dear, if you go...

Who will heal this broken heart?

What to do about this broken heart?

Don't condescend to me

It can never substitute real intimacy, my Dear

Just take it from me

Everything shall always pass

But after you...after you there is nothing

Why did you heal this broken heart

Only to blow it to smithereens?
