wondering yet

"You got me
That's where I'll always be"
(Entreolhares)

Paz.

Não agüento muito tempo um sentimento porque passo a ter angústia e meu pensamento fica ocupado com o sentimento e eu me desvencilho dele de qualquer jeito para ganhar de novo a minha liberdade de espírito. Sou livre para sentir. Quero ser livre para raciocinar. Aspiro a uma fusão de corpo e alma. Não consigo compreender para os outros. Só na desordem de meus sentimentos é que compreendo para mim mesma e é tão incompreensível o que eu sinto que me calo e medito sobre o nada.

Clarice Lispector

I try

Começo a conhecer-me. Não existo. Sou o intervalo entre o que desejo ser e os outros me fizeram, ou metade desse intervalo, porque também há vida... Sou isso, enfim... Apague a luz, feche a porta e deixe de ter barulhos de chinelos no corredor. Fique eu no quarto só com o grande sossego de mim mesmo. É um universo barato.

Álvaro de Campos

I play it off but I'm dreaming of you
I'll keep my cool but I'm feinding

The Sycamore Tree

The Sycamore tree created a clear line of vision for Zacheus. It helped him to rise above the crowd and see the Lord clearly. It placed him in the right position for the invitation that would follow. Jesus told him to come down for he was coming to his house! Imagine the thrill. For us, the Sycamore tree is a symbol of that place in our own lives which enables us to have a clear vision of Jesus.

Taking no chances

I am a part of it. No,
I am the total but there
is also a possibility
that I am only a fraction
of it.

I am that which begins
but has no beginning.
I am also full of shit
right up to my ears.

"Your Catfish Friend"

If I were to live my life
in catfish forms
in scaffolds of skin and whiskers
at the bottom of a pond
and you were to come by
one evening
when the moon was shining
down into my dark home
and stand there at the edge
of my affection
and think, "It's beautiful
here by this pond. I wish
somebody loved me,"
I'd love you and be your catfish
friend and drive such lonely
thoughts from your mind
and suddenly you would be
at peace,
and ask yourself, "I wonder
if there are any catfish
in this pond? It seems like
a perfect place for them."

and eat it.

and sleep there.

until you arrive at the silence of yourself,
and listen to it.
