Smudged past



Sometimes, you look back, in the rear view mirror of your life, and everything looks foggy... It's as if rain has washed over it, and left smudges of ink all over your past...

Praying for happiness

santinha



I should probably pray... But I'm not even sure if anyone would hear... I just need the serenity of knowing that things will change... That happiness is possible, in an unhappy world.

Rio Tâmega



Numa tarde quente de verão, da vontade de entrar rio a dentro e mergulhar...

Look up


I look up,
I try to see your face...
The face I lost so long ago,
The face that once loved me.

I look up,
And realize
You're not there,
You left long ago.

I look up, now... but,
Maybe one day,
I'll stop looking up,
I'll stop searching for you.

Love




Love can be found in the little everyday things...

Straight line

 Life is a straight line, with a couple of obstacles in the way...

Growing in rocks



























Luke 8: 5"A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds of the air ate it up. 6Some fell on rock, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture. 7Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the plants. 8Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown"

This photo was taken in the Sanctuary of St. Caetano, in Chaves, Portugal.  As you can see, plants are growing out of the rock...  I have hope that even if I throw my words to the hardest people, they might someday listen...

Flames





Life is like a candle that burns little by little, until finally its flame extinguishes...

Bright sky





There is now,
 The light of your eyes,
That brightens my sky. 
And the dream of being
Forever in your arms.

The lonely or remarkable



Don't feel all alone, in the middle of the green... Better think that you are the remarkable flower, that bursts out of the scene.

I see the light
























I don't want to stay in the darkness! I want to jump out into the light!

Open Road


There's nothing like an open road... and better yet, a place where to go...

Spring flowers

It's hard to walk by Spring flowers and not look in wonder...  Even if you suffer from Spring allergies, you must take a look at the beauty that they bring every year... at least once.  And if you really can't be near them, I leave you with these two photos I took this weekend.

Thoughts

 

Thoughts

As I sit here, 
Fiddling with my hair,
I think of you... 
Such a warm memory
Of a summer day, 
Without clouds, 
Without rain.

Chaves




 Chaves

Cidade quente, nas
Horas de
Amar...
Vem, Paixão
Este é o nosso lugar
Sempre que eu sonhar.
