Spring is Here

Little town between mountains

Straight to the sky

Feline Calm

Celebrate

Celebrate life everyday with fireworks!

The Mountain and I

"The birds have vanished from the sky.
Now the last cloud drains away.

We sit together, the mountain and me,
until only the mountain remains."
(Li Po, The Poetry of Zen)

Along the shade

Along the trail's edge
beside a sparkling river
in the willow shade,
I lingered to take a nap-
lingered, and I'm still here.

Fuzzy

Did you ever see you path this way? You know it's there, but you can quite tell what's at the end...

 

Nostalgia

You know something must be wrong, when the only thing keeping you from going crazy is a little café, and a Pastél de Nata. Maybe I'm in the right place... After all [even when I miss my cantinho no céu] I know there are always things "para matar a saudade"... The blogs, keep me up-to-date... the flavors keep me from forgeting. And sometimes, when the rain falls outside, I can smell the scent of wet earth... And if someone cuts the grass outside, I smell the scent of the "lameiros"...

The heart

The heart, was broken.
The heart, thought it would mend,
Soon,
But didn't...
The heart, loved,
and lost...
The heart, can't bare anymore,
Sadness.
This heart, can't live without you.

Fly

Get high in blue

In the high skies,
I want to fly.
I want to see
The blue ocean underneath,
The blue skies above...
And all I have left,
The sun ahead of me!

Happy view

I don't need much to make me happy... A cup of coffee, a ball, flip flops, the sun, the never ending ocean, the sand... and a happy group of friends... it so simple...

Tic Toc

TIC TOC... TIC TOC... TIC... TOC... TI... TO... T... T... ... ...

The clock never stops... it might seem like it goes slower... but no, it never stops... never...

Light inside

Never let the light inside you die!

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...

Blue Bird

Fly away, little bird... Fly away...

Praying for happiness

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.
