PARABENS LULY! PARABENS GONCALO! (pelo dia 30)

(pelo dia 30)

Poemas de Pessoa 5

Abat-Jour

A lâmpada acesa
(Outrem a acendeu)
Baixa uma beleza

Sobre o chão que é meu.
No quarto deserto
Salvo o meu sonhar,
Faz no chão incerto
Um círculo a ondear.

E entre a sombra e a luz
Que oscila no chão
Meu sonho conduz
Minha inatenção.

Bem sei ... Era dia
E longe de aqui...
Quanto me sorria
O que nunca vi!

E no quarto silente
Com a luz a ondear
Deixei vagamente
Até de sonhar...

Simple and straight to the point!

Sou Feliz só por preguiça. A infelicidade dá uma trabalheira pior que doença: é preciso entrar e sair dela, afastar os que nos querem consolar, aceitar pêsames por uma porção da alma que nem chegou a falecer.
Mar me quer - Mia Couto

it doesn't get much better than this...

Research Quotes XV

So death, the most terrifying of ills, is nothing to us, since so long as we exist, death is not with us; but when death comes, then we do not exist. It does not then concern either the living or the dead, since for the former it is not, and the latter are no more.

Epicurus, Letter to Menoeceus

Hoje preciso repetir esta frase... várias vezes!

"PARA SER GRANDE, sê inteiro: nada Teu exagera ou exclui. Sê todo em cada coisa. Põe quanto és No mínimo que fazes. Assim em cada lago a lua toda Brilha, porque alta vive." Ricardo Reis
