within you without you.

we were talking about the space between us all
and the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
never glimpse the truth then it's far too late when they pass away.
we were talking about the love we all could share-when we find it
to try our best to hold it there with our love
with our love we could save the world if they only knew.
try to realize it's all within yourself
no-one else can make you change
and to see you're really only very small,
and life flows ON within you and without you.
we were talking about the love that's gone so cold and the people,
who gain the world and lose their soul
they don't know they can't see... are you one of them?
when you've seen beyond yourself then you may find, peace of mind,
is waiting there and the time will come when you see
we're all one, and life flows on within you and without you.

João, em sua juventude, foi internado pela família em um manicômio. Considerado louco, o compositor estava, certo dia, olhando pela janela de seu quarto quando uma enfermeira entrou e perguntou o que estava fazendo. João respondeu que estava "olhando o vento descabelar as árvores". A enfermeira o interpelou, talvez no afã de mostrar lucidez, alegando que árvores não possuem cabelos. João, meio desanimado, respondeu: "E tem gente que não tem poesia".

A Red Red Rose

O my Luve's like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June;
O my Luve's like the melodie
That's sweetly played in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry:

Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun;
I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o' life shall run.

And fare thee weel, my only Luve,
And fare thee weel awhile!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho' it ware ten thousand mile.

Robert Burns

about attitude.

Attitude is more important than facts.
It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than success, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company, a home, a relationship. It will get two people close, or it will definitely tear them apart. The remarkable thing is we have a choice, every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for the day. We cannot change the fact that other people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. We have to try.

630

"Uma morena de verde sentada no banco à minha frente
O vento frio resvala nela e chega em mim
Eu sinto seu cheiro
Sabonete
Ela cheira incrivelmente bem
Quando entrou, fiquei hipnotizado por seus olhos grandes
Lápis de olho
Mas agora só me resta o cheiro
Melhor que nada."

racionalismo.

“Os termos bom e mau nada indicam de positivo, considerados em si mesmos. Porque uma coisa pode ser ao mesmo tempo boa, má ou indiferente. A música, por exemplo, é boa para os melancólicos, má para os de pouco sentimento e indiferente para os mortos.”

Spinoza

street poet

Daydream delusion, limousine eyelash
Oh baby with your pretty face, drop a tear in my wineglass

Look at those big eyes, see what you mean to me
Sweet-cakes and milkshakes
I’m a delusion angel, I’m a fantasy parade
I want you to know what I think, don’t want you to guess anymore
You have no idea where I came from, we have no idea where we’re going
Lodged in life, like branches in a river
Flowing downstream, caught in the current
I carry you, you’ll carry me
That’s how it could be, don’t you know me?
Don’t you know me by now?

Before Sunrise
