hey, carlo!!!

First, let me tell you I´m so sorry for not greeting you on the right day! But, it is true i think, that we are born a bit each day! As we learn, as we meet people, as we teach, as we cry, as we love, as we blog!!!

Anyway, what i mean is… enjoy each day as it were your birthday. November 27 was the day God allowed you to be here on earth with us. And everyday, I´m sure you reply to God´s gentleness very well!!

Congratulations, carlo!!!
Have fun! Give fun!
Love..
Shy/Lotus/Jane/Rachel…who else?

Changing…

I´m not alone….We are closer than ever…And I can´t describe the happiness and the love that I feel. But I´m learning to show it through the things I do. So, it means there are wonderful things coming up. and I will be glad to show them to you all. I think I cant take this feeling alone…Bliss!  How much love can I put in my heart? Can I measure it? Won´t wonder this time. He inspires me to act, not to wonder…And I´m moving, acting, creating, flying, loving…HHmm..

Building Castles

There was once on a summer day, I was on the beach with a friend, odserving two kids playing on the sand. They were working hard building a castle with high towers, and inner rooms.

When they were almost done, there came a wave and destroyed everything they had built. We thought they would just start crying after so much effort for nothing.

Instead of crying, they ran holding hands and smiling along the beach.  Far from the water they started building another castle.  I know now I have learned some good lesson;

We waste too much time of our lives building something, and sooner or later, any wave can come and destroy everything. But when it happens ( If it happens..) those who have any hand to hold are able to smile. The only things that rest is love, friendship and tenderness. The rest is just sand.

When image says all…

Let me introduce you. Xanga, nice site. Nice site, these are my friends….

You and me

You there, me here.

You working, me sleeping.

Me having lunch, you having diner.

Me walking in the windless city, you roaming in your thoughts and dreams..

You in pain, me awake in the middle of the night.

Me in pain, you call.

You there with your perfect language skills, me trying to find words to impress you. Even in wrong English…

Me making you watch movies, you making me read books.

You listening to new songs, me renting old films.

Me broadcasting my love for you, you hiding your blogs to protect me. us?

Me shouting to God, you praying in silence.

You in the winter, me in the summer.

Me in the South, you in the North…

You writing great blogs,

Me just playing…

You standing, me flying..

Me Jane, you my hero.

You love me

I love you

Another holiday…

I know now why I find it so hard to have some fun in São
Paulo during a holiday. For the past 10 years I have
managed to ‘escape’ from here in every opportunity. 
Surely that was long before going to College and having
my own house. I have to mention now that, the city
becomes amazingly pleasant when empty. I find it fun to
be in here now.. at last!

There was another holiday yesterday. On November 2nd,
people go to churches and cemeteries to light candles
for their deceased beloved ones. I must confess I
preferred to pray for the ones who are still alive,
though…

Anyway, I also visited an art gallery and saw something
really interesting that I wanted to share.

Knowing the great masters of the world painting is now a
fun activity here. The cartoonist Mauricio de Souza has
idealized  a project called “História em Quadrões”. In
it, he portraits some of the most important works of the
greatest painters in humored parodies.  One of the aims
of the project is to get people, specially children,
closer to art concepts  therefore raising their interest
in it.

“This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we’re given
Use them and let’s start trying
To make it a place worth living in.”
