exupery alves



Estava eu na cozinha, comendo o último pedaço do bolo de chocolate deixado por ele, quando ouço a voz de uma jornalista do jornal nacional, anunciando uma exposição dedicada ao pequeno príncipe em são paulo. Saí correndo para ver. Enquanto recheava meus olhos por personagens-matéria que habitaram meu imáginário desde. A infância me engolia ali mesmo. Tomada pela inocência-alegre-triste da época em que, pela primeira vez, li tal obra, me engasgo. Engasgo-lágrima.
Via tudo ali. Aquele tudo remeteu-me à volta do pássaro encantado, de rubem alves, principalmente quando o fragmento “Se tu vens, por exemplo, às quatro da tarde, desde as três eu começarei a ser feliz.”, de Exupery, é pintado na tela. Engoli o bolo. E a lágrima.
A sutil simplicidade com que cada um desses autores consegue extrair beleza do invisível, do óbvio invisível, me emociona. Ambos falam de amor: no príncipe e no pássaro. E ambos falam na presença-ausência daquele que. (amo quem me toca.) Ambos tornam claro que é preciso a ausência para sabermos a intensidade da presença.
Ausência de alguém pode preencher nosso coração. Poderia parecer uma contradição: a ausência preencher. Como se fosse um furo preenchendo um buraco, ou o vazio preenchendo o nada. Mas, não se trata disso. A ausência é cheia. Ela é transbordante quando existe saudade. Essa ausência é momentos, ações, olhares, toques, palavras, sorrisos, silêncio, sentimento, é vida. Pura intensidade fica no coração daquele que tem saudade.

(vou sentir saudade de ti. se vieres no sábado à noite, começarei a ser feliz à tarde.)

spring: finally

"There's a story told of a very gentle boy
And the girl who wore his ring
Through the wintery snow
The world they knew was one
For their hearts were full of spring

As the days grew old
And the nights passed into time
And the weeks and years took wind
Gentle boy, tender girl
Their love remained still young
For their hearts were full of spring

Then one day they died
And their graves were side by side
On a hill where robins sing
And they say violets
Grow there the whole year round
For their hearts were full of spring"
(Beach Boys)

from me to you



I dim all the lights and I sink in my chair.
The smoke from my cigarette climbs through the air.
The walls of my room fade away in the blue,
And I'm deep in a dream of you.
The smoke makes a stairway for you to descend;
You come to my arms, may this bliss never end,
Awake or asleep, ev'ry mem'ry I'll keep
When I'm deep in a dream of you.
Then from the ceiling, sweet music comes stealing;
We glide through a lover's refrain, you're so appealing
That I'm soon revealing my love for you over again.
My cigarette burns me, I wake with a start;
My hand isn't hurt, but there's pain in my heart.
For we love anew just as we used to do
Deep in a dream of you.

i've just

opened my eyes and i'm here sitting and drinking a cup of a strong coffee.
I don't (can't) wake up.
My dreams inhabit my mind. They are subtle and powerful.
Invisible friends all day long...
Am i going to do anything wonderful today?
Here is my joy: inside my cup.



"Every morning when I wake up I experience an exquisite joy — the joy of being Salvador Dalí — and I ask myself in rapture, 'What wonderful things this Salvador Dalí is going to accomplish today?’"
Salvador Dalí

some planets and node

Mars is in 22 Degrees Cancer.
Your moods are very important to your overall well-being. You are confident and self-assertive when you are feeling upbeat, and you are retiring, irritable and grumpy when you get depressed about anything. Very sensitive, you wear your heart on your sleeve. You are easily angered whenever you think someone has slighted you. It is best for you to show your anger immediately and let it all out, rather than to try to hold it in or to hold grudges for a long time. You're extremely loyal and defensive of your family, neighborhood, community and culture.

Saturn is in 04 Degrees Cancer.
The most important issue for you is emotional security. You have a deep and gnawing fear that those on whom you depend for emotional support will prove to be unreliable in the long run. When you are unloved and insecure, you distrust others and tend to feel isolated and lonely. Very cool, detached and objective, you can be counted on -- in situations that are inherently stressful or full of tension -- not to lose your self- control. That is a great and welcome gift at such times.

N. Node is in 19 Degrees Sagittarius.
You will probably have many different contacts and acquaintances throughout your life. You're quite gregarious by nature and your natural curiosity about others lets you take the lead in forming new relationships. You'll form close ties with those who have similarly idealistic ideas -- especially those who can stimulate you intellectually in your chosen field of interest. Your enthusiasm for learning new things may also cause you to do quite a bit of traveling. Because you probably will have many wide-ranging interests and concerns, you most likely will have contacts and connections in various parts of the country (or world).

Mercury is in 28 Degrees Gemini.
Your mind is active, quick and agile. You are very restless and you get bored easily. Unless you receive constant mental stimulation, you become extremely nervous and begin to act in an unstable manner. You are probably a good student because of your natural inquisitiveness. You also love to travel. Your learning tends to be superficial, though, because you have a relatively short attention span. Try to develop the mental discipline to finish what you start.

música de amigo

"Sobreviver pra mim é pouco
Acho dos sonhos uma grande sacada
...
Estar feliz também é pouco
Quero uma vida bem grande e complicada"

margariDa



MargariDa has a strange appeal
...
In conversation she often contends
Costumes build customs that involve dead ends
She found her courage in a change of scene
...
All her best years spent distracted
By these tired reenactments
With the right step she'll try her chances
Somewhere else

There he is a step outside her view
Reciting the words he hoped she might pursue
Night upon night a faithful light at shore
If he'd only convince his legs across the floor

Please, don't watch me dancing
Oh no, don't watch me dancing

Something changes when she glances
Enough to teach you what romance is
With the right step they try their chances
Somewhere else
