be like a lotus flower

"...like a lotus in a dirty pond, be in the world but not of it."

é um novo dia

é um novo dia,
é um novo ano,
é um novo começo,
outra oportunidade de fazermos bem
as coisas,
que acabarão feitas...bem ou mal, mal ou bem

é um novo dia.

you have done, you have had done
to you and goes beyond it

This is not what I want
but I want this also.”

Christmas sunrise

It’s always exhilarating to attend sunrise…and today I did get to live it.
After the swift subway ride I'm walking up my street, it’s the last working day before Christmas and I feel great, such a nice day, such a nice season, such a reinvigorating chilly wind…
As I walk I notice the cardboards and the blankets hidden at the corners and unused entrances of office buildings, I try to guess which locations are better to avoid the wind, which are cozier to go through the night, then again I think it’s never us, never us…or is it ?
