Reason



“Reason is like an open secret that can become known to anyone at any time; it is the quiet space into which everyone can enter through his own thought”
Karl Jaspers

"Só alcançamos a verdade do nosso pensamento quando incansávelmente nos esforçamos por pensar colocando-nos no lugar de qualquer outro.É preciso conhecer o que é possível ao homem.Se tentamos pensar sériamente aquilo que outrem pensou aumentamos as possibilidades da nossa própria verdade, mesmo que nos recusemos a esse outro pensamento.Só ousando integrar-nos totalmente nele o podemos conhecer.O mais remoto e estranho,o mais excessivo e excepcional,mesmo o aberrativo,incitam-nos a não passar ao largo da verdade por omissão de algo de original, por cegueira ou por lapso."
Karl Jaspers in "Iniciação Filosófica"
(dádiva de um amigo desconhecido)

Dancers




Saw a cat jump today -
he measured the distance to cover, taking his time
then jumped with ease, stopped in midair and softly landed,
where he intended to.
Perfect balance.

Everything, everyone has its balance
You shouldn’t mess up, with anything or anyone’s
Balance.
You never know what will happen next.

over the clouds




Woods people

I love trees and moss,
to walk the silent woods, looking for the geometry of everything.
It's like being away, feeling home neverthless.

I do miss people and its works,
Blood veins, flesh and skin
Wonders of the heart, inflamable souls. Minds bigger than woods.
