Death is not the end

"When you're sad and when you're lonely

And you haven't got a friend

Just remember that death is not the end

And all that you held sacred

Falls down and does not mend

Just remember that death is not the end

Not the end, not the end

Just remember that death is not the end

When you're standing on the crossroads

That you cannot comprehend

Just remember that death is not the end

And all your dreams have vanished

And you don't know what's up the bend

Just remember that death is not the end

Not the end, not the end

Just remember that death is not the end

When the storm clouds gather round you

And heavy rains descend

Just remember that death is not the end

And there's no-one there to comfort you

With a helping hand to lend

Just remember that death is not the end

Not the end, not the end

Just remember that death is not the end

For the tree of life is growing

Where the spirit never dies

And the bright light of salvation

Up in dark and empty skies

When the cities are on fire

With the burning flesh of men

Just remember that death is not the end

When you search in vain to find

Some law-abiding citizen

Just remember that death is not the end

Not the end, not the end

Just remember that death is not the end

Not the end, not the end

Just remember that death is not the end"

In praise of the vulnerable man

Vulnerabilidade,

Circunstância humana a que todos nós estamos cientes de a encontrar.

A cada esquina, uma lufada de ações esperam,

Cada uma delas com as suas características,

Cada uma delas únicas, mesmo que por vezes tão semelhantes.

E nelas, por vezes, se não em todas, se esconde a vulnerabilidade de cada um de nós.

Somos vulneráveis, mesmo que a Vida nos tenha tornado fortes.

Nunca seremos rochas, pois sentimos a cada momento.

Mesmo na loucura de desejarmos ser frios,

Temos sempre o calor da Vida,

Réstia da poeira do Universo,

Sopro da energia cósmica.

E nela somos fortes,

E nela somos também, vulneráveis!

Sensações, sentimentos, sonhos, pesadelos,

Tudo em nós e nós em tudo!

2016
The New Year has just begun!
Another year, another empty page ready to be filled...
We always hope of something new;
We always say new things to do, to become, to feel...
And in the end of each year what do we have?
No, it's not what you might think.
If we look inside ourselves,
If we take a minute to just try and find what's inside of us,
We have achieved great things each year
We have felt new feelings, even though might they be good or not so good,
We lived different situations,
We thought in different ways,
We achieved some goals, even though they might not be all we wanted.
Small things make us big, never forget that!
And so, this new year, my thoughts:
Let myself live, believe and be!
Hope the unniverse can offer me and all of us new moments,
Moments that can make us FEEL ALIVE!
