changes

In fact, it doesn't happen fast, over night.

A personal transformation is a shifting, occurs day by day. Improvements, ok, they can come more easily.

Sometimes, to start a revolution, it's just necessary move, move on.

The most difficult is decide it, though. To quit and begin again.

Recommence demands brawn and cogency.

I'm happy I did that. Fortunately.

Getting one year older, I realize I'm calmer. 

That's good, makes me chuffed. Not lazy, by no means.

 

rien de rien

Non ! Rien de rien
Non ! Je ne regrette rien
Ni le bien qu'on m'a fait
Ni le mal tout ça m'est bien égal !

Non ! Rien de rien
Non ! Je ne regrette rien
C'est payé, balayé, oublié
Je me fous du passé !

Avec mes souvenirs
J'ai allumé le feu
Mes chagrins, mes plaisirs
Je n'ai plus besoin d'eux !

Balayées les amours
Et tous leurs trémolos
Balayés pour toujours
Je repars à zéro

Non ! Rien de rien
Non ! Je ne regrette rien
Ni le bien, qu'on m'a fait
Ni le mal, tout ça m'est bien égal !

Non ! Rien de rien
Non ! Je ne regrette rien
Car ma vie, car mes joies
Aujourd'hui, ça commence avec toi !

Cette parole exprime très bien mes réflexions de fin de l'année. Les transformations passées, tout le changement, une reprise de vie, mon avenir ainsi... en couple dorénavant, à l'étranger.

Mais oui, c'est en français que mon histoire est racontée maintenant!

Écoutez cette belle chanson interprété par Edith Piaf.

a gift

It is fairly certain this!

I would like to be one... a model.

On the top of thank all them who transform me (at different levels) in the person I am, not a ordinary one. I became a better me because of them, their lessons I followed.

In the same way, I would like to show people another window of life. Apart from helping them to identify the landscape they see, of course.

Happy Teacher's Day for all!

my contribution

 

I haven't had kid or adopted one yet, or even planted a tree. Nevertheless, nowadays, in my current situation, in my limited universe (but, at the same time wide due to the knowledge), I can help children by reading.

Thus, I finish this post with a Mário Quintana (my favorite poet) quote, which resumes the issue:

“Books don’t change the world. People change the world. Books only change people.”  
  
The secret for a better world, and future.

love transforms!

A frog to a prince, a skeleton to a rose (healthy) person.

What a difference! Further: what a power of changing! 

Stronger than love, only the determination for it, for good.

Pull somebody out of the gutter its not possible when it isn't a personal will, a wishing one. Others just help.

Certain: true/self love =  welfare!

another me

Actually the SAME, but improved.

At least, I think so…  once my new version is more versatile, light, opened for new experiences, and ready for any change (or rather… any challenge!). 

And how much I’ve changed…! Getting some advantage to be in Canadá, right now, for example, I just ate bread with chicken and Dijon Mustard, which is finger-licking good. What????? It is exactly what you read: m-u-s-t-a-r-d (I like it, since it is Dijon - only that!). Haven’t I said I am another one? Well, it’s true!

Good reasons to celebrate(!), some beyond my control, besides the personal ones…. The fact is that I decided to stop with soft drinks and other fat stuffs. Furthermore, from now, I’m avoiding mayonnaise (even still loving it) in order to feed myself in a healthier way - by the way… in many respects! 

Let’s wait for the next season to see other natural transformations…

dona baratinha

Linda noite, duas pessoas... Esse poderia ser o mais corriqueiro dos encontros, se não fosse sua missão: capturar uma cockroach (aliás, uma cucaracha – considerando ter sido o Matias da loja homônima que nos apresentou). Inacreditavelmente, o papo, na verdade, o elo todo estava nessa que, para alguns, é a mais repugnante das criaturas. Mas não por isso o interesse e sua criação, e sim pela transformação que essa sofre enquanto objeto de arte.

Intervenção urbana pura. À procura da baratinha perfeita! Spray, cor e está pronta para seu destino: as mãos de alguém. Louco isso? Sim. É a ideia de um jovem artista plástico que pretende causar uma subversão e questionamento de valores quando douradinha a roach. Nem tudo que reluz é ouro, mas o inseto 'Highlander' é quase igualmente durável como o metal. Já pensou ter um bichinho expressionante desses de estimação?! (‘baratinha’ literalmente, uma vez que a “obra” já foi vendida a R$1 em sinais, ou é enviada gratuitamente a “sortudos” escolhidos a dedo). Reação de estranhamento, curiosidade, encanto ou repulsa até, enquanto nas ruas, normalmente, é somente negativa – desprezo, aversão, nojo e ódio.

Para conferir o trabalho de Fernando de La Rocque, basta visitar o blog dele, ou, a partir do próximo dia oito de julho, visitar sua exposição no espaço Sérgio Porto, no Humaitá, aqui no Rio de Janeiro.
