Brisa Branca

Na neve escorrega a leve lágrima da branda lebre.

Frescor da bruma da manhã,

Chá ligeiro!

Para a Júlia e a Natália...

Heart Of Gold

The Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA.

If you look right at the picture above, you'll find that the sulfurous water is shaped like a heart, a heart of gold. I wish that just the contemplation of its marvelous pattern of colours could lead your heart to blossom in a full path of gold, and that you could show this to other persons and say how much your eyes got clear today through this gift of nature's powers...

To Paula and all you people out there...

The Greatness Of Good

(1505 c.) Rafael, "São Miguel e o Dragão", Óleo sobre Madeira, 31x27 cm, Louvre.

For those who suffer, the bold and calm, equilibrated and balanced, but nonetheless powerful and brave, gesture of the angel can serve as an uplifting consolation, for only a being thus conceived in greatness can truly express a gentleness in the heart that can lead to a genuine peace of mind and a complete release from evil...

For a great friend...
