And so it is...

This is a bleeding heart
and an exhausted tongue laying it out there,
dripping with brutal truth and honesty.
Sometimes,
the people you hold so dearly in this life are the ones that hurt you the most.
Life is to short to keep loved ones away,
too hold grudges,
too judge someone by their looks or age…
As humans we are interesting creatures,
we are the only ones with the capacity to love someone genuinely,
the willingness to put someone before ourselves,
and the commitment it takes to truly be with someone…
But sadly we also possess an innate propensity to
betray and hurt the people most important to us,
we turn off backs on our friends,
sometimes our own family,
even our lovers…
we say things we don’t mean
and we do things we don’t mean to do.
With so much going on at times,
it’s often hard to find the right way,
the right things to say,
the right way of doing things,
but the only thing we can do to get by is seize each and every day.
We can’t keep turning our backs on what we should truly cherish in this life,
because there truly is absolutely nothing worth regretting
and certainly nothing worth going over the deep end for.
Even when we find ourselves in hell
we must breathe,
we must take the time to let the dust settle
and we must accept the events that transpire.
HOLD STILL,
no matter how bad the sting,
how hard the fall or how severe the pain,
there’s always a way and reason to carry on
In this harsh world like today,
friends and family are all you have,
they are all you can count on!
CHERISH THEM!!!

Carnaval na Escusa

Interrupção de 4 dias,
Carnaval no meio,
sabor a férias,
visita a lugares icógnitos.
Sexta-feira à noite,
crianças no carro,
música no rádio e um frio de rachar.
Excitação ao limite,
ideias,
sonhos,
risos,
partidas,
escalada
e muita tranquilidade.
Companhia à maneira,
entre amigos,
simplicidade do convívio.
Sem telemóvel,
sem internet,
com muito frio,
brincadeira e comida.
Dia dos namorados,
prendas trocadas.
Nozes à mistura e picante onde calhou.
Portalegre, Escusa e Teixinha,
lugares distantes,
deixaram a nostalgia
do tempo que se passou,
se viveu e se sentiu.
Fica a promessa,
de não dizer adeus
mas sim até breve.

Reguengo do Fetal

Um lugar com um sabor especial,
um fim de semana memoravel,
pela companhia e pela escalada,
o sol brilhou,
muito riso,
muita aventura,
muito cansaço e até um pica-pau destemido...
Temporal ou tempestade,
pelo menos vendaval durante a noite,
sempre choveu,
mas o sol brilhou e as vias secaram.
Paragem no café do chinês e as torradas de manhã,
encadeamentos merecidos e vias de meter medo.
putos reguilas e malta in love,
de beijo em beijo,
lá foram saindo vias...
Fica na memória,
um weekend notável,
Reguengo um spot com história,
e até do pica-pau vou ter saudades...
Thanks por existires.

Chamar a vida...

Não desejo que me libertes de todos os perigos,
mas apenas coragem para os enfrentar.
Não peço que a minha dor se desvaneça,
mas sabedoria para a dominar.
Não procuro aliados no campo de batalha da vida,
mas forças para mim mesma.
Não rogo,
com temor ansioso,
para ser salva,
mas por esperança para ir conquistando,
pacientemente,
a minha própria liberdade."

I believe I can fly

I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly

See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me, oh

If I can see it, then I can be it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly

Hey, 'cause I believe in me, oh

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly

Hey, if I just spread my wings
I can fly
I can fly
I can fly, hey
If I just spread my wings
I can fly
Fly-eye-eye

That I would be good

That I would be good
Even if I did nothing
That I would be good
Even if I got the thumbs down

That I would be good
If I got and stayed sick
That I would be good
Even if I gained 10 pounds

That I would be fine
Even if I went bankrupt
That I would be good
If I lost my hair and my youth

That I would be great
If I was no longer queen
That I would be grand
If I was not all knowing

That I would be loved
Even when I numb myself
That I would be good
Even when I am overwhelmed

That I would be loved
Even when I was fuming
That I would be good
Even if I was clinging

That I would be good
Even if I lost sanity
That I would be good
Whether with or without you


Alanis Morissette

The Blower's daughter

and so it is
just like you said it would be
life goes easy on me
most of the time
and so it is
the shorter story
no love no glory
no hero in her skies
i can't take my eyes off of you
and so it is
just like you said it should be
we'll both forget the breeze
most of the time
and so it is
the colder water
the blower's daughter
the pupil in denial
i can't take my eyes off of you
did I say that I loathe you?
did I say that I want to
leave it all behind?
i can't take my mind off of you
my mind'til I find somebody new

Damien Rice
