O arquiteto

Aqueles sonhos distantes...queria ter conhecido esse senhorzinho, mago das linhas e formas...
(O texto nao poderia ter vindo mais a calhar...)

"Nao e o angulo reto que me atrai, nem a linha reta, dura, inflexivel criada pelo homem. O que me atrai e a curva livre e sensual. A curva que encontro nas montanhas do meu pais, no curso sinuoso dos seus rios, nas nuvens do ceu, no corpo da mulher amada. De curvas e feito todo o universo, o universo curvo de Einstein"
Oscar Niemeyer

Nada como uma caminhada na praia num fim de tarde qualquer...difícil ficar sem isso...saudades já...

Quando eu passo na Av. São João

Love grafitti! Specially the ones that take you by surprise in the horrid traffic in São Paulo after a 11 hours flight and a Guarulhos "nightmare" airport...

Back in time

Early this year I shared a post about going back to my family's farm house, seeing my horse again and how special it felt.
But that was just a lunch, very quick thing...
This weekend we went back there and I had the chance to literally go back in time, spend time like in the old days: walks, cooking, chatting, reading, resting, listening to the birds, to Beatles and Elvis...pure relaxation, nature...the kind of energy that comes from doing things you like to a point you feel it in your pores, in your breath, in your soul...

I found my first doll again, couldn't believe it!!!
I saw my dad doing something I've never seen before!!!
I ate this I've never eaten before!!!
I thought about things that I've never thought before...and I came to some conclusions and decisions about my life...

So, the balance for the weekend was very positive, and it reinforced something I always believed and felt: everyone needs to feel rooted, to feel that he/she belongs somewhere, it doesn't matter how often you go to that place...The sense of belonging, of being taken care of it what makes people strong, brings them resilience to face the though times...
A weekend that goes straight into my "collection of beautiful memories"...


Have a nice week!

My first skate! Yes, I love skating...
That, later has became roller brading, but the one with 4 wheels!

My first doll layette

The suitcase...

When I opened it, there she was! Great feeling!
I remember the exact day when I got this! I could almost have that same feeling once again.

Very complete don't you think?
