A wonder

“The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quite alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As longs as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles.”

Nesta vida,

pode-se aprender três coisas de uma criança:

estar sempre alegre,

nunca ficar inativo

e chorar com força por tudo o que se quer.

Just gratitude / Apenas gratidão

“Let gratitude be the pillow upon which you kneel to say your nightly prayer. And let faith be the bridge you build to overcome evil and welcome good.”

Take a Word

We don't have Thanksgiving Day here but I'd like share this song from a Brazilian band called O Teatro Mágico which has incredible lyrics:it says:"my paradise is where I am". I think this the concept of gratitude: if you are truly grateful, paradise is everywhere.

Together

They say that shadows of deceased ghosts
Will haunt the houses and the graves about
Of such whose life's lamp went untimely out,
Delighting still in their forsaken hosts.

Where your story begins

“But there's a story behind everything. How a picture got on a wall. How a scar got on your face. Sometimes the stories are simple, and sometimes they are hard and heartbreaking. But behind all your stories is always your mother's story, because hers is where yours begin.”

Just a flapper

“They were smart and sophisticated, with an air of independence about them, and so casual about their looks and clothes and manners as to be almost slapdash. I don't know if I realized as soon as I began seeing them that they represented the wave of the future, but I do know I was drawn to them. I shared their restlessness, understood their determination to free themselves of the Victorian shackles of the pre-World War I era and find out for themselves what life was all about.”

The bee and the flowers

 “There is one masterpiece, the hexagonal cell, that touches perfection. 

No living creature, not even man, has achieved, in the centre of his sphere, what the bee has achieved in her own: and were some one from another world to descend and ask of the earth the most perfect creation of the logic of life, we should needs have to offer the humble comb of honey.”

- Maurice Maeterlinck

They can see sweetness

“To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee,
One clover, and a bee,
And revery.
The revery alone will do,
If bees are few.”

Pink Winter

“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says "Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.”
