Valentine

(softpastel on dark blue paper, 55x40 cm)

"Cresce a noite pelas ruas de Lisboa
E os meninos como eu foram dormir
Só eu fico com o sonho que já voa
Nesta estranha minha forma de sentir

Deixo o quarto com passinhos de menina
Num silêncio que respeita o mais sagrado
Quando o brilho dos meus olhos na cortina
Se deleitam ao ouvir cantar o fado

Meu amor, vai-te deitar, já é tarde
Diz meu pai sempre que vem perto de mim
Nesse misto de orgulho e de saudade
De quem sente um novo amor no meu jardim

E adormeço nos seus braços de guitarra
Doce embalo que renasce a cada dia
Esse sonho de cantar a madrugada
Que foi berço num tasco da Mouraria"

How are You?

[Masaru Emoto]
[Emoto interview]

"No one particular religion has been able to secure the exclusive rights for the power of prayer. No matter who you are, we all have the ability to take advantage of this amazing and wonderful power. Once you realize this, you will then be filled with the desire to help others realize this as well. More and more people are resonating... with this understanding, and this could result in a more wonderful future for mankind."

~ Masaru Emoto (The Secret Life of Water)

Happy Brand New 2011, everybody!

Me, welcoming the new year with champagne and in excellent company at the market square of Jakobstad, Finland.

Here we go, friend or foe - HAPPY NEW YEAR! I wish You joy and prosperity regarding all areas of Your life, but most of all I wish You LOVE - in whatever form it may appear!
