Quanto mais evolui a tecnologia,

mais aprecio sentir o papel entre os dedos.

Very few can endure the rigours of idleness, and for most it is best not to try. A life spent running away from oneself slips by more easily than one passed in one's own company. Wanting to be always disturbed, then, is not so obviously crazy. There is wisdom in submitting to wearisome labour and working for causes that come to nothing. Those who pursue the life of action do so (...) because the alternative - being aware of what they are - is far more disturbing.

  1. lá prescrevia o oráculo de Delfos: conhece-te a ti mesmo. Ainda não avançámos muito desde então. Nos meios, talvez. Mas não no fim.

A Minha Homenagem A.

Suddenly I look at the sky
And picture you
In a backyard or a pateo
My pateo, a firecracker memory in motion.
Your shadow on the wall
The sound of your feet against the concrete
A sweet summer smell
A sigh and a look, more like a stare.
As we meet
Our eyes, they compel to enlightenment
The way you smile
My smile
The unspeakable compelling us
How awkward and lovely.
