Procurar...

"O homem é um ser que procura. O que caracteriza o ser humano é a necessidade de procurar e procurar por distintos caminhos, que podem ser contraditórios. Não sabemos se encontramos e não sabemos se o que encontrámos é alguma vez o que estávamos procurando, ou se não há mais o que procurar depois de haver encontrado algo. Portanto, somos seres de procura."

José Saramago

what the soul is after...

Perfect love is to feeling what perfect white is to color. Many think that white is the absence of color. It is not. It is the inclusion of all color. White is every other color that exists, combined.

So, too, is love not the absence of an emotion (hatred, anger, lust, jealousy, covetousness), but the summation of all feeling. It is the sum total. The aggregate amount.

The everything.

Conversations With God, Book 1 (Page 83), Neale Donald Walsch

ten things you can do right now... nr. 2

2. Now write down, without thinking too much or editing yourself — just "off the top of your heart" — ten things you would say are sacred to you.




Today my list is: friendship; all you who are reading this; justice; cats; the first roses of summer; all religions; wise elders everywhere who share their wisdom tenderly and tactfully; India; my brave and wild mother; and the voice of Maria Callas, which has guided me for 40 years into my own truest passion.







What is your list? You will find that just by writing it down you will start to be inspired by your deepest values, beliefs, and sources of emboldening joy.

ten things you can do right now... nr. 1

Let me offer you ten things you can do right now, or within the next 24 hours, to start to align yourself with the power and hope of Sacred Activism.

The first six will invite you into deep, nourishing connection with your spirit; the last four will help you express the compassion and joy this connection awakens in you in action.

1. Write down one thing that has made you feel grateful to be alive today.

It could be something as simple as the taste of the bagel you had for breakfast or the sight of squirrels gamboling in the snow in the park.

Get a small notebook and make the commitment to continue writing down one thing every day that lights you up with joy.

At the end of the month, sit down and read the list out loud, slowly, to yourself. You will discover that it reminds you how blessed you are just by being alive in a world full of ordinary wonders. You will discover, too, that it awakens in you a passion for life and a hunger to protect and preserve it.

no último dia de setembro, um pensamento grandioso...

É muito melhor arriscar coisas grandiosas, alcançar triunfos e glórias, mesmo expondo-se a derrota, do que formar fila com os pobres de espírito que nem gozam muito nem sofrem muito, porque vivem nessa penumbra cinzenta que não conhece vitória nem derrota.

Theodore Roosevelt

Pensamento do dia

A felicidade é uma decisão diária.

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...

....that your thoughts create your reality. Your mind is more powerful than you know.

Are you worried about something right now? Are you feeling unsure about something these days? God invites you to change your thinking. Miracles seldom occur in the lives of those who do not consider them possible.

There could be a miracle waiting for you this minute.
Please make room for it in your thinking.

Know that you can change what you see. You don't have to be trapped by it.

Nothing has to remain the way it is, and nothing is the way it is forever unless and until you say so.

You really are in charge of your day-to-day experience. Really.

You know exactly why you received this message today.
