A life lived burning bright, knowing that everything matters, nothing is without consequence and everypassing moment is another chance to change your world. To live in accordance with the beating of your heart, and the shifting of the seasons, knowing the cool wind on your face, the hot sun on your skin and the bite of rain. nothing biege, nothing the same, only similar- this is a life worth living.
I guess it’s a variation on the polite anarchist theme- “We don’t need governments, we can each look to ourselves for guidance, but I’m going to look after my own backyard first,”

Cheers, love your work,

Tom

Today’s way of living ties us up, we want to be the best in everything without thinking about what we really’d like to be. Instead of looking around we should take a look inside ourselves, but it’s difficult to be “odd” nowadays.

That’s what I think and that’s why I like you Paulo. I see humanity in your writing, a kind of “search” to become a better person to yourself and to the people you can reach.

What a brilliant way to phrase it… to “die alive”. I agree completely. We rarely see people doing this but it is absolutely necessary.

“…but there is a revolution that is slowly setting up and that the press doesn’t seem to have detected it yet.”

I find this particularly true in Latin America. Wouldn’t you say the same? Perhaps the press is aware of it but unable to report it as most press is owned by the very people who would have the desire to hide this type of information.

I think the challenge is not only to “die alive” but also to overcome the super independence prided in our world these days… the notion that we must be different than others. We must learn to find the commonalities in all people. Then we can work together to find ourselves and our purpose.

Just a thought… I won’t go on and on… =)

MY LIVING WILL

Here is an email I got the other day, I laughed as it so true of lots of people , ..Blessings Tania

Last night my daughter and I were sitting in the den and I said to her,

“I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine
and fluids from a bottle to keep me alive. That would be no quality of
life at all, If that ever happens, just pull the plug.”

So she got up, unplugged the computer, and threw out my wine.

She’s such a bitch.
