Para muitos no mundo, hoje é dia de alegria.
Para muitos, hoje é um dia cinzento, trabalharam, cumpriram o seu dever e o que esperavam deles, satisfizeram as necessidades básicas, compensaram-se com algo exterior que lhes entupisse os cinco sentidos, morreu-se-lhes mais um dia da vida que têm, sem sequer se aperceberem dessa realidade, diminuiram mais um dia e uma oportunidade de fazer dela a sua liberdade.
Para outros tantos, é um dia triste, de sombras, medos, depressões, raivas, ansiedades, verdadeiros geradores de ruido interno e confusão.
Para muitos, é um dia negro destituido de sentido, de grandes perdas, dor, incredulidade e sofrimento.
O mundo move-se entre a luz, a escuridão e a ponte de meios tons que liga os opostos.
Para muitos, os dias são passados entre o dia e a noite, num sombreado que lhes argueira a vista e lhes mata uma realidade de ampulheta exacta, que não se compadece com os seus desejos, passados ou futuros.
De quando em vez e a jeito de experiência, somos levados ao extremo de cada oposição - também isso é natural e faz parte da vida.
O mundo é uma grande barriga onde tudo cabe e é digerido de maneira inteligentemente utilitária ao presente e ao futuro, fabricando novos compostos e futuras peças.
Lembro-me de uma frase de um texto do amado mestre São Francisco:
"És aquilo que andas à procura."
Acrescentaria:
E o que pensares e criares, dará fruto e exemplo durante infinitos e multidimensões!
No one can take away from us what has always been ours and will always be.
Recognize your Divine Power and integrate every thought, every step, every action into the center of your Divine Matrix.
Be the monad of your Creative Source in this dimension so that all units of your Divine Essence materialize your Divine Creative Power in all Dimensions.
"I'm not in this world to live up to anyone's expectations, nor do I think the world should live up to mine"
Fritz Pearls, psychoanalyst
These are paths that we make ourselves and alone, not wasting time with what belongs to others and that we have not traced for our purpose in life. By abandoning the masks, we pay platinum interest for freedom acquired.
"Eu não estou neste mundo para viver correspondendo às expectativas de ninguém, nem acho que o mundo deva corresponder às minhas"
Fritz Pearls, psicanalista
São caminhos que fazemos em nós e a sós, não perdendo tempo com o que é dos outros e que não traçámos para o nosso propósito de vida. Ao abandonarmos as máscaras pagamos juros de platina a liberdade liberdade adquirida. @pms paula maria salgado
“Sufi é aquele que está morto para o Si mesmo e vive da Verdade. Tendo transcendido as limitações humanas, Sufi é aquele que alcançou Deus “ - A. Hujwiri, 1936
“Eu morri como um mineral, uma pedra, e me tornei uma planta
Eu morri como planta e renasci animal
Eu morri como um animal e depois eu era um Homem
E muitas vezes eu morri e vivi como homem
Por quê eu deveria temer me perder na morte?
Todas as vidas passam, até mesmo a vida dos Anjos
Somente Deus é imperecível
Quando deixei de ser uma alma angelical
Eu passei a Ser algo que a mente nem pode conceber
If we love beauty, love, perfection, the magnificent wonder that amazes us in the All of the Whole, it is because we are that emitting genesis that is renewed and recreated in eternal impermanence.
We are the beauty we love!
Se amamos o belo, o amor, a perfeição, a magnificente maravilha que nos espanta no tudo do Todo, é porque somos essa génese emissora que se renova e recria em eterna impermanência.

The action of the new thinkers and chagemakers is now urgent.
During the global pandemic crisis of 2020, consciences are increasingly emerging in several countries, following the example of the richest countries, mainly in the area of Social Impact Economy and Green Footprint.
Areas within ecological sustainability, such as Jurisdiction, Agriculture and Food Production, Clean and Recyclable Energy, Innovation and Technology, Science Research, Culture and Education for Leadership, Construction and Architecture, Engineering and Industry are the main areas of work and employment for next 50 years.
By shifting the focus of socia innovation from actions to the thinking behind those actions, social sector leaders create a better world - a world different than the past.
As people in the social change arena are feeling called to step into this moment, many are wondering: How do we move forward? How can we create a future significantly different from our past?
A Framework for Creating the Future We Want
“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” - Buckminster Fuller
I like the architecture and design of doors and gates.
Sometimes I find myself photographing them and later in an exercise of imagination, painting them again, framing them in a renovated space, painting them again, to receive a new family and inhabitants, doors with bright colors or arts. Doors tell so many stories ... they are the business cards of the people who live there.
The "doors" of our life pass, signify new challenges through unknown territory, adventures and tests, initiations for those who dare to open them.
Home doors, mean the arrival or departure of those who give life to the home, mean guarding, closing, protecting, warming and welcoming.
Doors can add hope or bitterness, fears or joys, the future and the past that pass through them ...
Doors are always unknown, beautiful or aged by time, they are like those who live in them and who one day go out through them not to return.
Have you noticed how doors and gates tell us so many things and differ from each other?
How are the doors of your house, your body and your soul?

Gosto da arquitetura e do design de portas e portões.
Por vezes dou comigo a fotografa-las e posteriormente num exercicio de imaginacao, pintando-as de novo, enquadrando-as num espaço renovado, pintando-as de novo, para receberem uma nova familia e habitantes, portas com cores vivas ou artes. Portas contam tantas estórias... são os cartões de visita das pessoas que ali habitam.
As "portas" de passagem da nossa vida, significam novos desafios por território desconhecido, aventuras e testes, iniciações a quem as ousa abrir.
Portas de casa, significam a chegada ou a partida daqueles que dão vida à morada, significam o guardar, o fechar, o proteger, o aquecer e acolhimento.
Portas podem agregar esperança ou amargura, medos ou alegrias, o futuro e o passado que por elas passam...
Portas são sempre incógnitas, belas ou envelhecidas pelo tempo, são como aqueles que nelas moram e que um dia por elas saem para não voltarem.
Já repararam como portas e portões nos dizem tantas coisas e se diferenciam entre si?
Como são e estão as portas da sua casa, do seu corpo e da sua alma?
Just as a home is more than its walls and windows, cohousing
homes are more than standard condos. To the people who create, join and live
cohousing communities, they join an active and involved community of neighbors
who know and care about each other and together live more consciously of one
another and the earth. Cohousing has grown over the past 25 years to over 160
communities nationwide and the communities range from urban, suburban, or
rural; new construction or repurposed; senior-specific or intergenerational.
Successful communities generally share 5 key characteristics that may tempt you
to consider a cohousing community for your next move.
1. FOCUS ON SUSTAINABILTY
A core value of cohousing is environmental sustainability.
This is reflected in preserved open space, in utilizing green building
materials and techniques, minimizing the intrusion of cars, and the prevalence
of community renewable energy systems. The sense of community created in these
neighborhoods is the secret ingredient of sustainability, enabling people to
have a collective impact, being good stewards together with their neighbors.
Such a lively neighborhood means residents can socialize close to home, and
parents can reduce the endless back-and-forth of shuttling their kids to
playdates.
2. FACES NOT FENCES
3) OWNER-DEVELOPERS
Cohousing communities are recognized by certain design
features, layered over a strong social fabric. A big benefit of cohousing stems
from the sharing culture bolstered by generous common amenities. Cohousing
features a common house (the heart of the community, with a large kitchen,
dining area, guest rooms and more), and perhaps a shared garden, workshop, yoga
room, pool or kids room. Communities are generally 20-40 homes, designed and
self-managed by residents. The result is people-focused, with cars kept on the
periphery and buildings grouped to leave green space for all to enjoy.
Financing is undertaken by the future residents, who act as
"owner-developers" and provide the capital to fund the design costs
and property purchase. Yet there’s nothing to fear when it comes to acquiring
loans; in fact, Fannie Mae has language in its FAQ’s specifying that cohousing
homes qualify for loans just as any other condominium development would. The
project is built by means of a bank construction loan, paid off as individual
residents obtain mortgages. Since residents buy-in to their neighborhood early
on, turnover tends to be low.
4) TRUE NEIGHBORLINESS
Ever been ready to bake a cake and realized you're one stick
of butter short, meaning a 20-minute drive to the store? In cohousing, your
neighbor will probably have both butter and some baking advice. Cohousing is
carefully designed to create a socially rich and interconnected community, a
true "neighborhood" in the old-fashioned sense of the word. However,
residents do not have a shared economy or a common set of beliefs. Individual
homes have all the traditional amenities including private kitchens, yet most
communities are proud to offer resident-cooked dinner rotations in the common
house several times a week.
5) SAFE AND SECURE
"Eyes on the Street" are the best security system
you can have. Living in a community where everyone is a familiar face provides
an extra layer of safety. Children can run freely and knock on their playmates’
doors, gaining a unique level of independence and trust with neighbors. Even in
large cities, cohousing experiences little crime and offers safe and supportive
living."

We can.
We will.
End of the story!
If each one fulfills daily an action that contributes to the sustainability of the planet the future will tell the story of a new civilization. @pms,#thoughts and #reflections
It's time for each human begin to makeup for It is time for each human being to roll up their sleeves and contribute in each moment with actions of conscious supremacy creating the recycling of the old destructive paradigms for the construction of the sustainability and balance of the species in this beloved Planet!
"In order to receive everything, it is necessary to open hands and give."
Taisen Deshimaru Roshi, Master Zen art, Japanese (1914-1984)
I think this is the essential secret of all nature - a gift!
Let us have an excellent day wisely taking advantage of every moment that is provided to us.
