LIVES BARRIERS...

"The only barriers in our lives are the limits of our beliefs!" Gregg Braden

Let us remember this when we are in front of the mirrors that show us the anguish of thoughts arising from the instilled generational domestication.

PMS

"As unicas barreiras nas nossas vidas são os limites das nossas crenças!" 

Gregg Braden

Lembremo-nos disto quando estivermos diante dos espelhos que nos mostram a angustia dos pensamentos oriundos da domesticação geracional incutida. PMS

AMOR, LOVE

Entre caminhos de sombra e de luz, aceito quem sou, puro amor!

Between paths of shadow and light, I accept who I am, pure love!

There’s a longing kept

At the bottom of our hearts

In the eyes of us all

I want to give you that hug

Laugh from exhaustion

Hear your voice

And out of one we will be a thousand hards

And out of a thousand, one sole voice

And out of a thousand, we will be prayers

We will all be together

And in that perfect reunion

Nothing can do us part

We're all one in the same

When what's needed is to love

And in that perfect reunion

Nothing can do us part

We're all one in the same

When what's needed is to love

And out of one we will be a thousand hards

And out of a thousand, one sole voice

And out of a thousand, we will be prayers

We will all be together

And so, united

We'll stand by

Looking out at the sea

The blue sky

Our Nation

Portugal

And in that perfect reunion

Nothing can do us part

We're all one in the same

When what's needed is to love

There's a longing kept

At the bottom of our hearts

In the eyes of us all

I want to give you that hug

Laugh from exhaustion

Hear your voice

I want to give you that hug

Laugh from exhaustion

Hear your voice

Lady Gaga, Bradley Cooper - Shallow «A Star Is Born»

Tell me something, girl
Are you happy in this modern world?
Or do you need more?
Is there something else you’re searching for?

I’m falling
In all the good times
I find myself longing for change
And in the bad times I fear myself

Tell me something, boy
Aren’t you tired trying to fill that void?
Or do you need more?
Ain’t it hard keeping it so hardcore?

I’m falling
In all the good times
I find myself longing for change
And in the bad times I fear myself

I’m off the deep end, watch as I dive in
I’ll never meet the ground
Crash through the surface
Where they can’t hurt us
We’re far from the shallow now

In the shallow, shallow
In the shallow, shallow
In the shallow, shallow
We’re far from the shallow now

I’m off the deep end, watch as I dive in
I’ll never meet the ground

EMERGING ISSUES IN A NEW ERA IN THE SOCIAL ECONOMY 'Creating a Better World Means Asking Better Questions'

Creating a Better World Means Asking Better Questions (SSIR):

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?

DOORS WITH HISTORY AND SOUL / PORTAS COM HISTÓRIA E ALMA

Photo: Coimbra city, Portugal, door

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?

PMS, «Diaries & Notes»

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?

COHOUSING - THE FUTURE IS CO-LIVING

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."

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.

A natureza e a dádiva

"In order to receive everything, it is necessary to open hands and give."

Let us have an excellent day wisely taking advantage of every moment that is provided to us.

COERÊNCIA / COHERENCE

Photo by Christopher Jobson, designer

A Coerência

"Assim que nascemos colocam-nos uma roupa que nos aqueça, aconchegue ou torne apenas mais bonitos, de acordo com as condições, cultura e expectativas do ambiente onde “aterramos”.

De qualquer forma, já nascemos com uma pele.

Ainda no útero começamos a construir o nosso limite, a fronteira entre o dentro e o fora e, mais uma vez, de acordo com as características – temperatura, sabor, acidez, emoções – desse primeiro mundo redondo.

E assim vamos indo enquanto crianças, colocando pele em cima de pele, roupa em cima de roupa - ainda com muito pouca possibilidade de questionamento ou contestação - distorcendo, dissolvendo, reprimindo, esquecendo a nossa essência original.

E depois crescemos e começamos a tornarmo-nos naquilo somos, ou vamos sendo, ou naquilo que sempre fomos e deixamos de ser pelo simples facto de existir.

Vamos sendo aquilo que sempre fomos. Largando roupa e trocando de pele de tempos a tempos.

A mim a coerência, a permanência, nunca me soaram bem ao ouvido.

As convicções cheias, as crenças inquestionáveis, os seres prontos e acabados, cheios de coerência estática, plana, inerte.

A imobilidade assusta-me, ela sim é morte, e não a própria morte.

“Nós não somos, vamos nos tornando”
Clarissa Pinkola Estes, in "Mulheres que Correm com os Lobos"

“A mudança ocorre quando a pessoa se torna aquilo que ela é, e não quando tenta tornar-se o que não é.”
Alexander Lowen, in "Uma Vida para o Corpo"

#quote do Blog da Sara Anahory
http://saraanahory.blogs.sapo.pt/

A coragem de descobrir e assumir quem realmente somos, organiza e transforma a consciencia e a coerencia do nosso corpo.

The courage to discover and assume who we really are organize and transforms our body consciousness and coherence.

John Denver Perhaps Love - Live 1982 Apollo Theatre, London

"Perhaps Love"

"Perhaps love is like a resting place
a shelter from the storm
it exists to give you comfort
it is there to keep you warm
and in those times of trouble
when you are most alone
the memory of love will bring you home
Perhaps love is like a window
perhaps an open door
it invites you to come close
it wants to show you more
and even if you lose yourself
and don¡¯t know what to do
the memory of love will see you through
Oh, love to some is like a cloud
to some as strong as steel
for some a way of living
for some a way to feel
and some say love is holding on
and some say letting go
and some say love is everything
and some say they don't know
Perhaps love is like the ocean
full of conflict, full of change
like a fire when it's cold outside
or thunder when it rains
if i should live forever
and all my dreams come true
my memories of love will be of you."

TRAVESSIAS

"... É o despertar de algo no fundo dos fundos da alma.

Quem o sente não o pode expressar em palavras.

E quem não o sente, não poderá nunca conhecê-lo através de palavras.

Faço votos para que aprendas a amar as tempestades em vez de fugir delas."

Porque só na ousadia da travessia das tempestades vais conhecer o infinito que és!

Também eu faço votos para que aprendas a amar as tempestades...

UNION ANGEL

"At the heart of the soul we know the feeling of perfect union that inspires compassion for all beings.

The force of union removes blockages and dissolves indifference.

When two or more persons are united in the name of Love and Truth, spiritual energy pours into blessings and fills all with their gifts. "

in "Meditating with the Angels" by Sónia Café and Neide Innecco

"No cerne da Alma conhecemos o sentimento de união perfeita que nos inspira a compaixão por todos os seres.

A força da união remove bloqueios e dissolve a indiferença.

Quando duas pessoas ou mais pessoas estão unidas em nome do Amor e da Verdade, a energia espiritual se derrama em bênçãos e preenche todos com suas dádivas."

É... A VIDA TEM VIDRO INESPERADO !

Do Blog do Ricardo Kelmer 2016 – blogdokelmer.com

A VIDA E O VIDRO

Viver é isso
Um voo certeiro de encontro ao destino
Numa inocente tarde de domingo…
De repente um vidro surge à frente
E a vida que era tão transparente
Se escurece e nos impede de seguir
Quem passa, olha nosso corpo e se comove
Tão jovem, morreu de quê?
Mas no café alguém fará um brinde:
Ao anoitecer!
E a imagem que fica em nossa retina
É a de uma bela ave que se aproxima
Convidando a não ser

"AMO-TE", PABLO NERUDA

"Te amo,
te amo de una manera inexplicable,
de una forma inconfesable,
de un modo contradictorio.

Te amo
con mis estados de ánimo que son muchos,
y cambian de humor continuamente.
por lo que ya sabes,
el tiempo, la vida, la muerte.

Te amo…
con el mundo que no entiendo,
con la gente que no comprende,
con la ambivalencia de mi alma,
con la incoherencia de mis actos,
con la fatalidad del destino,
con la conspiración del deseo,
con la ambigüedad de los hechos.

Aún cuando te digo que no te amo, te amo,
hasta cuando te engaño, no te engaño,
en el fondo, llevo a cabo un plan,
para amarte mejor.

Te amo…
sin reflexionar, inconscientemente,
irresponsablemente, espontáneamente,
involuntariamente, por instinto,
por impulso, irracionalmente.

En efecto no tengo argumentos lógicos,
ni siquiera improvisados
para fundamentar este amor que siento por ti,
que surgió misteriosamente de la nada,
que no ha resuelto mágicamente nada,
y que milagrosamente, de a poco, con poco y nada
ha mejorado lo peor de mí.

Te amo,
te amo con un cuerpo que no piensa,
con un corazón que no razona,
con una cabeza que no coordina.

Te amo
incomprensiblemente,
sin preguntarme por qué te amo,
sin importarme por qué te amo,
sin cuestionarme por qué te amo.

Te amo
sencillamente porque te amo,
yo mismo no sé por qué te amo."

Pablo Neruda, Chilean writer, poet and diplomat, (1904/1973)

SOMENTE DEUS É IMPERECÍVEL - RUMI

"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.

Porque 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.

Oh, deixe-me não-existir,
deixe-me estar na não-existência.

Deixe-me voltar para Ele."

Mawlānā Jalāl-ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī

MENSAGENS DIÁRIAS PARA INTEGRAR A ALMA

"Se nos encontrarmos no escuro, não conseguiremos empurrar a escuridão para fora com as mãos ou com a mente.

Para fazer desaparecer as sombras é preciso acender uma luz.

Se entrarmos em contacto com a Luz Interior da Alma, ela irá transmutar toda a escuridão.

Visualiza agora no teu Coração uma luz que se expande e irradia calor para tudo o que está à tua volta.

Sente a luz se expandindo a partir do teu centro interior até que te sintas como um imenso Sol de Amor." 

in "Meditando com os Anjos", de Sónia Café e Neide Innecco

Quando começares a sorrir, é sinal que comunicaste com a tua Alma, lhe deste os bons dias e ela te abençoou.
