This is the cover of a book called "The Evangelical Heart". May God forgive the author...

"Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want so they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you love to do, in order to have what you want."

-- Margaret Young

You are The Hierophant

Divine Wisdom. Manifestation. Explanation. Teaching.

All things relating to education, patience, help from superiors.The Hierophant is often considered to be a Guardian Angel.

The Hierophant's purpose is to bring the spiritual down to Earth. Where the High Priestess between her two pillars deals with realms beyond this Earth, the Hierophant (or High Priest) deals with worldly problems. He is well suited to do this because he strives to create harmony and peace in the midst of a crisis. The Hierophant's only problem is that he can be stubborn and hidebound. At his best, he is wise and soothing, at his worst, he is an unbending traditionalist.

Downtown Rio - One more building being demolished. A little bit of our history vanishing in the dust.

Well, I've been away for a long time, due to many problems. I'm glad to be back and find good old friends, maybe get some new good ones.

Sorry, phriends, but due to another spammers attack I had to disable comments for a while. Hope to hear from you soon!

Meanwhile, let's make our choice: Flickr or Multiply??? I'm eager to move. Hate when I waste one hour deleting dozens of stupid comments and then notice that some other dozens have been posted (in spite of the "guest comments" have been disabled!). Grrrrr

This couple asked me to take a pic of them, because they wanted to have a souvenir of their visit. I told them I was not a professional photographer, I was just a tourist like them, but they seemed not to care about that. After I took the pic they gave me their address and asked me how much it would cost. How much should I pay them for giving me the pleasure (honor?) of portraiting such decent, nice, lovely people?

Your day breaks, your mind aches
You find that all the words of kindness linger on
When she no longer needs you
(...)
Your day breaks, your mind aches
There will be time when all the things she said will fill your head
You won't forget her
And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years.

(Paul McCartney, "For no one")

It's been a hard day's night
And I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night
I should be sleeping like a log

(Lennon & McCartney, "A hard day's night")

À meia-noite, pelo telefone,
conta-me que é fulva a mata do seu púbis.
Outras notícias
do corpo não quer dar, nem de seus gostos.
Fecha-se em copas:
“Se você não vem depressa até aqui
nem eu posso correr à sua casa,
que seria de mim até o amanhecer?”

Concordo, calo-me.

(Carlos Drummond de Andrade, "À meia-noite")

Luminosa manhã,
por que tanta luz?
Dá-me um pouco de céu,
mas não tanto azul.
(...)
Luminosa manhã,
tanto azul, tanta luz...
é demais pro meu coração!...

(Haroldo Barbosa e Luiz Reis, "Canção da manhã feliz")

(...)
E quando o sol raiar desentendido
Eu vou ferir a vista no amanhã
E olharei para quem vai pro trabalho
Com os olhos feito os olhos de uma rã.

(Renato Teixeira, "Sentimental eu fico")
