Through a glass



Sometimes we have the need to look to ourselves through a glass. A mirror that projects what we don't want to see. Just a glimpse from what we keep on hiding to the world, and most of the times even to ourselves. Imagine if we could reach the image and keep it forever. To be able to look at it when we are feeling down and grab the energy that rises through the mirror when we look at it? Could life be perfect on that moment? ...
Sometimes ... we feel strangers to ourselves. Always trying to feel special and needed when there is no one around to give us the strenght to move on. That's a glass. The projection of our inner needs and feelings. Just a material from this world that was defined to show us that we really can cope with breakdowns.
It's just a simple glass.
Sometimes, we tend to forget what we really are, and we prefer to live according the image. A simple image through a glass which is just a mirror from our inner world.

Around the house

 One of my favourites : an old appliance for my juices. Still working. 

 Cactus : because sometimes I forget to water the plants, and these ones don't complaint about it ;)

One of my favourite chairs. Just because it's a one piece furniture.

Should I


Should I keep on walking? ...

Should I embrace the rocks along the way?
The final stones and pebbles that appear, now and then, just to stop life from moving around.
The final step, the end of misery as it is seen.

Should I stare?
Should I keep on breathing?
To inhale the deep dark clouds surrounded by pain and suffer.
The gasps of memories gone, that keep on coming back from time to time just to be remembered.

Should I cry for help?
Should I raise my hands and beg for mercy?
Way high.
Touch the sky and smell the white clouds full of hope.

Should I? ...

Try to be someone else so the tears can go away.
Pretend another world, another body in order to escape.
Try not to be the same soul ... in vain ... just to fly around and disappear ... maybe some day ...

Should I keep on dreaming?
Should I believe it is going to be better? ...

Should I? ...
And I just keep on walking ...

Popping the ballons



Popping the ballons .....










This was how my house looked like in order to celebrate my last birthday ...


A little bit of colour around the white walls ...


I am glad that the other parts of the house were spared ... hard to clean the ballons ... But I liked the effect.

Cromelech

I went to Alentejo - south Portugal -  and decided to visit some peculiar stones left here by our ancestors ... it's called cromelech  and is the most important megalithic site in Portugal, consisted by 96 standing stones arranged in an oval. It is said that it was used for sacred rituals. I find this things trully amazing ...
There are so many beauties out there, spread over, among us, and it seems that sometimes people don't care for its existence.

Frog

I'm so sorry about my absence ... my internet was not working for a while. I had problems uploading pictures, I really hope that everything is settled now ...

I decided to spent a few days in Alentejo. It's kind of a small paradise, but among trees, animals, no noise from the city, no horns from the cars, no traffic lights, no ... just something to fill in ... Some pure air to breath, great food from the region, marvellous weather at the swimming pool ... That's how I spent a great weekend:)

I chose this picture, because it really moved me ... I'm not a frog fan ... but this one was so tinny, that I felt the urge to take a picture and post it. I was seated in this chair, but then I realized that I was not alone, and when I looked down, I found that this cute animal was sharing the same spot. I moved out, of course, the chair was taken, and the frog arrived there first ... so I just let it rest ...
