Today

Let's compensate
sadness and frustration
with food
Let's have them melt
in a blue cheese tagliatelle

Let's have a drink
to wash away
the annoyance
the grievance

A glass of red wine 
In small sips
to remind us 
there is no need to hurry 
We are all moving 
towards the same end, anyway

Let's have dessert! 
A big slice of lemon pie
Let's remind ourselves
the bitter can highlight the sweet

Let's have the pie 
Big chunks of it, big bites
Lots of merengue on top 
will remind us
we should always
taste more of the sweet

Let's not give a fuck about
dieting, restrictions,
judgement, self control 
Let's indulge ourselves
Let's indulge

Let's have a cup of coffee 
Dark and strong,
No cream, no milk 
Let's wake up 
And never
fall asleep again

Let's skip the damn bill
And run away
from the restaurant 
Laughing 
Forever
Or just 
Today

The kind of person who lights candles

  I am the kind of person who lights candles. This is now, not then. it is a recently acquired habit, one that has done me well. I light up candles every day. In the beginning of each class I set up an intention, I focus and I light the candle. I ask myself to be the light, to be the container, not the conduit. I am now the kind of person Who walks barefoot on the grass of my backyard and lets herself shower in the improbable rain of Brasilia in May.  The four elements rest now on my desk making my therapist smile when told about them, making her proud of myself and my journey. I am the kind of person that feels the connection with the elements, and nature and the universe, so new. I am again a newborn being. And it is not the first time, I have once died and it’s no secret. This time, however, I did not have to die. I had only to shed the old skin, the one who served me no more. I am still the kind of person who looks in the mirror and who wonders who this new being is. This new self

No espelho

  Olhei hoje para o espelho e me vi mais serena, me enxerguei com mais leveza. Não que esteja de fato mais leve, eu acho. Ou será que estou? Tenho ainda infinitas incertezas e dúvidas aos milhares, mas a imagem que me olhou de volta do espelho, não me olha com tristeza, dor pânico.     A imagem que vejo nesse espelho é de     calma, no olhar certa paz, talvez de se entender humana, imperfeita e aceitar essa condição.     Aqui, deste lado que estou, me observando no espelho, sinto ainda o coração encolher como se uma mão o quisesse esmagar. Encolhe-se para sobreviver e expande-se em seguida. Ao encolher-se, a respiração dá uma pausa e uma bolha de cristal sobe em refluxo, pausando ali no meio da goela. Assim que pode, o coração retorna a seu pulsar, seu ir e vir. Permanecem ali as dúvidas, as exigências, as demandas, mas também os desejos de só ser, irresponsavelmente ser e atender a cada quimera. Porque a vida é curta! A vida é sopro!    E o outro? Os outros? Todos os outros?  É precis
