MEMORIES

memories recollect
what once was

sentimental compositions
to repurpose and rework

a key medium of exploration

to question
how we remember

the glitch

objects consigned to oblivion
obscuring

YOU ARE GOLD, BABY! SOLID GOLD!

(says a card in a wall)

“Imagine that you have the ability

to see the world with different eyes,

whenever you choose.”

“To breathe gives us much pleasure.

Just to breathe is enough (…)

Just to be alive is enough.

Feel the pleasure to BE ALIVE”

– excerpts (with my emphasis) from the book
The Four Agreements by Miguel Ruiz

a big thanks to all beautiful human beings
who are part of my journey on Planet Earth!

today’s challenge:

DO NOTHING

FOR AS LONG AS YOU CAN

--.- ..- . ... - .. --- -.

what can you notice
in this moment of nothingness?

in which ways is your environement
static and in motion?

can you create spaciousness in your life?

when reality is different from what you imagine

--.- ..- . ... - .. --- -.

what if everything you have is enough?

what if everything you do is enough?

are your clothes enough for you?

are YOU enough?

“Our sense of sight is closely connected with how we perceive. Our eyes take in what’s in front of us but our minds create the story. Dreaming, it could be said, is an extension of seeing.

Even if the environment in front of us looks like hell, we can always dream of another version and, if we really tune into the smallest, most beautiful details of our life, we can find evidence of that reality's existence.”

– Esther Perel & Mary Alice Miller

what fascinates you the most right now?

Beautiful! And there are people
that even forget to look at them!

They forget that they exist!

They’re the ones who lost
the poetry, the dream,
the notion of beauty!

Even though they look at the sky,
they won’t notice the stars!

[uhn???!]

The stars! Where are the stars?!

I’m not seeing the stars either!

Ah! It was only a passing cloud…

…covering only a tiny bit
of the poetry… the dream…
the beauty!

Horácio by Mauricio de Sousa
>>> translated from Portuguese

400,000 Stars

"E agora contavam estrelas.
Contavam todas as estrelas.
Cerca de quatrocentas mil. (…)
Sem nem saber quantas mais havia no céu.
Sem nem saber o que um dia
as mulheres poderiam ver.”

– The Memory Palace by Nate DiMeo

does collective consciousness
impact our choices?

Mary Walker
wore what she wanted

trousers!

--.- ..- . ... - .. --- -.

are you free to wear what you want?

what affects your decision about what to wear or have in your wardrobe?

what are you absorbing from your surroundings?

the paradigm of choice

a friend's words came to my mind

"importa menos que tenhamos tantas coisas para fazer e que não fizemos
(e talvez tão pouco tempo para fazê-las)
do que o fato de que possamos fazer muitas coisas... tantas coisas boas que já fazemos e ainda faremos!"
[meu destaque]

"there's less importance having so many things to do and that we didn't do (and maybe so little time to do them)
than the fact that we can do many things... so many good things we already do and will still do!"
[my translation from Portuguese]
