6 Aug 2009This is a quote I found last week, which should have gone with the previous post: “Being Is Enough We are not always clear about what we are experiencing, or why. In the midst of grief, transition, transformation, learning, healing, or discipline – it’s difficult to have perspective. That’s because we have not learned the [...]

4 Aug 2009The mind is a wonderful thing… when we don’t exaggerate its importance. We aren’t only “mind” and in fact, it’s very difficult to explain exactly what the “mind” is. The scientific view tells us we are symbiotes. Made up of trillions of bacteria and cells which make up what we call “human”, and what we [...]

21 Jul 2009“I must learn to love the fool in me – the one who feels too much, talks to much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laught and cries. It alone protects me against that utterly self-controlled masterful tyrant whom [...]

2 Jul 2009Couldn’t sleep last night, so I read. The Enchantress of Florence, by Salman Rushdie, still. These are two passages I like: “I know what she is, because she is still the way I was. She loves me until it no longer serves her to love me. She adores me, until the time not to adore [...]
Lisbon, Berlin, London, Hanover, Amsterdam, Prague, Porto, Hereford, Lille, Nice, Antibes, Juan-les-Pins, Cannes, King’s Lynn, Newcastle upon Tyne, Copenhagen, Recife. I could riddle you what all these cities have in common, but then I’d have to wait for the answer to write the rest of this entry… These are all cities where I walked. I [...]

27 Mar 2009Post retroactivo… se isso existir. Não era isto que eu tinha escrito ontem, mas o computador demonstrou ser mais sábio do que eu e bloqueou antes que pudesse carregar no botão para publicar… Quando voltei a casa à noite o que tinha escrito não transmitia o que eu sentia. Acho que nada transmite. Não sou [...]

25 Mar 2009Bidjibah. “It’s not offensive, is it?” asked a friend in a previous comment. No it’s not, but it doesn’t mean anything either. It’s not my name, though I have used it as a nickname and pseudonym on and off for, almost twenty years! In fact, if you google it, you’ll find my profile on Last.fm [...]

24 Mar 2009Há dias assim…só me apetece chorar. Esteve um dia de sol, o trabalho correu bem, sem falhas nem percalços. Despachei-me a tempo e horas e sentia-me descansado. Escrevi o que pude nos intervalos, tomei um galão a meio da manhã e comi o que foi provavelmente o meu último pão com chouriço na faculdade. É [...]

26 Feb 2009Welcome to my new website! I refrain to call it just a new blog because I have plans to let it grow into something else. All in due time, though. For those who haven’t read the About page, which I’ll be sure to post between this week and the next, here’s the summary: My name [...]
