    Tell me, Oh tell me, wisdom of the night, how to overcome the failed dreams of mankind..

   Tell me, Oh tell me, mirroring your eyes on mine, how do you lift your wings in the midst of the dark..

  

They dare to speak, and they speak by melody. And that melody overcomes the rudest noises, the bitter silence, surpasses the poetic imagery and even the words of the wise. And, because of that, their message remains:

Fordlandia

Fordlandia... or the myth of a globalized society in permanent progress?

The Hotel which is not going to open at Praça do Comércio

Some dust

With coffee shops, bakeries, pastelarias and the like closed throughout the world, due to Covid-19, suddenly I remembered about this virtual dreamy coffee shop of mine. "Jee! When was the last time I posted something there?!" I thought...

Ah, Max Richter, yes.. No other composer could "picture" these times any better..

So, while we wait...maybe it's time to reopen this "old town place", let some light get into, clean all that dust...

Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time there was a poem that took some time to appear...


Breathing
Under water,
In the garden of your mind, 
All you got to do
Is clap your hands
Because...
We are all connected
And man is the dream 
Of the dolphin.



Simon and Garfunkel:

Man is the dream of the dolphin
