Tell me, Oh tell me

    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:

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




Zena Holloway  
   

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:

Loving the Five Elements - An Alchemic Composition for Gary

Here are some pictures that I took, in Monserrate, this Spring, matched with some good music and awesome angel's voices. I like to get absorbed by the picture, while listening to the music.

Earth











Laying on the grass, I imagine we can cross this passage...

And, sometimes, the water has light, just like your eyes!

I just regret that skin space between you and I ;)

A video for Emily Dickinson

The soul selects her own society,
Then shuts the door;
On her divine majority
Present no more.

Unmoved, she notes the chariots pausing
At her low gate;
Unmoved, an emperor is kneeling
Upon her mat.

I've known her from an ample nation
Choose one;
Then close the valves of her attention
Like stone.

 
Emily Dickinson

Sweet,
Let me fall deep
Into your arms
And kiss the lake,
Your heart!
Immersing and floating
I feel your joy,
I feel your rhythm.
Falling and rising,
Our suns,
Our soul's shadows.
Love has roots and wings!

For Gary

Today a butterfly
Came to me
Wondering around
In my dreams of you

Flying with joy
In the midst of the sun
My heart
And the butterfly
Became one

As you and I
As you and I


For Gary

Waiting


Waiting for you...
To draw a rose,
And dive into the pink
Of the petals to caress.

Waiting for you...
To shape a heart,
And fly into the rose
Of that beating.
 
Waiting for you...
To release all the fire,
And let flow
The inner smile of love.

For Gary

Come to Me


I will come to you
As a soft breeze.
Warm winds
In our hearts
Evoking places
In our memory.
Past and future...
You and me
You and me
Here

For Gary

You draw a heart
To me.
Our hearts,
The beat...
My green spinning
In your rose opening
Or the opposite,
Or both, maybe.
Just fall there,
And dive...
"We will dance in flight"

For Gary

Love is a strange place
Where the autumn leaves last forever
Where the tree of life
Grows in our hearts
Where the smile on your face
Makes my sight want to shine into your sight.
Talk to me, with your tender voice,
In our dreams,
I slip out of space
Into your arms
Warm and tender
Warm and tender

A Pastelaria dos Sonhos é um sítio mágico...pois pode estar em muitos lugares...



Entrevejo um local, que, ao mesmo tempo que pode estar muito movimentado e cheio de gente, me parece muito tranquilo. As pessoas que foram entrando, querem fazer um intervalo da vida lá de fora, do corre-corre, e, nem que seja por um momento breve, sonhar.
Podemos falar sobre tudo e sobre nada. Expressar o que nos vai na alma ou ficar em silêncio.
Podemos pensar nos grandes dilemas da nossa vida, nos pontos inexplicáveis, no mistério que é estar aqui...
Ou, então, simplesmente falamos da crise, do trabalho, do tempo...
Esse local pode ser qualquer cafezinho, mais discreto, um botequim perdido em Casablanca, uma casa à beira do lago, uma pastelaria da nossa infância...
A Pastelaria é o local habitado pelos sonhos, pelo medo de não os alcançarmos, por aquilo que são os ingredientes da vida - o prazer, a dor, a luta para superar as tensões que nos habitam, devido a esses opostos e, também, o momento em que nos abandonamos à vida e nos deixamos levar pelas ondas, procurando aqui e ali, participar do desenho que é a nossa vida.

Por isso, a Pastelaria pode estar lá fora, no mundo de todos os dias. Podemos procurá-la durante muito tempo e encontrá-la quando menos esperamos.

Boa sorte a todo o internauta que ainda acredita nos seus sonhos!

Sonhos da Pastelaria para 2010



Gostaria de entrar em 2010 ao som de "If Everyone Cared" dos Nickelback.
É uma música de sonho, que fala sobre sonhos...

Aqui fica o vídeo, muito bom...


Em toda a música  perpassa o "If", ou seja, o "se". O sonho dos Nickelback depende de um "se" quem sabe inalcançável.



Bem, nada como fazer o pouco que podemos e que está ao nosso alcance.
Quem sabe se já não é muito...
Inevitavelmente lembro-me de Nelly Furtado - Try:

Continuemos a tentar tornar este mundo um lugar melhor, lembremo-nos sempre que ele é a nossa casa.
