7 Vidas

De malinha pronta

Reprise

O gato em cima do muro
Observa o mundo
Põe-se a jeito, no parapeito
O espetáculo está prestes a começar
A vida é um carnaval
E o bicho não perde pitada
Deste desfile bestial
Com os humanos é tudo ou nada!
Riso, lágrimas, choro, gargalhadas
Murros, gritos, coices, pontapés
Silêncio
Um, dois, três
O gato engole em seco
E desfruta do show de uma só vez.

She rewarded me with her most mischievous smile.  So, then.  Not only from the mouths of babes.  My tears ended, I couldn’t help but return her smile.  My breast filled with hope, until stayed by my bodice.

All, Some, or Nothing?

From Behind the Pen

You can have everything but wind up having nothing at all.

So often, society dictates our mood, attitude, what we have, what we do, what we accomplish, where we live, how much money we must have to be successful, how many kids we should have, what organizations to be a part of, what schools we should attend, or what we should drive.

In my much, much younger years, I actually bought into that line of so-called “By any means necessary” way of thinking and fulfilling my dreams. Oh, how hard that was. Too much stress and not enough self-evaluation on what joy truly meant to me, and not someone else.

You can have everything, then risk losing it all, and have nothing at all. Just remember,“No one can see your visions and dreams as clearly as you can. Purpose is the key to creation manifested through vision!”
