Lời Mời Tình Yêu

Vinicius de Moraes

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

” É melhor ser alegre do que ser triste

Alegria é a melhor coisa que existe

É assim como a luz no coração

Mas pra fazer um samba com beleza

É preciso um bocado de tristeza

Senão não se faz um samba, não. “

Vinicius de Moraes. Samba de Canção.

(Vinicius de Moraes e Baden Powell)

How important is spirituality in your life?

This is an interesting question for me. I consider myself to be a Spiritual person, its not like a Religion too me, if that makes sense? I’ve never been one too put myself into a box. I don’t like being “I have to meditate every single day, at this time”. But I also do meditate, haha.

I am of the belief, we “make” our own Spirit. Which is a little different to Religion, because there’s a kind of regime aka the Bible, the 10 Commandments.

Writing all that (if that made sense). Spirituality is a very personal thing, and a such, it is important too me, but its only important to me as much as, what my Spirit is.

It is important too me, but its not a “Religion” too me.

My Spirit is important too me…

 Happy Birthday Friend

Anita's Perspectives on Life

In solitude, she stands, a lady of grace,

With strength and wisdom etched upon her face.

A milestone reached, a golden age,

But loneliness casts a somber stage.

Her family, scattered far and wide,

Their absence felt, a void inside.

Yet amidst the silence, her pen takes flight,

Through the power of words, she finds her light.

In pages filled with thoughts and dreams,

Her heart unfolds, in every theme.

Writing, her solace, a healing balm,

Each word a prayer, a soothing calm.

Though distance separates, love remains,

A bond unbroken, despite the plains.

Her words carry love across the miles,

Embracing hearts with joyful smiles.

On this special day, let us gather near,

In spirit, we stand, whispering cheer.

May this birthday be a gentle embrace,

Filling her world with warmth and grace.

For you, dear lady, with strength so true,

Know that you’re cherished, through and through.

In…
