Hi friends,
I´ve been posting some photos (in fact I think I´ve been forming a photo book in my mind, but it´s still just an idea) at Twitpic website. They´re mostly from my hiding place in the Southern Brazilian countryside, but there are others from Argentina and others places in Brazil as well....

From my village I see the universe.

I´m a gaucho, or gaúcha. In Brazil it means I was born in its southermost state, Rio Grande do Sul. There´s a whole lot of things that people say about Brazilian Gauchos, but they´re mostly stereotypes and, as such, I don´t listen to them or buy into them. You can´t put people into bottles and...

Epitaph, by Os Titãs (originally in Portuguese)
"I should have loved more,
cried more,
seen the sunrise.
I should have risked more,
and even made more mistakes.
I should have done what I wanted to do.
I wanted to have accepted people the way they were.
Each one knows the joy and the...

(Mozart Lhullier at 15 ; photo taken for his first job)
My dad dropped out of school when he was 14. My grandfather had trusted the wrong people with his money, and one day he woke up to find out that the only thing he really owned were the clothes he was wearing. The boys, my father and uncle...

Our bad manners towards nature have been unbelievable in the last decades. We came to believe that we were colossal creatures, who could control the elements and put them to our service. We thought that language and reason entitled us to bend all the rules and use the planet as a toy.
Well, what...

Mary´s middle boy says that music is what feelings sound like. I think this is genius. And after reading that, I kept wondering what they would look like. To express something as abstract as a feeling through sounds, images or words requires a high level of sensitivity.
My five-year old has been...

Published in 1875, The Crime of Father Amaro, by Portuguese novelist Eça de Queirós is a masterpiece in its criticism of this week´s topic: sex, religion and politics.
To escape poverty, young Amaro agrees to enter the seminary and become a Catholic priest. Although not inclined to what a priest´s...

Whenever I travel, near or far, I can´t help but think of my Dad who was a sales rep and had to travel a lot. He always said he didn´t like to travel, but loved his job. The only reason for him to leave home and spend days in a row driving in sometimes not so good roads and sleeping in sometimes...

Obcaecare. Latin - Ob - going towards / Caecare - to make blind.
What makes me blind, figuratively, so I stop reasoning and have to go after it? Some order in the chaos. Gotta have it.
Pathos. Greek - suffer
What is it that I want so much it makes me suffer? Happines. Call it a paradox.
Fixus....

I just read this great article from The Guardian: What´s it like to live with Helen Mirren? It´s always interesting to hear both sides of a story/relationship. What I found wonderful is that not one of the guys said things like pretty face, amazing body, well-shaped legs, great boobs etc., all that...

I´m always very curious to find out how people became avid readers. Some time ago I organized, together with two colleagues, a collection of reading memoirs where contributing writers, mostly authors and professors, were asked to narrate their first experiences with reading and how these shaped...

It´s a fine coincidence that Mary cooked Ratatouille tonight, because just this afternoon I was watching the animated movie that goes by the same title with my children, on their Winter break. I´m talking about children, so you might imagine that this is not the first, or the second, or the third,...
