One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

sunsets in Lisbon )

Teach, Learn, Share

Há um tempo em que é preciso abandonar as roupas usadas, que já têm a forma do nosso corpo, e esquecer os nossos caminhos, que nos levam sempre aos mesmos lugares. É o tempo da travessia: e, se não ousarmos fazê-la, teremos ficado, para sempre, à margem de nós mesmos.

"Wir lassen etwas von uns zurück, wenn wir einen Ort verlassen, wir bleiben dort, obgleich wir wegfahren. Und es gibt Dinge in uns, die wir nur dadurch wiederfinden können, dass wir dorthin zurückkehren".. (Pascal Mercier. Nachtzug nach Lissabon)
