NotE

In these days when I am listenning so many new things or remembering old ones... I find myself thinking about all I went through this last year and how every single thing goes back to the start, to the same "key note".. the one I've been trying to find out, the right one, she has been right under my fingers.
As I once heard in a Tv program, the making of the film - Rey Charles:
"Take time to find the right note; that's what life is...we all have the notes under our fingers, we just have to take the time to find the right note, the one that will make us live..." - main actor.

After all...
...It all beguins in Your
...heart.

" Keep vigilant watch over your heart; that's where life starts."

Proverbs 4:23
The Message

" The Wicked witch hated the love that the woodsman had for the young maiden. She set out to destroy him. Litle by litle his limbs were cut off and replacedwith arms, and hands and feet of tin.The final blow was to his heart.
At first the woodsmandidn't mind. It made him much more productive.He could work harder and faster, accomplishing more.Everything was just fine as long as he kept well oiled.One day he forgot to oil his joints and the rain camedown and he found himself frozen, unable to move.During the year that he stood there he had a lot of timeto think. He thought about the great loss that he had suffered,the loss of his heart. "

I was reading one more chapter, day 11 of the book The purpose-driven life, " Becoming God's friends ", when my eyes where caught by a verse where we are told how God just simply palnned the all universe, including every detail on our life so we could know Him and be with Him... to be His friends.

> who talk all day long with Him, who are aware of His presence in every single task;
> ones who listen to His secrets, who obbey..

I went on reading the chapter in Acts and got really amazed how Paul was aware of God.. of His personality, but most of all he did not loose one chance ... he was aware where ever he went of the culture and ways of that city or people; he would grab that and just discuss about "the secrets" God had revealed to him! Quite simple isn't it?


"22 So Paul took his stand in the open space at the Areopagus and laid it out for them. "It is plain to see that you Athenians take your religion seriously. 23 When I arrived here the other day, I was fascinated with all the shrines I came across. And then I found one inscribed, to the god nobody knows. I'm here to introduce you to this God so you can worship intelligently, know who you're dealing with. 24 "The God who made the world and everything in it, this Master of sky and land, doesn't live in custom-made shrines 25 or need the human race to run errands for him, as if he couldn't take care of himself. He makes the creatures; the creatures don't make him.
26 Starting from scratch, he made the entire human race and made the earth hospitable, with plenty of time and space for living 27 so we could seek after God, and not just grope around in the dark but actually find him.
He doesn't play hide-and-seek with us. He's not remote; he's near. 28 We live and move in him, can't get away from him! One of your poets said it well: 'We're the God-created.' 29 Well, if we are the God-created, it doesn't make a lot of sense to think we could hire a sculptor to chisel a god out of stone for us, does it? 30 "God overlooks it as long as you don't know any better - but that time is past. The unknown is now known, and he's calling for a radical life-change."

Era criança
quando vi 1 mundo simples
e :)

Mais tarde
dei comigo frente ao espelho
tudo a mudar

Cresci,
mas ninguém parecia
me ouvir
Passaram-se anos
senti
senti q afinal tudo
acaba por ter o seu tempo

Quando dei por mim,
a vida crescia
... e de novo1 criança iria :) !

Hoje estou aqui,
amanhã logo se verá.
... mostro quem sou.

Este é o texto q indroduz a exposição colectiva em q participei e está a decorrer aqui no Barreiro, no Espaço J, onde tb já fiz a minha 1ª exposição de fotografia; desta vez reunimo-nos - quem por ali expôs no ano q passou e fizemos 1 tela em conjunto, q mostra 1 bocadinho de cada 1 destas fases descritas neste texto.
Se estiverem por estas bandas ou se forem daqui apareçam...

Procuras o qual o propósito da vida?
Terás que entender que só o vais encontrar quando perceberes que foste criado por e para Deus, só descobrindo e conhecendo-O, vais saber como é suposto seres... afinal de contas só com 1 manual de instruções ou falando directamente c/o inventor/criador, puderás entender como algo funciona... fazendo perguntas e procurando respostas_revelação_...
Assim o + importante não serás tu, tua realização, mas conhecer 1º a fonte de tudo isso, a fonte da vida!...
[depois de ter lido dia 1 de "Uma vida com propósitos" de Rick Warren]

E como já há dias que a seguinte música canta dentro de mim, aqui fica como que o meu "MuiTO Obrigado" a Deus que me criou e idealizou assim, me amou assim...e que me faz amar os que me rodeiam de 1 modo que me deixa tão :) ...
This is vida!...

"Se não te amasse tanto assim"

Meu coração
Sem direcção
Voando só por voar
Sem saber onde chegar
Sonhando em te encontrar
E as estrelas
Que hoje eu descobri
No seu olhar
As estrelas vão me guiar

Se eu não te amasse tanto assim
Talvez perdesse os sonhos
Dentro de mim
E vivesse na escuridão
Se eu não te amasse tanto assim
Talvez não visse flores
Por onde eu vi
Dentro do meu coração

Hoje eu sei
Eu te amei
No vento de um temporal
Mas fui mais
Muito além
Do tempo do vendaval
Dos desejos de um beijo
Que eu jamais provei igual
E as estrelas dão um sinal

Se eu não te amasse tanto assim
Talvez perdesse os sonhos
Dentro de mim
E vive-se na escuridão
Se eu não te amasse tanto assim
Talvez não visse flores
Por onde eu vim
Dentro do meu coração

Ivete Sangalo.

...drawing somewhere at a table with friends...
...desenhar enqto se está c/amigos...

Pois é muito engraçado o q acontece qdo estamos entre amigos ao som de 1 boa música e se passa 1 noite a conversar; melhor ainda é estar ai e de repente "já não estarmos"... é como eu a rabiscar, rabiscar o q vejo à minha volta ou o q simplesmente flui da minha imaginação... às tantas estamos tão envolvidos e conhecermo-nos de tal forma q o silêncio ( em termos de palavras) fala por nós... nesse instante... não consigo parar de comunicar, escrevo junto aos m desenhos... faço 1 pergunta por escrito, desenho perguntando por meio de 1 lua e *s, onde estás?
E é incrivel como surge entre 2 amigos 1 conversa através de pequenos rabiscos... outra lua, depois 1 lua e 1 sol e no final 1 outra versão da lua e do sol_ tipo 1s peças para mim; pergunta e resposta foram aparecendo por meio de desenhos. E neste tempo em q acho q comunicar é algo tão precioso e estou a voltar a descobri-lo e a "gozá-lo"... lembrei-me de momentos tão fixes qto estes em q desenhos num instante falaram por si ...
...isso fez-me lembrar "West Of The Moon"...

"East Of The Sun (West Of The Moon)"

East of the sun and west of the moon
We'll build a dream house of love dear
Close to the sun in the day
Near to the moon at night
We'll live in a lovely way dear
Sharing our love in the pale moonlight

Just you and I, forever and a day
Love will not die; we'll keep it that way
Up among the stars we'll find a harmony of life to a lovely tune
East of the sun and west of the moon dear
East of the sun and west of the moon

"Did you feel the mountains tremble?
Did you hear the oceans roar?
When the people rose to sing of Jesus Christ, the risen One

Did you feel the people tremble?
Did you hear the singers roar?
When the lost began to sing of Jesus Christ, the Saving One
And we can see that God You’re moving
A mighty river through the nations
And young and old will turn to Jesus
Fling wide you heavenly gates
Prepare the way of the risen Lord

Open up the doors Let the music play
Let the streets resound with singing
Songs that bring Your hope
Songs that bring Your joy
Dancers who dance
Upon injustice

Do you feel the darkness tremble?
When all the saints join in one song
And all the streams flow as one river
To wash away our brokenness "

..continously learning to listen to God.


In these times that I feel change is coming I often bump into this card that a good friend of mine gave to me some years ago; it seams that I am keeping on waitting and waitting for what God has for me... it seams like an endless time, but one thing I can be shore of is that WHAt He has promised, He'll get it done!! So I hope this encourages you all, as it as to me, and in the mist of what ever different phase you are going through life... look to GOD, and He will show you His own perspective of situations. And do not forget GREAT things are ahead us, so keep going!!

[Ah!... talking about perspective... read this article is really interesting and good, it shows how we can be really not looking at life through the right point of view! ]

I had more stuff about friends to share, but I'll do it in another time...
This a time when God speaks through so many ways [ for me it has been like really coming alive again!!He is showing me what is like to be me, to know His Heart] books, people, objects... and there is yet so much to discover also; it's a time I've some difficulty to chose what I'll share; I try to follow a subject, but then everything gets so connected I can't split them into different parts or pieces; Basically is this I can not imagine my life, work, relationships... without GOD!
