    Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future.

    For my Brazilian Friends struggling for a new life in a better world.

    Caetano Veloso → Sampa

    Something happens in my heart
    When I cross Ipiranga (Avenue) and São João Avenue
    As I got here I didn't understand anything
    Not the concrete poetry of your street corners
    Not the discreet inelegance of your girls

    I didn't know Rita Lee (a singer from São Paulo)
    Your most complete translation
    Something happens in my heart
    Only when it crosses Ipiranga (Avenue) and São João Avenue

    When we were face to face I didn't saw my face
    I called what I saw bad taste, I called bad taste to bad taste
    Because Narcissus thinks is ugly what is not a mirror
    And what is not so old scares the mind
    Nothing from before when you are not a mutant

    And you were a difficult beginning
    I get away of what I don't know
    And who sell a dream of a different happy city
    learn fast to call you reality
    Because your are the reverse of the back of the back of the reverse

    From the people oppressed in lines, in streets, in towns
    Of the power of the money that builds and destroy beautiful things
    From the ugly smoke that rises and hide the stars
    I see your poets raise from the fields and spaces
    Your forest workshops, your gods of the rain

    Pan-Americas from Africa utopias, samba grave.
    The newest of Zumbi's quilombo (I will post about Zumbi soon)
    And the new baianos wandering in your drizzle
    And the new baianos can enjoy you on a good one.

    I have some doubts sometimes.

    I have them for me, because I choose a different religion one day.

    Would Jesus love me?

    One of the darkest evils of our world is surely the unteachable wildness of the Good.

    On vacations: We hit the sunny beaches where we occupy ourselves keeping the sun off our skin, the saltwater off our bodies, and the sand out of our belongings.

    After a war most of the men can finally understand that peace is so precious, more than gold or diamonds. We should learn to avoid the war and learn from our ancestors or from our history.

    Can we start today?
