Quando Marta ficou sozinha

Quando Marta ficou sozinha

Quando a alegria foi embora,
Marta só ouviu o ruído
do vento forte na janela
e, no chão, estalos de vidro;

Fechou a janela, a cortina,
e voltou à sua rotina;

não compreendia, nesse tempo,
que o reverso de uma alegria
não é a tristeza, é o silêncio;

e as semanas ficaram longas
e caladas, sombra após sombra.

Alberto da Cunha Melo

some days are like that

some days are just like that

MUST. HAVE. SOUNDS.

MUST. HAVE. SOUNDS.
(excuse the cliche)***

so today, after a loooong and haaaard day’s work, i found a couple of nice things, music-wise:

muxtape (YOU. HAVE. TO. CHECK. IT. — create your own and let me know :)

last.fm widget (i know this is kind of old news, but I finally installed it on my iMac)
it works wonders and you can customize a lot of it or just let it play

check them out!

(plus I found this photo of Juniper and a weird Damien Rice, thank God I met him after the fact :-O)

BUY.FOR.NOW.

***should say “music to knit by”, just to link this post somehow to knitting, but who am I kidding? knitting mojo non-existing at the moment :( and I miss it!! maybe should change the name of blog or something…

tarry vs. hurry

yay! procrastination is not all bad!!!
(i must have known that deep down in all my wisdom :))

“All this hurrying soon will be over. Only when we tarry do we touch the holy.” (Rainer Maria Rilke – In Praise of Mortality, translated and edited by Anita Barrows and Joanna Macy)

Mayo

wish I was there

seat belt feeling?

sometimes when I sit at my desk to work I feel there is something missing. I then realize that I feel like fasting the seat belt around me. seriously. it’s a very strange feeling as I obviously don’t need a seat beltdon’t have a seat belt attached to my office chair. this happens specially when I’m very busy. maybe subconsciously I know that I’m in for a bumpy ride! :-)
to work and I

I also can’t drive without fasting the seat belt, I can’t even start the car without it, which is a good thing. I’d sit in the passenger seat without the seat belt any day, though. especially if hubby is driving. go figure.

≈ listening to Stickshifts and Safetbelts, by CAKE ;-)

I had my cereal before going to bed because I knew I would have no time for breakfast this morning. It did not work. I still woke up hungry :-P

the reading diet went on ok, and i slack …

the reading diet went OK, but i slacked on some things, like reading the following chapter and there is still no knitting on needles, and a knitted bag to sew up. in time, things will fall into place :)
