Love

It is well known that where there is no love there can rarely be courage, and I would request you here not to confuse courage with sheer bravado... Similarly, where there is no love, there can be no faith, charity or chastity and, therefore, existence devoid of love is an empty existence. Love must grow and embrace more and more within its orbit of expression.

Raise with humility

In a supposed dark corner
without any guess but a hope
of trying to hold on to a chance,
of life, facing struggles
even when it means to wait.
Quiet in some lost spot,
it seems lonely and helpless,
if it's a chase of a lost cause or
staring at raw violence...
When blindness of humanity forgot
it's own existence, it's pure state of
living and being just as...
An ant rises with humility on her own task or pursuit,
maybe for love or only for surviving but,
it doesn't diminishes others, it relates and unites
for a better work...
All naked in the sun, on a rainy day or facing a storm,
just raise...
Raise and be humble!

Grande Pessoa

Para ser grande, sê inteiro: nada
Teu exagera ou exclui.
Sê todo em casa coisa. Põe quanto és
No mínimo que fazes.
Assim em cada lago a lua toda
Brilha, porque alta vive.

Quero ignorado, e calmo
Por ignorado, e próprio
Por calmo, encher meus dias
De não querer mais deles.

Aos que a riqueza toca
O ouro irrita a pele.
Aos que a fama bafeja
Embacia-se a vida.

Aos que a felicidade
É sol, virá noite.
Mas ao que nada spera
Tudo o que vem é grato.

Fernando Pessoa em
Odes de Ricardo Reis
