What´s wrong with the present ?
Quem não desejaria estar sentado numa esplanada parisiense com Salvador Dali, Luis Bunuel e Man Ray ? ou entrar em casa de Gertrude Stein, pela mão de Ernest Hemingway, e encontrar Picasso e Matisse ?
Midnight in Paris de Woody Allen é uma viagem nostalgica pela idade de ouro parisiense, quando todos os artistas convergiam para a capital francesa em busca de inspiração e reconhecimento.
Afinal... quantos de nós não gostariam de viver num passado que nos parece glorioso ? É, no fundo, a ilusão, que quase todos partilhamos, de que a vida dos outros, uma época diferente, um país longinquo... é sempre melhor do que aquilo que temos nas nossas proprias vidas.
Um filme a não perder... que me leva a fazer a pergunta : What´s so wrong about the present ?

Reaching Freedom...
There comes a time we understand that our life is our own journey. That is when the approval of others is no longer what drives our every day. And that is when we come to know we no longer have anything to prove. What we have and know is our own existence. And that is what matters.
When we get to that point, when ego is no longer trying to explain and justify, there is a great rush of freedom. From that moment on we give ourselves permission to move full ahead in our own lives without having to stop and please.
We no longer give our ego attention when it’s screaming in our ears to prove we are worthy. It no longer matters because we know the truth. Our lives are about experience and wisdom. The way life happens and we behave and exist, it only matters to us.
I often hear such freedom comes with age. But I hope that isn’t right. I hope any adult can have the ability to understand we don’t live our lives to fulfill other people’s ideas or expectations of us. Spending time showing and proving to others we are right or worthy or conforming to some social expectation, leads nowhere because they are other people’s ideas and needs.
Our energies should always be directed at living our lives according to our own truths. From experience to experience using gained wisdom as our conduit, that is a life well lived.
Living to get approvals only gets us stuck in our ego’s jail. “I need to show I’m right.” “I need to show I’m worthy.” “I need to show.”
Showing matters none. Being matters all.
Wherever you are in your journey, concentrate your attention to self-reflection. Defending your ego is not that important. Let others think what they want. Concentrate in what you think. Concentrate in where you want to go. That’s your journey. Your truth.

GO TRAVEL...
" I feel there are no foreign lands. I feel the world is my oyster. All these voices, sounds and noises are familiar to me even if unknown. It is true that journeys have secret destinations of which the traveller is unaware. I feel happy and proud, tired, scared, excited, curious and restless, sleepy, cold, hungry, too hot, queasy, thankful, blessed, dazed, ecstatic, childish and very old. "
Alice Salion
"Traveling is a brutality.
It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends.
You are constantly off balance.
Nothing is yours except the essential things:
air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky.
All things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.”
Cesare Pavese

choices vs Destiny
" If you believe it is a world of choice, you regard your life as a product of your own decisions. If you believe in destiny, you suspect there are greater forces defining your life’s story. Even if we are each part of some great master plan, our unique journey has more personal meaning when we choose it for ourselves. You make many choices every day. Whenever possible, choose the life you want. "
