The Crossing...with the help of my new daily planner ;-)

Living as an expat reminds me always these wise words of our great poet, Fernando Pessoa...

" Há um tempo em que é preciso abandonar as roupas usadas, que já têm a forma do nosso corpo, e esquecer os nossos caminhos, que nos levam sempre aos mesmos lugares. É o tempo da travessia: e, se não ousarmos fazê-la, teremos ficado, para sempre, à margem de nós mesmos."

" There is a time when it's necessary to abandon the used clothes that already have the shape of our body, and forget our paths that always take us to the same places. It's the time of the crossing: because, if we don't dare to, we shall have stayed, forever, at the edge of ourselves."
...

Mihaela chose this daily planner for me when we were at the American Book Center...:-)

I needed one, I like cats and the colours are beautiful ;-)

As vezes custa muito, dispende-se muita energia no processo de adaptacao e na aprendizagem da lingua. Comecar tudo de novo com quase 40 anos nao e facil...eu nao sou muito de me queixar, e por isso, gosto de ter as minhas ancoras. Esta frase do Pessoa e uma delas.

Oh Sandra dear, this is a wonderful poem and thought; it is so poignant and true for anyone! I am so glad that I can say that I crossed many crossroads only to find that I was more courageous and able than I had ever imagined. Bravo to you my dear friend.

Bisous, Anita
