of women and books

There was a book in my library that I was avoiding. It was from a big collection of great classics I was reading last year. When I came to this one, number 54, I picked it up, took a brief look at some of the pages and decided to skip it ( Read more... )

A writing designer? you could do that - you've got a good way with words in my view!!

Why, thank you! Deep down I now it's just one of those goals we are never going to achieve but we need to keep them close to help us go on...
This live journal thing, and my other portuguese blog, are helping a lot with my hunger for words! I kept diaries all my life and quitted some years ago. I didn't realized how much I missed my own babling!

it's the same here - I loved writing but confined it to corresponding with friends abroad etc. And then I discovered LJ and can now annoy a much wider audience!! :)

Hm, sounds like a book I should read. I hope it's available in English. My Portugese is quite poor. More than a "Bom dia" and a "Obrigado" is not possible.
You are right. It was also fascinating for me. During my 2 weeks in Lisbon I had to watch the sunrise at least once. And on one cold and windy moring at around 6am I stood at the Tejo, next to the FIL. Everything was calm, an unusual silence, the city wasn't fully awake yet. Only the day before had I heard of the Tsunami in Asia where quite many of my Taizé friends live. The river sang softly, yet also demanding. I cannot describe it. In some moments I felt very uncomfortable and lonley. There are still monsters everywhere.

Yes, monsters are everywhere and I kind of like it that way... It's almost too poetic.

"Obrigado" e "Bom dia" it's good! We could start talking with that! *laughs* I can count to ten in german and know a lot of other words by listening to Rammstein and watching that policeman dog series...

I wasn't involved in the Taizé meeting (I remember I never answered your questions, shame on me!), in fact I only knew about their existence because you guys invaded my train one fine morning!
That place near the river is really beautifull but never been there that early in the morning! That river is my favourite thing in the whole country!
