And I’ve been deeply thinking about it since then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ve been questioning myself about if in fact I’m that positive? If in fact I can really show how positive I am? Am I always positive? Do I choose to act positive? &lt;br /&gt;Being positive is it good? Should I be more or less positive?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what’s the meaning of the word &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;positive&lt;/span&gt;? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/TRI3jZWWH2I/AAAAAAAAAHE/oMah7YFe0ig/s1600/a%25C3%25A7ores%2B002.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/TRI3jZWWH2I/AAAAAAAAAHE/oMah7YFe0ig/s320/a%25C3%25A7ores%2B002.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553562371740802914" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WE humans, we are made of the most positive existing energy on the Universe, love. With time most of Mankind has forgotten its complete perfect meaning and by a strange unexplained reason has chosen to focus on all different sorts of principles, values and priorities for guiding their lifes. Somehow we are all discovering the meaning of love, that’s the reason why we are all here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By a mysterious choice mankind prefers to identify classes, organize the world in good or bad aspects, to focus on differences and power, to manipulate, argue and control. Men choose to be negative, to feed egotistic desires, to nourish individual needs, to perpetuate mistakes done before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact it’s all a matter of choice! That’s how it started for me! It was an option that made sense since the first difficult moments I remember. Since early age and for many years I could survive because of this open perspective allowing me to think by myself, while questioning the sceneries I could see beyond what apparently seemed aggressive, unfair, impolite and insensible. Understanding its all the same, we are all one, everything is one made of 2,3 or many opposed perspectives, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The constructive path starts with common little things shared and developed together. How I wish people could focus more on what brings us together and less on what makes us different!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To be able to apply positive thinking permanently takes a lot of experience and of deepening consciousness. Everything starts with the sort of thoughts you allow to be created by your mind. Every thought counts, you have to pay attention, first we start with its valorization or in case is a negative thought with its transformation. Try it out!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thinking positive, gives you a more optimistic perspective of everything. It opens the mind to wider possibilities, gives you the power to transform your reality, guides you towards a constructive approach while facing a challenge, attracts more positive happenings, opens your heart for being able to deal with complexity and ambiguity, for questioning without judging, for confronting when it’s needed, for listening actively and being able to understand the other side don’t matter what, but for most of all to be able to stand for what you believe while simultaneously working for a common ground.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Thinking positive&lt;/span&gt; about a certain topic creates an &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;affirmative attitude&lt;/span&gt; towards that subject.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The hardest part is to practice and maintain it constantly. Something stupid inside of us tend us to belief that nourishing negative emotions and thoughts will lead us somewhere. I’m sure that if you think deeply in your life experiences you can easily understand the power of negativity to destroy, to give you dead ends, to take away all your energy, to seed discomfort, fear, unbalance, to close perspectives. It doesn’t mean you should avoid negative emotions or thoughts, in fact you should always be able to identify them clearly and express them but not in a negative way. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feeling positive about something is so much easier and simple than being anything else. Naturally gives you more energy, comforts your heart and your soul even if chaos is installed, it lights up your path, it sets you on the right proportion of self-confidence and self-esteem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having frequent &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;positive attitudes&lt;/span&gt; leads to a mature &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;constructive behaviour&lt;/span&gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;But it doesn’t mean that you take reality as beautiful scenery of flowers, naïf hippies and peace, it’s more a basic competence to flow with life and that you can choose to work on yourself, for your personal soul wellness. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking back the moments of true happiness were when I was one with myself and my life mission being able to establish clear objectives in alignment with the pure universal sense of positive, meaning desiring something without hurting a soul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having regular sincere natural &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;positive behaviour&lt;/span&gt; in life can lead to create &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;a habit.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;The only thing I’m sure about is that being positive is the only real change I can bring again and again to myself and to the others, a mission for life! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I only wish I can have the strength to continue to make it deeper real for myself and inspiring and taking it into people’s life!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Somehow its always an unfinished mission there’s the all world out there to motivate!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Above all, the most important is when you become entirely positive don’t matter what, if you have &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;the habit &lt;/span&gt;then you have &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;your lifestyle.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This state can only be achieved when peace truly lives inside your thoughts, your heart and soul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These last years I’ve been deepening the positive roots in me, more and more I feel I can awake the amazing magic playingful and loving believing spirit I had when I was a child.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2010 I've tested the limits of my positive energy, making me learn one important lesson I needed: to understand how to integrate the paradoxes of life, how to deal with frustration, with things I cannot change, with the rebel inside me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know this rebel inside me has specific political views and perspectives of the world, I was born a warrior of change, a questioner, but nourishing that part of me was tiring, unfruitful for myself, caused me pain and sometimes made me sick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inspired by pure feelings I've many times exceed myself, I have given more than I could... Finally I've understood at a deeper level the meaning of BALANCE and how can I in fact integrate positive in a fullfilling way for me and the others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I’m positive, I’m centred and peaceful inside myself and know my limits I can then bring the change I want to see in the world. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Believing and practicing kindness and joy can be very revolutionary! I can tell you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;how can I be so positive? What’s positive?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Positive is one, made of its negative shadow! Everything is good and bad at the same time! Positive is good, better and more if you fully accept it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;“Our happiness is directly proportional to our ability to integrate paradoxes.” Carl Jung.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yours,&lt;br /&gt;Ana&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19358612-2126737731249198283?l=themadalchemist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/feeds/2126737731249198283/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19358612&amp;postID=2126737731249198283&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/2126737731249198283'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/2126737731249198283'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/2010/12/house-of-happiness.html' title='HOUSE OF HAPPINESS'/><author><name>ana castanheira</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10920150390064422321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3356/3886/1600/Ana01.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/TRI3jZWWH2I/AAAAAAAAAHE/oMah7YFe0ig/s72-c/a%25C3%25A7ores%2B002.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19358612.post-8125626735272372009</id><published>2010-10-31T12:34:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-31T14:29:50.159-07:00</updated><title type='text'>THE INNER GARDEN</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/TM3WUfFhNfI/AAAAAAAAAG8/7YUFVWdlOxQ/s1600/DSCF4025.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/TM3WUfFhNfI/AAAAAAAAAG8/7YUFVWdlOxQ/s320/DSCF4025.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534315164538582514" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Close your eyes, breath deeply, for a while focus your attention on your breathing going slowly in and out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine a small light inside your heart, light it up and let its brightness expand through all your body, arms, belly, legs, and head.

Have a chat with your gardener about the current state of your garden and how would you like it to be from now on in the near future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weed your garden from judgement, mistrust, fear, anger, envy,...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nurture what you love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plant new things, particularly in areas of your life where you would like to see changes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep on meditating all throughout this visit into your inner garden.&lt;br /&gt;Don’t matter if outside it rains or shines, if it’s too cold or too warm, if it’s silent, aggression or if you feel sad, tired and alone, your inner garden will always be the most beautiful place you can ever know where you can recall how good you are, even when the best you do seems not to be enough. There will ever be people with different perspectives to whom it’s difficult to understand the world according to yours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One day hopefully mankind will be able to understand that love is always beneath our actions even when it doesn’t seem like it.&lt;br /&gt;For all and forever, the solution for the hardest or the best moments is always LOVE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So go on and Love your inner garden and enjoy it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With Love and Laugh&lt;br /&gt;Inspired on the wonderful coach Michael Neill!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19358612-8125626735272372009?l=themadalchemist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/feeds/8125626735272372009/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19358612&amp;postID=8125626735272372009&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/8125626735272372009'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/8125626735272372009'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/2010/10/inner-garden.html' title='THE INNER GARDEN'/><author><name>ana castanheira</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10920150390064422321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3356/3886/1600/Ana01.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/TM3WUfFhNfI/AAAAAAAAAG8/7YUFVWdlOxQ/s72-c/DSCF4025.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19358612.post-5090323485834321187</id><published>2010-08-29T16:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-02T04:46:17.157-07:00</updated><title type='text'>ANGELS AND BUTTERFLIES TO VISIONARIES AND FLYERS</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/TH-Micpe5qI/AAAAAAAAAGs/Xu32H8CciTM/s1600/outjazz+011.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/TH-Micpe5qI/AAAAAAAAAGs/Xu32H8CciTM/s320/outjazz+011.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512278992358401698" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Specially dedicated to Flyers and Visionaries, the ones who I met in Kuopio Finland  in June and in Obertraun Austria in July and all the others that might feel like that!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank each and everyone of you for being exactly who you are, for giving me so many laughs, so much joy, such thoughts and revelations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I recently realised how certain questions have guided my life. Since I remember I’ve been puzzled with specific questions for such I couldn’t have conclusive convincing answers. Somehow they strongly guided me through my path. Somehow I thought all the way through I had the right answers...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;As a child I remember thinking why are children so bad to each other? Why does this adult discriminate the other? Why is this person being aggressive? Why does it have to be like that? Why do I have to behave accordingly to a pattern? Why don’t I fit in a place? Why do I feel so sensitive about the world?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;What?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During my adolescence, I was searching about the What, What is meaningful to me? What should I do? What could I do best? What do I like? What is life for? What is out there? What it’s this that I’m feeling?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;What if?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Together later on with what if I try this? What if I tried out this person how would he/she behave? What if I express it? What would be the result? What if people could become active about protecting the environment? What if people could do a revolution? What if people could change? What if I could change? What if I’m not afraid anymore? What if people would value love? What if people would question the system?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;How?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For many years I was stuck in strong answers I had for myself until I could no longer move forward.  Don’t matter how much I thought I knew, information wasn’t fitting. It was just when discovering HOW I sensed the world, that I could start to understand that don’t matter the whys or the whats, the most important is the How.&lt;br /&gt;Nowadays the striking question for me is still the HOW. Still is and it seems it always will be. The essential action is about the HOW. Even if you could  know the answers to Whats and whys, what will help you fully understand yourself, the meanings of freedom and happiness is THE HOW you do, how you feel, how you think, how you treat people around you . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And recently I’m adding &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;how much?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In these last years I’ve found out that to discover our purpose in life is a dynamic process that mostly requires space, time and silence.  Quantity is enemy of quality and often less is more, it’s all a question of Rhythm and Pace, follow yours and respect for others’ notions of space and time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HOW MUCH is relevant for understanding that the most important change in your lifes is the change of perspective, from surface to the deepness of  the consciousness we have about our feelings, thoughts and acts, how much we can be present at each moment, how much we can choose, how much our happiness depends on our amazing power of transforming negative into positive, how much we are all magicians with the power of bringing into our lifes everything we might dream of, how much we are all creators contributing to the universal wheel of wisdom where energy moves constantly balancing from extremes , from darkness into light, from chaos into stability, how much we can realize how sacred life is by the value of each gesture towards the other, everyone should be treated like divine creations, as we are all the One and moving towards a deeper conscious of the meaning of Love and Peace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;The Portuguese writer Nobel award winner José Saramago, once wrote in "Convent's Memorial": "...that men are born angels without wings, and what can be more beautiful, to be born without wings and make them grow, we did the same to our brain, and if we were able to do so, we will be doing it to them..."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;I wish that as time passes by, you start to feel your wings, make them become bigger, brighter, powerful, beautiful and wiser just by trusting them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fly like a butterfly each day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Of my LIFE PURPOSE, I HAVE A VISION NOW, A CLEARER ONE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each day is one more step to unveil it as I feel one with myself and part of the Big Universal Wheel of Wisdom where everyday the roots of Love  grow more and more deeper, installing peace on my cells as a code of freedom and happiness that allows me to get closer to people, to connect in a more effective way by being present in the moment and be able to finally create bounds and built reality with whomever is around me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;HOW MUCH JOY AND HAPPINESS CAN YOU HAVE IN YOUR LIVE? &lt;br /&gt;AS MUCH AS YOU CAN CREATE AND MUCH MORE THAN YOU IMAGINE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19358612-5090323485834321187?l=themadalchemist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/feeds/5090323485834321187/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19358612&amp;postID=5090323485834321187&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/5090323485834321187'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/5090323485834321187'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/2010/08/angels-and-butterflies-to-visionaries.html' title='ANGELS AND BUTTERFLIES TO VISIONARIES AND FLYERS'/><author><name>ana castanheira</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10920150390064422321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3356/3886/1600/Ana01.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/TH-Micpe5qI/AAAAAAAAAGs/Xu32H8CciTM/s72-c/outjazz+011.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19358612.post-160568019397387766</id><published>2009-12-24T05:30:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-24T06:27:31.371-08:00</updated><title type='text'>2010 WISHES</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SzNuLLzl3lI/AAAAAAAAAGk/cEVaiYPa2HE/s1600-h/DSCF3654.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left;

E a minha força é a criatividade e a sua expressão.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Relembro-me que a ponte com os outros, existe onde há sintonia e empatia que perdura naturalmente no tempo ,  assim criando um sentido de ligação e comunidade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abre essas portas do tempo, para que possamos construir um espaço juntos, tu amigo, que estás só do outro lado da ponte.&lt;br /&gt;Construir algo que não é igual a nada que conheças, algo que por muito diferente que pareça pode ser estável, com coragem de descobrir o que é, sem estratégias, nem objectivos, mas fiel aos sentimentos, abrindo os segredos, partilhando as dificuldades, assumindo o medo do fogo, da água, do ar, da terra, da vida e da afirmação da falta e da existência de emoções e convicções.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aprofundo as minhas opções,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Com a certeza da Terra que piso,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Respirando pausadamente o Ar que me rodeia,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ateando o Fogo necessário,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rumando numa nova luz,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Que ilumina as minhas vontades e pensamentos,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Que me enche do Amor que preciso trazer e partilhar na minha vida!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Encontro a minha paz num sorriso da minha mãe, nos amigos que me fazem visitas inesperadas, numa amiga que me convida para a primeira fila de Speranza Spalding, no pão amassado pelas minhas mãos, neste texto que escrevo, numa criança que me chama Pai Natal, nos gatos que prazenteiramente apanham Sol no capot do meu carro, na árvore que planto com o esforço do meu corpo, na partilha do que sei, na afirmação  do meu poder criativo e inspirador,  nas conversas e laços que aprofundo sem medo,  antes com muita vontade de me tornar inteira, e ser em simultaneo, e contigo, corpo, mente, espírito e natureza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;LA MEGLIO GIOVENTÚ é um filme de Marco Tulio Giordana conta a vida de uma família e as suas 3 gerações  atravessando momentos marcantes da  história de Itália do século XX. Para mim tem uma grande mensagem sobre o saber amar e é por isso que esta mensagem tomou o seu nome. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ENGLISH VERSION bellow&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;For a while it seemed  this blog was finished, but a click tought remind me of the reason why it was created...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To my essence, returns my freedom. And my strength is my creativity and its expression.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reminding me of the existing bridge with the others, when empathy lasts naturally over time creating a sense of connection and community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Open those Time Doors, so that we can built a space together, my friend, you the one standing alone on the other side of the bridge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To built something that it’s not similar to anything you know, something that even though it looks amazingly different, it can be stable. Putting the courage to discover what it is ,without strategies, our goals, by being faithful to feelings, opening the secrets, sharing the difficulties, assuming the fear of fire, of water, air, soil, life and assuming  both lack and  existence of emotions and convictions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’m deepening my OPTIONS,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By being certain of the LAND I step,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Breathing slowly the AIR that surrounds me,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Setting the needed FIRE,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Walking on a new LIGHT,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That clears my will and thoughts,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And fills me in with the LOVE I need to bring and share in my life!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I find my inner peace on my mother’s smile, on unexpected visits of my friends, on a friend that invites me for the first row at SPeranza Spalding’s concert, on the bread I make with my own hands, on this text I’m writing, on a child that calls me Santa Claus in late January, on the cats pleasantly taking Sun on my car’s capot, on the tree that I plant with my body’s energy, sharing what I know, affirming my creative and inspiring power, on the talks and ties deepened without fear, but much more with the will of becoming complete and being simultaneously with you, body, mind, spirit and nature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LA MEGLIO GIOVENTÚ is an Italian movie by Marco Tulio Giordana, that tells the story of a family and its 3 generations throughout important events of the History of Italy in the last century. For me it has a great massage about learning how to love and that’s why this post has its title. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19358612-8200719229796980456?l=themadalchemist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/feeds/8200719229796980456/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19358612&amp;postID=8200719229796980456&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/8200719229796980456'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/8200719229796980456'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/2009/01/la-meglio-gioventu.html' title='LA MEGLIO GIOVENTÚ'/><author><name>ana castanheira</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10920150390064422321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3356/3886/1600/Ana01.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SX_CE3GQBUI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/NzCO3jkhsqg/s72-c/2008+035.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19358612.post-3606927338167891534</id><published>2008-12-18T07:42:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-20T06:57:30.526-08:00</updated><title type='text'>More 365 days of happiness </title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SU0GmueeSvI/AAAAAAAAAFI/_GyM1g3mRBQ/s1600-h/2008+069.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right;

   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p  style="text-align: justify;font-family:arial;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sempre pensei que só mais tarde iria conseguir perceber o significado de determinados gestos.&lt;span style=""&gt;

 &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p  style="text-align: justify;font-family:arial;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Só mais tarde, depois de saber quem sou, poderia construir algo com alguém.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p face="arial" style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Nunca consegui&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;seguir a corrente e os passos naturais em que se confunde o conformismo com a existência de sentimentos, em que se confunde o tempo passado com a qualidade ou profundidade das relações, em que se confunde as opções do sistema com as nossas vontades.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p face="arial" style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Nunca acreditei na competição. Na discussão. No poder. Na hierarquia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p face="arial" style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Sempre acreditei fazer algo que fosse transparente, em que eu conhecesse&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;os principios, os meios &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;e os fins. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p face="arial" style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Sempre acreditei no valor dos gestos simples, positivos. Na abertura de espirito e na criatividade como factores de inspiração para construir a partir do zero. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Sempre acreditei no valor dos valores&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;e &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;acima de tudo valorizei os processos.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Sempre acreditei na cooperação. Sempre a procurei. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Mas o mais tarde chegou agora e se encontrei a paz dentro de mim, continuo a procurá-la nos outros, na comunidade. Continuo sem perceber muito bem o que ela significa para os outros, e &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;como é possível que com tanto conhecimento tecnológico, cientifico, continue a falhar a importância que as pessoas dão umas às outras, a forma como se tratam, a facilidade com que julgam o outro, o ritmo que impede que a comunicação flua e que as situações complexas possa ser compreendidas, o ruído que abafa os pensamentos, as atitudes e os gestos e distancia o Homem da Natureza, dos outros e acima de tudo de si próprio.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Mas aprofundar essa relação consigo próprio, não significa tornar-se individualista, nem dar voz ao seu próprio ego, ou viver&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;para consumir bens e emoções. Ou para do alto da sua sabedoria continuar a julgar e a classificar o mundo, e esquecer o significado das coisas simples.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Significa saber ouvir á nossa voz interior e termos a coragem de seguirmos os caminhos que ansiamos, as pessoas que admiramos, e fazer o melhor que podemos a cada momento e quando não podemos, crescer, seguir em frente, porque o erro, a imperfeição, a diferença fazem parte.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;E quanto mais dificil o cenário se torna, mais nos regozijamos com as pequenas sortes no meio das tempestades. Melhor apreciamos os pequenos e os grandes gestos de preocupação, de apoio, de carinho e de sinceridade,,mais&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;precisamos de nos agarrar aos nossos valores: a coragem, a determinação, a rectidão, o respeito, a honestidade, a humildade, o riso, a sensibilidade, a paz.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Eu que sou ninguém, uma formiguinha no universo imenso atravessando um periodos mais dificeis da minha vida,continuo a acreditar que há sempre um caminho para cada um de nós, onde todos somos gurus, todos somos importantes não só para quem nos é ou está próximo fisica ou emocionalmente, porque a vida é feliz, desde que aprendamos a construir com as pedras do caminho, a construir com o que o contexto nos oferece, mas sobretudo ouvindo o nosso coração, sabendo qual é a nossa verdadeira natureza, ter no amor a confiança, a inspiração, buscando em nós próprios o nosso porto de abrigo. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;E sentir-me bem comigo própria permitiu que o mais tarde chegasse!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Porque um dia percebi que tinha de percorrer o caminho sozinha para me conhecer, para perceber o quais eram os valores fundamentais e como gostaria de vivê-los e pô-los em prática.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Estico a passadeira vermelha para que todos desfilem. A vida é abundância mesmo quando não parece...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Os melhores dias ainda estão para vir!...Porque o primeiro passo é sempre meu! E os outros são o reflexo de mim própria.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify; font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;ENGLISH VERSION&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify; font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;LOVE FEAST&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;“The value of things is not on its duration, but on the intensity of the happenings.

In power. In hierarchy. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-US"&gt;I’ve always believed in working with transparency, in places where I’d know the principles, the means and the objectives. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-US"&gt;I always believed in the significance of simple and positive gestures. In the openness of the spirit and in creativity as conditions for inspiration and tools that allow us to built always something from scratch. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-US"&gt;I’ve always believed in the significance of values and validation of processes above all. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-US"&gt;I’ve always believed in cooperation. I’ve always search for it&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-US"&gt;But later on has arrived now and if I was able to find some peace inside me, I still search for it in the others, in the community. I still don’t understand very well what peace means to the others, and how is it possible that after such technological and scientific knowledge, there’s still a lack of significance on the daily human gestures, &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;on the importance of life and an easiness of judgment towards the other, the rhythm that doesn’t allow the flow of communication and the understanding of complex situations, the noise that hides the thoughts, the attitudes and the gestures and distances Mankind from Nature, from the others and above all from the self. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-US"&gt;To deepen this relation with the “Self”, doesn’t mean to become individualist, neither to give voice to the Ego or to live for the consumption of Goods and Emotions. Or to continue judging and classifying the world forgetting the significance of simplicity. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-US"&gt;It means to know how to listen to our inner voice so we can have the courage to follow our wished paths or people we admire, and to do the best we can at each moment and whenever &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;we can’t&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;to grow and pursuit, because error, imperfect and difference are part of the way. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-US"&gt;As the paths become harder, the better we enjoy the small victories. The better we enjoy small and big gestures of concern, support, kindness and honesty. The more we make use of values like courage, resolution, responsibility, respect, honesty, humbleness, smile, sensitivity and peace.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-US"&gt;I’m nobody, a small ant in the infinite universe going through one of the hardest moments of my life, and I still believe there’s always a path for each one of us, a role where everybody is a guru. We are all important to each other and not only for the ones who we are close to physically or emotionally, because life is HAPPY, if we learn how to built it with the stones we get on the way, to built with what the context is offering, but above all by listening to our heart, knowing our true nature, having in love our trust and inspiration, finding the shelter in ourselves. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-US"&gt;And now feeling good with myself has allowed the arrival of later. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-US"&gt;Because one day, I knew that I had to go on my own so I could better know myself, to understand my fundamental values and how to put them in practice and live in accordance.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-US"&gt;I put on the red carpet so everybody can walk in.

Dão-lhe espaço. Depois de falar sozinha, as outras vozes juntam-se cada uma a seu tempo, todas em simultâneo, naquele exacto momento e rapidamente tudo continua... tudo flui.&lt;br /&gt;Adoro o silêncio que existe entre cada voz.&lt;br /&gt;A voz quando fala nunca diz a mesma coisa, ou até pode dizer a mesma coisa mas de maneira diferente. Às vezes nem importa se o que diz nao estava escrito assim, faz sentido e é sempre possível combiná-la com o que se fôr dizer a seguir. Balança-se entre momentos de estabilidade por breves instantes para voltar a desconcertar-se logo a seguir em direcção ao caos, à velocidade, ao fogo, à força da vida.&lt;br /&gt;O instrumental deixa livre a história que quer contar. A mensagem imaginamo-la nós.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sinto as vibrações do som, com os meus ouvidos, mas também com as minhas mãos, com o meu coração e as minhas memórias. A música traz-me memórias, excelentes memórias passadas.&lt;br /&gt;Descubro o talento de alguém que visivelmente dedicou muita atenção, muitas horas de trabalho a uma vocação que sabe claramente qual é. Essa é uma das melhores sensações, esse alinhamento com um talento orientador. Sincronizo com esse sentimento. Reconheço-o.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boa onda, muitas caras conhecidas, muito à vontade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O som é masculino. É sensual.Influenciado pela intensidade do toque, chegando a momentos de suavidade e leveza sustentados por harmonias que nos transportam a momentos paradisiacos.&lt;br /&gt;Piscar de olhos, gente bonita e a paixão comum pelo estilo musical mais complexo e difícil de executar com qualidade. O vôo vertiginoso da liberdade do improviso, só possível depois de muito conhecimento, prática, cumplicidade e disciplina.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gritei bravos ao Quarteto Júlio Resende na pequena sala do Teatro Mário Viegas.&lt;br /&gt;Senti vontade de escrever palavras para descrever a emoção que o som me provocava. O som do piano do Mário Laginha que foi sendo desenhado por António Jorge Gonçalves. E eu fui imaginando as palavras mudas, a expressão entre silêncios...&lt;br /&gt;Fui cativada pelo humor, entrega e sobriedade de Crosscurrents e Luis Lopes Humanization Quartet.&lt;br /&gt;Arrepiei a pele com o Carlos Bica Ensemble.&lt;br /&gt;Vibrei na festa final como se fizesse parte desta família.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estou a ouvir o Bica &amp;amp; Azul e a arrepiar-me de novo.&lt;br /&gt;O jazz é mesmo Hot.&lt;br /&gt;Parabéns ao jazz em Português! Temos uma excelente geração de novos talentos. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Que a vossa mágia nos continue a inspirar!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obrigada!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para os mais dístraídos deêm uma vista de olhos em &lt;a href="http://www.andrefernandes.com/"&gt;www.andrefernandes.com&lt;/a&gt;. e deliciem-se!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19358612-8796567509149440764?l=themadalchemist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/feeds/8796567509149440764/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19358612&amp;postID=8796567509149440764&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/8796567509149440764'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/8796567509149440764'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/2008/04/stand-by-me.html' title='STAND BY ME'/><author><name>ana castanheira</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10920150390064422321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3356/3886/1600/Ana01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19358612.post-2803371295939466821</id><published>2008-03-01T14:36:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-03-01T15:03:44.027-08:00</updated><title type='text'>No-body - Quando tudo o que faço se tornou um espelho de quem sou!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/R8nbHnKSAmI/AAAAAAAAAAM/jf-pj3s9hJ4/s1600-h/_2172405-1.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5172906570829398626" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/R8nbHnKSAmI/AAAAAAAAAAM/jf-pj3s9hJ4/s320/_2172405-1.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Desde Junho de 2006, depois de ter iniciado seriamente a minha jornada espiritual, que toda a minha percepção do mundo e do significado da vida mudou profundamente. Durante este último ano e meio, tenho procurado conjugar todo o meu conhecimento, todas as diferentes perspectivas e crenças, todas as dimensões do que fui, do que sou e do que quero ser.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Desde sempre senti que:&lt;br /&gt;1º - Para compreender as pessoas devo escutar o que elas não dizem, o que elas talvez nunca venham a dizer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2º- Só através do desapego material e emocional me sentiria segura e livre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3ª- Os gestos reflectem as nossas intenções mais profundas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A minha sabedoria soa a loucura!&lt;br /&gt;Procuro um modo de integrar tudo o que aprendi até hoje!&lt;br /&gt;Consigo alcançar a paz interior, permitindo-me ver o melhor de cada um.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Consigo manter essa atitude.&lt;br /&gt;Cheguei ao centro de mim, à minha essência.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estruturo os pensamentos, incorporo os sentimentos e consigo alcançar esse balanço entre pensar e agir.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uma longa estrada conduziu-me a este preciso precioso momento!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tenho agora a noção completa da minha missão e de como colocá-la em prática.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Com a minha recente participação num curso sobre facilitação de aprendizagem para educação de jovens, na República Checa, descobri finalmente, que tudo o que faço se tornou um espelho de quem sou.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fui TOTALMENTE INVISIVEL e ABSOLUTAMENTE PRESENTE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Senti uma total plenitude entre corpo-mente e espírito. Voei e sustentei a leveza do meu ser.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Revi-me através de todas as pessoas, encontrei a minha postura na forma como reagi aos desafios, deixei inundar-me pela maré de boa disposição.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No final desta experiência auto avalio:&lt;br /&gt;Ser capaz de focar no positivo, o riso tem um potencial criativo absolutamente surpreendente.&lt;br /&gt;Ser capaz de aceitar uma estrutura e de criar uma para mim.&lt;br /&gt;Ser capaz de enquadrar os meus valores, de desenvolver uma lógica, de transformar o meu sentido critico em acções e posturas capazes de serem entendidas em ambientes e ritmos diversos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fui ninguém, encontrei a minha VOZ e afinal é Sexy! Vou torná-la mais audível!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Irei para sempre relembrar esta maravilhosa sensação de auto controle, auto-consciência que me conduziu a um sentimento pleno de Liberdade e Felicidade!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Encontro-me no estado necessário para seguir em frente com o meu futuro profissional. Em breve mais notícias sobre a Casa da Felicidade – educação integrada para estilos de vida sustentáveis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obrigada a todos os voadores pela inspiração!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NO-BODY - &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WHEN EVERYTHING I DO BECOMES A MIRROR OF WHO I AM!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since June 2006, after seriously initiating my spiritual journey, my perception of the world and the significance of life changed deeply. During the last one year and half I’ve been strugling to put together my knowledge, my different perspectives and beliefs and all the dimensions of who I was, who I am and who I want to be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ve always felt that:&lt;br /&gt;1º - To understand people I should listen to what they don’t say, or to what they might never be able to say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2º- Only through material and emotional detachment I can feel free and safe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3ª- Gestures reflect your deeper intentions&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My wisdom sounds like crazyness!&lt;br /&gt;I search for a way of integrating everything I’ve learned until today!&lt;br /&gt;I manage to reach inner peace and allow myself to see the best in every person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I manage to maintain this attitude.&lt;br /&gt;I’ve arrived to my inner center, to my essence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I structure my details, I embody my feelings and manage to reach the balance between thoughts and acts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A long path has led me to this precise precious moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have now the complete notion of my mission and to put it in practice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With my recent participation on F.L.Y – Facilitating Learning for youth Training Course in Czech Republic, I’ve discovered finally that everything I do became a mirror of who I am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was TOTALLY INVISIBLE and ABSOLUTELY PRESENT!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ve felt a total plenitude of body-mind and spirit! I flied and felt the bearable lightness of my being!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I reviewed myself through all persons there, I’ve found my posture in the way I face challenges, I let myself drowning in the tide of the good vibes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the end of this experience I self assess:&lt;br /&gt;To be capable of focusing just on the positive, laughter has an absolutely astonishing creative potential.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To be capable of framing my values, of developing a logic, of transforming my critical sense in understandable actions and behaviors in diverse ambiences and rhythms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ve been NO-Body, and found out my VOICE and after all is SEXY! I intend to make it more audible!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ll forever remember this wonderful feeling of self control, self-consciousness that led me to a pure feeling of FREEDOM and HAPPINESS!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found myself in the necessary state of mind to follow with my professional future. Very soon, more news about the House of Happiness – integrated education for sustainable lifestyles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A special thanks to all FLIERS for your inspiration!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19358612-2803371295939466821?l=themadalchemist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/feeds/2803371295939466821/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19358612&amp;postID=2803371295939466821&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/2803371295939466821'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/2803371295939466821'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/2008/03/no-body-quando-tudo-o-que-fao-se-tornou.html' title='No-body - Quando tudo o que faço se tornou um espelho de quem sou!'/><author><name>ana castanheira</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10920150390064422321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3356/3886/1600/Ana01.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/R8nbHnKSAmI/AAAAAAAAAAM/jf-pj3s9hJ4/s72-c/_2172405-1.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19358612.post-2793319314220103121</id><published>2008-01-26T10:34:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-27T14:22:55.719-08:00</updated><title type='text'>IL POSTINO</title><content type='html'>O CARTEIRO DE PABLO NERUDA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Desde pequeno que escolho um local donde possa ter uma visão abrangente e daí, olho pacientemente todos os movimentos dos humanos que me rodeiam. Todos querem ter as mesmas coisas. Todos finjem não olhar. Todos classificam e etiquetam o mundo. Competem uns contra os outros. Não escutam. Atiram as suas dores às costas dos outros. E os piores são aqueles que pensam não estar a fazê-lo.&lt;br /&gt;Entrar no jogo sem pensar? Porque dão corda ao animal que vive dentro deles? Porque preferem ficar condicionados por acções e reacções dos outros? Porque querem controlar?&lt;br /&gt;Porque se fecham numa só dimensão?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Revejo, atento a paisagem, ouço o bater do meu coração e movo-me em direcção ao meu objectivo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interessante, parece que corro sempre sozinho e para coisas que ninguém dá importância. Mas gosto dessa sensação de correr, vou desenvolvendo músculo, agilidade e concentração. A sensação de liberdade é apaixonante, não possuo coisas nem pessoas, só saber e empatia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“quem procura com sinceridade não pode aceitar nenhuma doutrina, se quer sinceramente encontrar algo.” Siddartha – Herman Hesse&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adoro o Sol, espreguiço-me, estico-me, bocejo. Volto a fazer uma soneca. Sigo o meu ritmo.  Gosto de conhecer humanos diferentes. Vejo, antevejo os seus gestos, sinto se gostam  ou não de mim. Gosto quando são sinceros e amigáveis. Às vezes sentem-se ameaçados e por isso fingem que não me veêm ou tentam assustar-me ou pregar-me partidas. Outros param para fazer-me festas. Posso transparecer não precisar destas pessoas, mas sinto-me em casa a cada aconchego de alma, embora tenha de continuar a minha senda. Um conforto livre, uma liberdade confortante... Mas absolutamente presente e consciente.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adoro perder a consciência do tempo e ficar a ronronar. Há muito tempo, muito mais do que imaginamos, embora às vezes possa parecer que passa rápido. Isso é sinal que... ?  De olhos semi-cerrados arrumo os pensamentos da minha vida e entendo-os à luz de uma força mais intensa que a minha alma. Integro todas as dimensões o corpo, a mente, o espirito,as emoções, os outros, a natureza. Integro os saberes e as experiências.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parecendo estar sempre no mesmo sitio, alcanço simultaneamente partes mais profundas de mim e de quem me rodeia. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Não há limites de espaço, posso saltar de telhado em telhado, dizem que sou independente, mas o que não sabem é que à noite ao luar do telhado da minha casa vou dirigindo a minha vida, como se fosse um filme, e posso sempre decidir como quero o cenário e os personagens que fazem parte da minha realidade. Dirigindo a película, elaboro os diálogos certos, as emoções em sintonia, as condições adequadas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perspectivo e sei que tenho nas minhas mãos a capacidade de realizar um filme já visto ou de torná-lo um filme único.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A verdade magoa, por isso mentimos. Deixei de ser masoquista há tempo suficiente.&lt;br /&gt;Confrontado de novo com o mesmo medo de sempre, sou agora um realizador experiente. Conheço os meus erros,as minhas disputas, as minhas faltas. Sei das minhas vitórias, das minhas façanhas, das minhas orientações.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conheço o meu ritmo e as minhas limitações e decido libertar esse animal que vive dentro de mim.Pensando que fosse uma fera, descubro que é um manso gato, cuja única ambição é convidar mais pessoas a subir para cima do mesmo telhado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ganho coragem e pulo para o telhado da casa do vizinho. A liberdade emociona-me e acalma-me, transportando-me para novas inspirações de vida, onde enquadro tudo o que fui, e como vivi, e tudo o que gostaria de aprender e fazer pelos outros daqui em diante.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Os 2 últimos anos da minha vida trouxeram muito conhecimento a vários níveis. &lt;br /&gt;2007 foi dedicado a enquadrar todo esse conhecimento diverso, que tocou profundamente o meu espirito e a minha natureza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;À medida que me torno mais igual a mim mesmo, vou atraindo para mim, outros que sentem como eu. Que também um dia ousaram iniciar uma caminhada através das dimensões. O mais surpreendente é que, existem sempre muitas mais pessoas que pensam e sentem exactamente como nós, do que alguma vez imaginámos. Mas só temos o privilégio de encontrá-las, quando realmente somos capazes de abrir verdadeiramente o nosso coração.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Agora que me amo a mim, será inevitável amar-te a ti!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para sempre movida pela paixão e pela responsabilidade!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Miau!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;IL POSTINO / PABLO NERUDA’S POSTMAN&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since very early age, I prefer to choose a good spot where I can have an overview of the landscape and from there, I patiently watch all human movements. They all want the same. They all pretend they’re not looking. They all classify and put labels over everyone. They compete against each other! They don’t listen. They throw pain at each other’s back. And the worst are the ones who think are not doing it. &lt;br /&gt;Why entering the game without thinking? Why do people feed the animal inside themselves? Why do people prefer to stay conditioned by action and reactions of the others? Why this need of controlling?&lt;br /&gt;Why are these people closed in one dimension?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I relook, I focus again on the landscape, I hear my heartbeat and I move towards my objective.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s interesting it seems I’m always running alone and towards goals that nobody finds to be important. But I like this feeling of running; I’ve been developing muscle, agility and concentration. The feeling of freedom is impassioning, I don’t have things or people, only knowledge and empathy.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“who ever searches with sincerity cannot accept a doctrine, if really sincerely wants to find something” Siddartha – Herman Hesse&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love the sun, I stretch myself, I yawn. I return to sleep. I follow my rhythm.  I love to know different human beings. I see, I foresee their gestures, I feel if they like me or not. I like when they are sincere and friendly. Sometimes they feel menaced and pretend that don’t see me or try to frighten or trick me. Some stop to cuddle me. I may seem not needing people, but nevertheless I feel home in each caress of my soul, I’ve to continue my path. A free comfort, freedom of comfort. But I’m absolutely present and conscious.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love to loose conscience of time and rest miauing. There’s much more time that we imagine it exists, although sometimes it may seem it goes very fast…. What does it mean... ?  With half closed eyes I set in order the thoughts of a life time and understand them being enlightened by a stronger force than my soul. I integrate all dimensions body, mind, soul, emotions, the others, nature. I integrate knowledge and experiences. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By seeming to stand always on the same place, I reach simultaneous deeper parts of me and of the others. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There’s no space limits, I can jump from roof to roof!  They think I’m very independent. They don’t know that every night on the roof of my house I produce my life, as if it was a movie, and I can always decide about sceneries, characters that I want to have in my reality. Producing the movie, I do the right dialogues, the emphatic emotions and the adequate conditions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I put things in perspective and I know I have the ability of producing a commercial or an independent movie. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Truth hurts, that’s why we lie. But I have given up on masochism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frighten by the same old fear, I’m now an experienced producer. I know my mistakes, my disputes, my faults. I know about my victories, my strengths, my philosophical orientations. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know my rythm and my limitations and I decide to unleash the animal that lives insides me. Thinking I was a wild beast I found out I’m a quiet cat! A cat that just wants to invite people to see the view from the same roof!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I put together my courage and jump to the neighbours’ roof. Being free moves me and at the same time calms me down, transporting me to new inspirations for life, where I frame everything I was, how I lived and everything I I’d like to learn and do from now on. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last 2 years of my live have brought me new knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;2007 was dedicated to frame all diverse knowledge that deeply touched my spirit and my nature. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To the extent that I became equal to myself, I attract to me, others that feel and live like me. That one-day dared to initiate a journey through other dimensions. The most surprising is that we can always find more people that think and feel like us, then we ever imagined. But we only have the privilege of finding them when we are able to truly open our hearts. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that I love myself, I’ll inevitable love you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Forever moved by passion and responsibility!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Miau!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19358612-2793319314220103121?l=themadalchemist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/feeds/2793319314220103121/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19358612&amp;postID=2793319314220103121&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/2793319314220103121'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/2793319314220103121'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/2008/01/il-postino.html' title='IL POSTINO'/><author><name>ana castanheira</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10920150390064422321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3356/3886/1600/Ana01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19358612.post-2535360781575388006</id><published>2007-10-20T15:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-25T13:57:11.309-07:00</updated><title type='text'>E.T - THE EXTRA TERRESTRIAL</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNv6paaCMOI/AAAAAAAAADk/81y_zjsqhzM/s1600-h/malabarismo+com+fitas.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNv6paaCMOI/AAAAAAAAADk/81y_zjsqhzM/s320/malabarismo+com+fitas.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250065380000542946" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O alquimista está muito perto, cada vez mais perto de conseguir descobrir o segredo alquímico para a sua vida.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Este ano tem sido absolutamente fantástico, cheio de sentimentos bons e pacíficos, pleno de novos e profundos conhecimentos e experiências. Cheio de realizações.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tenho sentido que o mundo em meu redor, é apenas um cenário, onde eu posso ser chefe de realização e mudá-lo, interagir e relacionar-me com outros personagens como quiser.&lt;br /&gt;Tenho sentido que cada passo dado é um passo certo, e era mesmo por ali que queria ir.&lt;br /&gt;Tenho-me sentido tão confortável no cenário.&lt;br /&gt;Tenho sido encontrada.&lt;br /&gt;- Onde estiveste todo este tempo?&lt;br /&gt;- Aqui – respondo eu!&lt;br /&gt;Este ano já voei de bicicleta em frente ao luar,  em encontros com seres espaciais com os quais tracei o inicio de caminhos para galáxias inexploradas anteriormente. É bom acompanhar amigos no seu regresso a casa!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Já não me recordo da última viagem que tenha feito em grupo e me tenha perdido.&lt;br /&gt;Tenho viajado a maior parte das vezes sozinha, parto já perdida, e encontro-me depois em diferentes centros alienegenas.&lt;br /&gt;Às vezes nessas viagens, o extra terrestre também me visita!&lt;br /&gt;Por vezes não compreendo porque não parto com ele, porque não fica ele comigo, mas afinal quem é o extra-terrestre?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Decidi parar de viajar, ficar num lugar e deixar que me visites, que me queiras visitar e saibas onde me encontrar. Parar para poder dizer a mim mesma coisas que precisava de ouvir. Parar para ouvir os outros. Para abrir todas as caixas que trouxe das minhas viagens e todas as janelas da minha casa. Estender a mão e acenar dizendo “Estou Aqui!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muito cedo decidi que só iria parar quando me conhecesse bem a mim própria e soubesse o que queria fazer. Durante muito tempo, toquei mundos paralelos e senti compreender melhor quem era ao fazê-lo. Sinto que cheguei a casa!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Agora sei que poderia dar a volta ao mundo sozinha, poderia continuar a construir o meu projecto de vida sozinha, mas que justamente chegou o momento de partilhar tudo o que descobri, tudo o que quero continuar a descobrir e que o melhor da vida são justamente os momentos de partilha, sinergia e congregação com os outros.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Agora sei que podia andar muito rápido, podia adaptar-me facilmente a cada novo lugar, mas o meu ritmo é mais pausado, e o momento sei-o, sinto-o mais profundo para que possa apreciar o ar que respiro, a ideia que transpira, a emoção que se solta, a palavra que digo, que escrevo, mas sobretudo ter tempo, sentir que tenho todo o tempo do mundo para mim, para nós.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Todos temos uma peça dessa construção lindíssima da natureza que nasce quando o Sol e a chuva acontecem simultaneamente, tal como na vida real a luz de diferentes cores aparece sempre que equilibramos o certo e o errado. Em contínuo desenvolvimento conjunto temos hoje tudo o que precisamos para um processo alquímico global. Basta que acreditemos na célula mais básica e elementar que trazemos connosco -o amor, para que descobramos o ouro a cada passo que damos rumo ao fim do arco-íris.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ainda me lembro do gozo que me deu aprender sozinha a atar os atacadores das minhas botas, de experimentar, de não me prender, de observar bastante antes de agir, de tentar perceber diferentes modos de estar, de percepcionar vários níveis de realidade... Hoje dá-me gozo olhar para trás e perceber porquê, para quê e poder partilhá-lo com o mundo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Já plantei uma árvore, já escrevi um livro, ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Em 1982 fui pela primeira vez ao cinema e este foi o primeiro filme que vi.&lt;br /&gt;Ficou no coração.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AMOR.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ENGLISH VERSION&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;E.T. – THE EXTRA TERRESTRIAL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The alchemist is getting closer and closer of discovering the alchemic secret of his life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has been a fantastic year, full of peaceful feelings and enlightening deep knowledge and experiences. Full of Directed Actions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ve been feeling the world around me as just scenery where I can become the Director and change it, or interact and relate to the others as I please.&lt;br /&gt;I’ve been feeling each step is done with the right foot and takes me in the exact direction I wanted to go.&lt;br /&gt;I’ve been so confortable in this scenery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ve been found.&lt;br /&gt;- Where were you all this time?&lt;br /&gt;- Right here- I answered!&lt;br /&gt;This year I flew with my bicycle just up by the moonlight in encounters with spatial beings with which I started to trace ways to further unknown galaxies. It’s good to make company to your friends on their way home!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don’t remember if I felt lost in the last journey I’ve made with a group of people… Most of the times I’ve been travelling alone, already lost in departure and found afterwards in different alien sites.&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes during the journey is the alien that visits me!&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes I don’t understand why I never decided to go with him, or why he doesn’t stay with me. After all who’s the extra-terrestrial?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ve decided to stop travelling, to stay in a place and allow you to visit me, allow your wish to visit me and ease up your way to my home.&lt;br /&gt;To stop so I could say something to myself I really needed to listen to.&lt;br /&gt;To stop and to listen to the others.&lt;br /&gt;To open all my travel boxes and to open the windows of my house. To take my hand and wave, saying “I’m here!”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Very early in my life I’ve decided to stop only when I’d know myself better and would know what I wanted to do of my life. For a long time, I’ve touched parallel worlds and felt I could know myself better through it.&lt;br /&gt;I feel I’ve arrived home now!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nowadays I know I could travel around the world on my own, I could build my life project alone, but the moment of sharing has arrived. Of sharing everything I’ve discovered and all the rest I will discover from now on. The best in life is really all the sharing moments, the synergy and congregation with others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I know I could walk very fast, I could adapt very easily to a new place, but the rhythm of my heart has a softer pace and I recognize it. I want to feel it deeper so that I can appreciate the air I breath, pay attention to the upcoming idea, to the unleashed emotion, to the word I say, to the word I write, but more important to always feel I have all the time to myself, to us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We all have a piece of that beautiful natural building done by nature which appears when sun and rain come together, like in real life different rays of light show up when we manage a balance between right and wrong. In continuous group development we all have today all the tools we need for the alchemic global process. The first step is to believe in the basic and elemental cell we all bring in ourselves- love- so we can then discover gold on each step we do towards the end of the rainbow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still remember the feeling of joy when learning by myself how to tie my boots’ shoe lacers, of experimenting, of not attaching to people, of observing deeply before behaving, of trying to understand different ways of being, of viewing different layers of reality... Today it feels real good to look back and understand why, what for and be able to share these reasons with the world…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ve planted a tree, I’ve written a book...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1982 I went for the first time to the cinema and this was the first movie I saw. I guess it stayed forever in my heart…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LOVE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19358612-2535360781575388006?l=themadalchemist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/feeds/2535360781575388006/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19358612&amp;postID=2535360781575388006&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/2535360781575388006'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/2535360781575388006'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/2007/10/et-tehe-extra-terrestrial.html' title='E.T - THE EXTRA TERRESTRIAL'/><author><name>ana castanheira</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10920150390064422321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3356/3886/1600/Ana01.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNv6paaCMOI/AAAAAAAAADk/81y_zjsqhzM/s72-c/malabarismo+com+fitas.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19358612.post-692515707839692356</id><published>2007-06-03T16:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-25T13:51:49.334-07:00</updated><title type='text'>MATRIX - It's not this system.

Passion is the single emotion that makes us assume a compromise, by assuming it we discover the meaning of our existence and become responsible &amp;amp; conscious about our life project.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How many people know their passion?&lt;br /&gt;How many people are following it in this exact moment?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are body, mind, soul, emotions, aura and much more!&lt;br /&gt;With which depth do we know these perspectives of us and what can we make of them? In truth it’s not life that controls us, we control life!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, which percentage of us is controlled by the system?&lt;br /&gt;Do we live our entire life as agent 421?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The matrix dictates the co-ordinates of infinite possibilities that lead us to the same patterns, that don’t answer to the true needs of the individuals, that do not teach how to think by themselves, how to deal with emotions and how to relate with the others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like this, we are all swallowed by a fast rhythm, that makes us work too many hours per day, without having time for family, friends, community, nature, that tires us by its complexity and the pollution, that doesn’t allow us to sleep and rest enough healthy hours, that makes us run from one place to the other, without having the opportunity to make physical exercise, and without hearing the needs of our body, that makes us run to the cheapest supermarket or to the fast food next door to eat goods that already cross the world to arrive there loosing all its nutrition qualities and that are packed in thousand plastic, cans, card, paper, that makes us use the car, the motorbike, the plane only because we have to arrive fast, because we are in a hurry for that compromise.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BUT, HOW MANY HOURS YOU MISS PER DAY?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHY THAT HURRY? WHAT ARE THAT COMPROMISES THAT MAKE US LOOK WORRIED, IRRITATED AND LOST IN US?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AFTER ALL, WHO AM I?&lt;br /&gt;WHO DO I WANT TO BE?&lt;br /&gt;HOW DO I RELATE WITH THE OTHERS?&lt;br /&gt;WHAT’S MY PLACE IN THIS WORLD?&lt;br /&gt;WHAT CAN I DO TO ENJOY LIFE AS MUCH AS I DO?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To have time is a right!&lt;br /&gt;To think about the gestures we make and the reasons why we make them is a duty ?&lt;br /&gt;When was the last time that you embrace someone? How long you don’t smile? How long you don’t express what you really feel? When was the last time that you remember kissing someone with here &amp;amp; now conscience?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s possible to create another system.&lt;br /&gt;“It’s not this system. It’s another system!” Da Weasel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The consumption booming and material values, manipulated by information that rarely speaks the truth, commanded by the capitalist system.&lt;br /&gt;The perfect circuits made us avoid making certain questions.&lt;br /&gt;-Where does the breakfast cereal packages go after putting it in the trash?&lt;br /&gt;-Why people travel by plane in a small country or in Europe? Do I know what are the effects of thousand daily of planes on the environment?&lt;br /&gt;-Do I need this new t-shirt?&lt;br /&gt;-Why do I pass so many hours in front of a TV, watching soaps when I could be rotating my own movie?&lt;br /&gt;-Do I need this yogurt of tiramisu flavor?&lt;br /&gt;-Do I need this sun lotion for home tanning?&lt;br /&gt;-Why are my emotion dominated by a football match, where each player wins more in a month, more than the common mortal can win in a lifetime and why do I feed this circus, buying t-shirts, autographed balls and choosing eternally to miss other social appointments just to watch a football match?&lt;br /&gt;-Why these pair of shoes are cheaper on a Chinese store?&lt;br /&gt;-Do I need to use my car everyday to go to work?&lt;br /&gt;-When I go shopping why don’t I ask from where this product comes from, from what is made, how is it made and by whom?&lt;br /&gt;-Do I need to download music for free from the Internet?&lt;br /&gt;-Does it make sense to work 8 hours per day in front of a computer?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Is this what I really want for me?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Do I need to use messenger to talk with a friend when I can be flesh and blood with the person?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s so easy to loose track of what we are, if we don’t stop to ask it to ourselves or if what surrounds us is a part of our essence, of the way we need to express ourselves and the way we live or is it the way of agent 327?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Individualism and virtual communities exist so that the human being can enter in this process of getting to know better who is he, what needs and what really matters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People can speak about multiculturalism, can learn how to live in intercultural communities, but in the end people just enjoy the folk and create stigmas.&lt;br /&gt;Each individual to become a citizen should be allowed to give its contribution to the community, and that doesn’t depend of his background culture but of the openness and ability that the hosting community  has while valorizing its experience and knowledge, instead of questioning who is he, labelling from where it comes from and disable people of truly getting to know the other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;These and other questions about life in our days were raised in the I Congress of Animation, Arts and Therapies, that took place on 19 - 21 April in the beautiful village of Ponte de Lima - Portugal, candidate to Unesco heritage, (Do you know it? I seriously recommended it!), where more than 250 social workers, artists and therapists share experiences and find the potential of joining these forces for the well being of people. .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There’s no informal, non-formal or formal education. There’s Education!&lt;br /&gt;In this way, to be a social animator/youth worker is also to be paying attention to social and political circumstances. It’s not just to develop social competencies in the individual. Complexity and ambiguity of our days, leads us to a need of a more conscious intervention, the political statute needs to be returned to all inhabitants of this planet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Educate emotions, respect rhythms and health, teach how to share life with the others in a peaceful way, encouraging knowledge, initiative and change energy for resolution of problems and situations that live inside each person. Making believe that to be happy is attitude and it's possible to be happier than we thought. And this is political intervention!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Combination of cure, education and creativity are to me, as non-formal educator the secret for humanization of human beings of the XXI century. To be a non formal educator is much more than these projects with pre defined rules for intervention and predetermined time, it's much more than projects and polite reports on paper that are not solving effectively the social needs of a youngster that lives on a disadvantaged neighborhood and that are not activating a common youngster for a conscious and responsible future.&lt;br /&gt;Youth workers have a stronger potential as agents of peace and change by transforming Inactivity in activity, Unknowledge in knowledge, and Pessimism in Optimism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How?&lt;br /&gt;-Unblocking the creative process of each individual&lt;br /&gt;-Potencialize social competences that conduct the individual into action. We are not born citizens we become citizens.&lt;br /&gt;-Conducting the individual to a self-knowledge, knowledge of emotions and how to deal with them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s emotion that moves people! The gesture reflects an emotion, but also a personality and its knowledge. A gesture can be objective based in creativity or in knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;By becoming more conscious of the reasons of our emotions and our gestures, we can start a revolution, that revolution that everybody needs in life, that the world and nature are asking for.&lt;br /&gt;A silent revolution that only works with kindness in our hearts, tolerance and trust in us, in the others and gratitude to a greater force that everyday gives us energy to enjoy life, strength to work hard and attentively and intone with the other beings of universe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“CHANGE YOUR NUMBER, I’VE CHANGED MINE!&lt;br /&gt;CHANGE YOUR WORLD, I’VE CHANGED MINE!”&lt;br /&gt;Dumb worlds- Da weasel&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A smile is the only plant that we can seed in our soul that grows into love in our heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a free revolution! And it already started!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would you like to live beyond the matrix, without creating a new one?&lt;br /&gt;Make yourself responsible for your part!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNv2xcFjb8I/AAAAAAAAADU/5pfJMe9bzik/s1600-h/net-works+1.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 287px; height: 198px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNv2xcFjb8I/AAAAAAAAADU/5pfJMe9bzik/s320/net-works+1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250061119843954626" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MATRIX - NÃO É ESTE SISTEMA É OUTRO SISTEMA&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Se tens pressa, pára!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Viver o tempo plenamente significa seguir a nossa paixão. A paixão é a única emoção capaz de nos levar a assumir um compromisso, através do qual descobrimos a razão da nossa existência e nos responsabilizamos pela construção do nosso projecto de vida.&lt;br /&gt;Quantas pessoas sabem qual é a sua paixão?&lt;br /&gt;Quantas pessoas estão neste momento a segui-la?…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Somos corpo, mente, espírito, emoções, aura e muito mais! Com que profundidade conhecemos estas vertentes de nós e que uso podemos fazer delas! Na verdade, somos nós que controlamos a vida e não é a vida que nos controla a nós!…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Que percentagem de nós é controlada pelo sistema?&lt;br /&gt;Podemos viver uma vida inteira como agente 421?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A matriz dita as coordenadas com infinitas possibilidades que desembocam no mesmo lugar, que não respondem às verdadeiras necessidades do individuo, que não ensinam ninguém a pensar por si próprio, a saber lidar com as suas emoções e a saber relacionar-se com os outros.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Assim embrenhamo-nos todos num tempo rápido, que nos faz trabalhar demasiadas horas por dia ( sem tempo para a família, para os amigos, para os outros, para a comunidade., para apreciar a natureza), que nos cansa pela sua complexidade e poluição, que não nos deixa descansar/dormir o número de horas que seria saudável, que nos faz correr de um lado para o outro, sem darmos uma oportunidade para fazermos exercício físico e escutarmos as necessidades e o ritmo do nosso corpo, que nos faz correr para o supermercado mais barato ou para o fast food da esquina para comer alimentos que já correram mundo antes de chegarem ali, perdendo todas as suas qualidades nutrientes e que vêm embaladas em mil embalagens de plástico, de metal, de esferovite, de cartão e papel, que nos faz usar o carro, a mota, o avião, só para chegarmos mais rápido, porque temos pressa de chegar a um compromisso…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MAS AFINAL QUANTAS HORAS TE FALTAM NO DIA?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PORQUÊ ESSA PRESSA? QUAIS SÃO ESSES COMPROMISSOS QUE NOS FAZEM ANDAR COM AR PREOCUPADO, IRRITADOS COM OS OUTROS E SEM NOS SENTIRMOS BEM CONNOSCO PRÓPRIOS?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MAS AFINAL QUEM SOU EU?&lt;br /&gt;QUEM QUERO SER?&lt;br /&gt;COMO É QUE ME RELACIONO COM OS OUTROS?&lt;br /&gt;QUAL É O MEU LUGAR NO MUNDO?&lt;br /&gt;O QUE POSSO FAZER PARA DESFRUTAR DESTA VIDA TAL COMO DESEJO?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ter tempo é um direito!&lt;br /&gt;Pensar nos gestos que fazemos e nas razões pelas quais os fazemos é um dever!?&lt;br /&gt;Há quanto tempo não abraças alguém, há quanto tempo não ris, há quanto tempo não expressas o que sentes, há quanto tempo não beijas alguém com a consciência de que estás exactamente naquele momento a fazê-lo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;É possível criar um outro sistema.&lt;br /&gt;“Não é este sistema. È outro sistema!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O bombardear do consumismo e dos valores materiais, manipulados por uma informação que raramente fala a verdade, comandada por um sistema capitalista.&lt;br /&gt;Um círculo perfeito que nos faz evitar de perguntar:&lt;br /&gt;-Para onde vai esta embalagem de plástico dos cereais de pequeno almoço, depois de pô-la no lixo?&lt;br /&gt;-Porque é que se viaja de avião dentro de um pequeno país, dentro da Europa? Será que eu sei quais são os efeitos que os milhares de aviões diários provocam no ambiente?&lt;br /&gt;-Será que preciso desta t-shirt nova?&lt;br /&gt;-Porque passo tantas horas da minha vida a ver telenovelas, quando podia estar a rodar o meu próprio filme?&lt;br /&gt;-Será que preciso de comprar mais este iogurte com sabor a tiramisú?&lt;br /&gt;-Será que preciso deste creme para me bronzear em casa?&lt;br /&gt;-Porque é que a minha emoção é dominada por um jogo de futebol, em que cada jogador ganha muito mais num mês do que o comum dos mortais pode ganhar numa vida, e porque é que eu alimento esse circo, comprando as t-shirts, as bolas autografadas, e optando ciclicamente por faltar a outros eventos para ir ver um jogo?&lt;br /&gt;-Porque é que este par de sapatos é mais barato numa loja de chineses?&lt;br /&gt;-Será que preciso de ir todos os dias de carro sozinho para o emprego?&lt;br /&gt;-Quando vou às compras porque é que não me pergunto de onde vem determinado produto, de que é feito, como é que é feito?&lt;br /&gt;-Será que preciso de piratar este cd da internet?&lt;br /&gt;-Será que faz sentido ficar mais de 8 horas por dia em frente a um computador?&lt;br /&gt;-É mesmo isto que eu quero para mim?&lt;br /&gt;-Será que preciso de falar com um amigo através do messenger em vez de estar com ele?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;É fácil perder o rasto de quem somos, senão pararmos para o perguntar a nós mesmos, ou se muitas das coisas que nos rodeiam no dia a dia fazem parte da nossa essência, do modo de nos exprimirmos e de vivermos ou é a forma do agente 327?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O individualismo e as comunidades virtuais chegaram, para que o ser humano entre nesse processo de saber melhor quem é, que necessidades tem e o que afinal realmente lhe importa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fala-se da multiculturalidade, aprende-se a viver interculturalmente, mas caí-se na estigmatização, na folclorização das culturas.&lt;br /&gt;Cada individuo para que possa tornar-se um cidadão deve poder dar o seu contributo para a comunidade, e isso não depende da cultura que traz consigo quando emigra e passa a viver numa nova comunidade., mas da abertura e capacidade da própria comunidade que o recebe, valorizar a sua experiência e conhecimento, em vez de questionar quem é, rotular donde vem e de se incapacitar de conhecer o outro verdadeiramente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estas e outras questões sobre a vida nos nossos dias foram colocadas durante o I Congresso de Animação, Artes e Terapias, que se realizou de 19 a 21 de Abril na belíssima vila de Ponte de Lima, candidata a património da Unesco, (Conhecem? Recomendo vivamente!), onde mais de 250 animadores, artistas e terapeutas partilharam experiências e discutiram sobre o potencial da sua acção conjunta para o bem estar das pessoas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Não existe educação informal, não formal e formal, existe Educação. Deste modo, ser animador é estar atento às circunstâncias sociais e políticas. Não é apenas desenvolver competências sociais no individuo. A complexidade e ambiguidade dos nossos dias, conduz-nos a uma intervenção mais consciente, há que devolver o estatuto político a cada um dos habitantes deste planeta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Educar as emoções, fazer respeitar os ritmos e a saúde, ensinar a partilhar a vida com os outros de modo pacifico, a encorajar o conhecimento, a iniciativa e a força de mudança para a resolução dos problemas e situações que vive em cada individuo, a fazer acreditar que ser feliz é uma atitude, e é possível sermos mais felizes do que julgamos. Esta intervenção é política!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A combinação da cura, educação e criatividade são para mim, enquanto animadora sócio cultural o segredo para a humanização dos seres humanos do século XXI. Ser animador socio cultural é muito mais do que programas de apoio com tempo e regras de intervenção definidas, é mais do que projectos e relatórios bonitos para o papel, que não estão a resolver efectivamente as carências sociais de um jovem que viva num bairro desfavorecido, e que não estão a activar o jovem comum para um futuro consciente e responsável em tempos de globalização e aquecimento glocal. Os animadores sócio-culturais têm um potencial enquanto agentes da paz e da mudança, transmutando Inactividade em actividade, Desconhecimento em conhecimento, Pessimismo em Optimismo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Como?&lt;br /&gt;-Desbloqueando o processo criativo de cada individuo&lt;br /&gt;-Potencializando as competências sociais que conduzem o individuo à acção. Não se nasce cidadão, tornamo-nos cidadãos.&lt;br /&gt;-Conduzindo o individuo a um auto-conhecimento de si, das suas emoções e de como lidar com elas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;É a emoção que move uma pessoa. O gesto reflecte uma emoção, mas também a personalidade e os seus conhecimentos. Um gesto pode ser objectivo baseado no conhecimento ou criativo.&lt;br /&gt;Ao tornarmo-nos conscientes das razões das nossas emoções e dos nossos gestos, podemos iniciar a revolução que precisamos nas nossas vidas, que o mundo e a natureza nos estão a pedir...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uma revolução silenciosa, que apenas funciona, se houver bondade no coração, tolerância e confiança em nós e nos outros, gratidão a uma força maior que todos os dias nos dá energia para desfrutarmos da vida, ânimo para trabalhar árdua e atentamente e sintonia com todos os seres do universo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O sorriso é a única planta que se semeia na alma, e que desenvolve e faz crescer amor no coração.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gostariam de viver para além da matriz, sem criar outra matriz?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esta revolução é gratuita! Já começou!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“MUDA O TEU NÚMERO, EU MUDEI O MEU!&lt;br /&gt;MUDA O TEU MUNDO, EU MUDEI O MEU!”&lt;br /&gt;Mundos mudos- Da weasel&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19358612-692515707839692356?l=themadalchemist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/feeds/692515707839692356/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19358612&amp;postID=692515707839692356&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/692515707839692356'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/692515707839692356'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/2007/06/matrix-outro-sistema-no-este-sistema.html' title='MATRIX - It&apos;s not this system.

CHOOSE A JOB. CHOOSE A CAREER. CHOOSE A FAMILY. CHOOSE A FUCKIN BIG TELEVISION. CHOOSE WASHING MACHINES, CARS, COMPACT DISC PLAYERS AND ELECTRICAL TIN OPENERS… CHOOSE DIY AND WONDERING WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE ON A SUNDAY MORNING. CHOOSE SITTING ON THAT COUCH WATCHING MIND-NUMBING, SPIRIT CRUSHING GAME SHOWS, STUFFING JUNK FOOD INTO YOUR MOUTH. CHOOSE ROTTING AWAY AT THE END OF IT ALL, PISHING YOUR LAST IN A MISERABLE HOME, NOTHING MORE THAN AN EMBARRASSMENT TO THE SELFISH, FUCKED UP BRATS YOU SPAWNED TO REPLACE YOURSELF. CHOOSE YOUR FUTURE.CHOOSE LIFE… BUT WHY WOULD I WANT TO DO A THING LIKE THAT?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember when I first saw television , it was black and white... in the late 70’s I’d go for holidays to my grandparents countryside house in the Center of Portugal with no bathroom, just a wood house with a hole to use for our basic needs. To wash ourselves we would warm up some water in the stowe, this water was coming from the village’s fountain, there was no electricity in the house and at night we would use some candles or petrol lamps to read, to sow, to play cards, to talk…  This was the scenery 7 years after the revolution.&lt;br /&gt;Portugal had a dictator that kept the country undeveloped, forbiding people to think and speak of whatever was different to his ideology. His followers were kick off from the Government 14 months after my birth on the 25th of April 1974.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember as a child feeling unconfortable when my teacher would beat us when we did mistakes or knocking with my colleague’s head on the blackboard because he had difficulties to learn and he was the only black person in the classroom!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember that the same teacher would discriminate the most intelligent and bright colleagues, also the ones that had more money to buy nice exercise books and pens.&lt;br /&gt;I remember being afraid of asking her to go to the bathroom.&lt;br /&gt;I remember feeling different and alone.&lt;br /&gt;I remember then making friendships with and support the excluded ones. Since then I kept within myself this feeling and concern towards the different people..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember being discriminated by other children because I dressed differently as my family didn’t have much money… Sometimes my mother or someone known would do me a dress or a new piece of clothes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I felt differently allthroughout my adolescence and I didn’t believe in belonging to a group if bellonging would mean to do somethings that i didn’t believe in, just because everybody does it or you look cool to others’ eyes if you do it.&lt;br /&gt;I remember enjoying diversity of friends, of worlds, of knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;I remember being interested in so many different topics that I didn’t felt good enough in any.So I kept on going reasearching people!&lt;br /&gt;I remember not understanding hierarchies and the reasons of its existence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember not understanding formalities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember deciding to start to work with 18 years old so that I could pay my university studies.&lt;br /&gt;I remember analysing and testing people with my appearance, i’d enter in a fancy clothes house wearing jeans with holes and I’d receive a rude treatment if I’d enter in the same shop with formal clothes I’d receive a nice treatment&lt;br /&gt;I remember my silence was sometimes not confortable to others.&lt;br /&gt;I remember that my nonformality was sometimes not confortable to others.&lt;br /&gt;I remember how much the world didn’t notice me but I was happy with that, as we have so many egos playing and stealing a place on the world’s life stage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember started to study &amp;amp; do my university written work with type writers, I remember started to work with very basic computers, when I look back 15 years I feel astonished by the evolution of technology.&lt;br /&gt;During University I didn’t understand colleagues that would try to take advantage of you and make you work for them in teamprojects, That did the course, copying, cheating and not being able to think for themselves or even worrying about responsabilities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember buying my first record with my first salary…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember having strong beliefs and being faithful to them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember how my feelings were always passionated and strong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember not being attached to matterial things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember having deep considerations about the true meaning of life and thinking that there should be more than studying, finding a job, a boyfriend, getting married, having children...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember never being happy enough with myself and with the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember being too much sensitive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Something was not right. I always wanted something different. Something else. As my mother says the things that are important to me are not important to the others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So there were many things that I could never explain and I’ll never will. Logic has its limits, but actions can express a lot about your life philosophy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since early age I understood I would never look for recognition, I’d never nourish my ego. But still it has been a difficult fight but now it’s the moment to announce the biggest victory of my life: the death of my ego some weeks ago on the 5th of March of 2007. I feel now in sintony with myself &amp;amp; with the world!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many persons helped me with such small gestures or words that had made me think during this long hard and painful process of reaching my inner peace and my real freedom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Someone I knew recently helped me to discover that loving yourself and the others is not enough as you are part of a wider perspective and we all need absolutely to reconnect our spirits with nature &amp;amp; world through unconditional love energy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another very special person gave me the last pieces of my puzzle, triggering my mind about the meaning of my daily routine gestures and the reasons behind them, conducting me to reflect on the meaning of the pratice of love in action in our real world...&lt;br /&gt;And all this enlighted contributions made me complete officially the philosophy of the house of happiness project.. My very new professional &amp;amp; life project that puts together personal, community and sustainable development. Integrated knowledge &amp;amp; life experience for everybody!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“THE FUTURE IS NOT SOME PLACE WE ARE GOING BUT ONE WE ARE CREATING.&lt;br /&gt;THE PATHS ARE NOT TO BE FOUND BUT MADE.&lt;br /&gt;AND THE ACTIVITY OF MAKING THEM CHANGES BOTH MAKER AND THEIR DESTINATION.”&lt;br /&gt;JOHN SCHAAR. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And this was one of the most beautiful springs of my life!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19358612-4370521598672521373?l=themadalchemist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/feeds/4370521598672521373/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19358612&amp;postID=4370521598672521373&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/4370521598672521373'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/4370521598672521373'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/2007/03/trainspotting.html' title='TRAINSPOTTING'/><author><name>ana castanheira</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10920150390064422321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3356/3886/1600/Ana01.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNv0xbfkoEI/AAAAAAAAADE/GCHpKPKRpU8/s72-c/img046.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19358612.post-6076617223100953380</id><published>2007-02-05T06:21:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-09-25T13:23:54.138-07:00</updated><title type='text'>FIGHT CLUB</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvy8T-cKzI/AAAAAAAAAC8/9-1ou4PWbcA/s1600-h/2006_1210Image0089.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 201px; height: 268px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvy8T-cKzI/AAAAAAAAAC8/9-1ou4PWbcA/s320/2006_1210Image0089.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250056908598684466" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fight inside me continues while I’ve been trying to land my soul and adapt to my new old life again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Almost 2 months have past after my return but I still  feel that the second person in me is not happy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe as a Leonardo trainee I’ve lived all the phases and challenges I was entitled to. Also these times of changing are part of a bigger process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thousand ideas cross my mind but at a point I realized I was again driven away by the unsenseless rhythm of work routine…I tried to open so many doors at the same time that I almost forget to breath… A wise decision came then into my mind reminding me how time for reflexion was so important and significant during the 2nd semester of 2006 while living in Italy.&lt;br /&gt;Somehow now I miss that state of mind and life quality where I could be in constant contact with nature, where I had time to cook my meals, where I could sleep, read and relax.&lt;br /&gt;So in these 2 months I was almost jumping off the cliff, getting edges way from my alchemist mission in pursuit of a deepest way of being happy, and substituting my deepest thoughts and feelings by my usual spirit “everything is all right” and “I can adapt to it” philosophy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then I realized I was returning to the same nightmare that made me want to go to Italy, and how much decision is a missing process in my life. I’ve been living happily with things that appear on my way but hardly closing past doors or the ones that I cannot enter, as I cannot cross them all at the same time…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That made me sit down again with some of my phantoms, but out of these complex conversations I understood that they are becoming more friendly and fun. Maybe I can already say that they are becoming my spiritual guides!!!&lt;br /&gt;They are helping me to understand how much in fact I did learn in the last year, how much can I do with my recent achievements, how much energy and happiness I carry with me everyday and that I shouldn’t try to make all changes at the same time because it’s not only extremely tiring but also there are some changes that you just have to let them act in yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a list of how many things I’ve done in 2 months after my return:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-got back to my old job at my youth association but changing roles now I’m using my public relations degree to establish a new communication strategy for Rota Jovem, I’m coordinating the team that will organize the 15th Years of the Association celebrations, I’ve used Open Space Technology in one meeting, I’m delivering some predeparture, onarrival trainings for Leonardo trainees and European volunteers, and I’ll be assuming gradually the coordination of EVS projects in my organization;&lt;br /&gt;-looked for new job proposal and got it and then I had to decide what to do if changing or staying;&lt;br /&gt;-I’ve had the opportunity to develop my personal development project cooperative or company, still evaluating pro’s and con’s of both options. Look for financing and partners that would like to do it with me.&lt;br /&gt;-I’ve participated in a training of Indian Head Massage, so after some practice, I’ll be able to work professionally with this.&lt;br /&gt;-I’ve participated in training course for Laughter Yoga facilitators, which is now giving its first steps in Portugal, so I felt somehow like a pioneer and now I’ve to decide how far do I want to go with this but it seems its going to be one of my priorities.&lt;br /&gt;-I’ve returned to my reiki sharing sessions and I’m starting some classes for I’d like to use it in a deeper way with other persons&lt;br /&gt;-I’ve returned to my hidrogym classes, I’ve to confess that I became a fan of the Italian method.&lt;br /&gt;-I’ve done some serious research and reflexion about moving into Lisbon but I decided its not a priority and so future will tell.&lt;br /&gt;-I got a new laptop and now I’ve wireless internet from home which eventually will ease my comunications and contacts worldwide.&lt;br /&gt;-And on the end of February I’ll do a presentation in my organization about my experience in Calabria, I’m starting to prepare it…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Am I crazy or what? Can I work more? Is this normal? Why do I have so many interests ? What do they mean? Why I cannot dive into one ocean and feel it as mine? Why do I fear my decisions?&lt;br /&gt;The main reason I fear is because I’m afraid of being free!…&lt;br /&gt;Stability versus Liberty is one of the main dilemmas of humanity, but it has been one of the main ones in my life… Never truly feeling none of the extremes, but maybe the solution is about being happy by balancing these ideal situations… But then if its.. why in hell do I not feel happy ?…&lt;br /&gt;Objective for 2007 is to be free of complexity in my mind and crazy daily routine rythm !!!&lt;br /&gt;Bye Bye Brad Pitt, hello Edward Norton…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19358612-6076617223100953380?l=themadalchemist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/feeds/6076617223100953380/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19358612&amp;postID=6076617223100953380&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/6076617223100953380'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/6076617223100953380'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/2007/02/fight-club.html' title='FIGHT CLUB'/><author><name>ana castanheira</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10920150390064422321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3356/3886/1600/Ana01.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvy8T-cKzI/AAAAAAAAAC8/9-1ou4PWbcA/s72-c/2006_1210Image0089.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19358612.post-8835873742419627237</id><published>2007-01-03T09:48:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-09-25T13:01:58.771-07:00</updated><title type='text'>PLATOON</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvuI_MI9KI/AAAAAAAAACc/pGu-NShaveE/s1600-h/img050.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 301px; height: 206px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvuI_MI9KI/AAAAAAAAACc/pGu-NShaveE/s320/img050.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250051628799161506" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I think now as I’m looking back we did not fought the enemy, we fought ourselves and the enemy was in us.&lt;br /&gt;The war is over for me now but I always be there for the rest of my days!”- Platoon&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2006 made me dive into my inner world and found out that the biggest war I face is the one I make with myself. We are nothing but mirrors reflecting our needs and emotions…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With 33 years old some people think they are going to die just like Jesus Christ or world famous artists. I felt I had to initiate a changing circle…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-I learnt so many precious things by putting my expectations to zero, by starting over in a new culture, by putting the emphasis not on doing but on the understanding of whys and moods.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-I learnt to rationalize my emotions instead of emotionalise my reasons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-I learnt about balancing my mental, spiritual, body and emotional aspects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-I learnt about the real simple things that make my life important.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-I’ve awaken my sense of humour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-I’ve enjoyed how being different (myself) can be fun!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-I learnt that expressing my opinion and my emotions is good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-I could understand where my passions and motivations lay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-I believe in myself and my ability to move forward in quality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-I’m responsible for my daily life decisions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-I have new professional interests: self development project house of happiness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But coming back home was also part of the intercultural experience process. For me it was not easy to return to the same when you feel you’ve changed so much. For a moment I asked myself if I should continue this travel to a different part of the world but the answer is simpler and basically connected to how do I travel in myself, meaning how can I use now all I’ve learnt and proceed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Answering the how was it question was very complex, all I know is that troubles are meant to make us better not bitter and maybe for the first time in my life this was absolutely what happened.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In our complex routine we don’t have time to fully debrief the complexity of our world and to analyse our reactions. Most of the answers to our complaints are in us. I advice everybody that never had an experience of living out of own country to do it, because its absolutely revealing.&lt;br /&gt;In our complex world we don’t give time for ourselves to relax, to laugh, to socialize and to really appreciate the gift of life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lisbon greeted me with warm rays of light, my friends greeted me with the warmth of their hearts and hugs, I got goose skin when I first walked downtown Lisbon and shared the multicultural spirit and the happiness of this season on the streets.&lt;br /&gt;Cascais where I work and the district where I live greeted me with songs from the Portuguese pop band I used to work some years ago. This scenery made me recognize that my traveller’s soul belongs just to one place: Portugal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let 2007 give you the things you know you need and also the ones that you don’t know!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;…I’m reborn!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“If you judge people you don’t have time to love them” Theresa of Calcuta&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19358612-8835873742419627237?l=themadalchemist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/feeds/8835873742419627237/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19358612&amp;postID=8835873742419627237&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/8835873742419627237'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/8835873742419627237'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/2007/01/platoon.html' title='PLATOON'/><author><name>ana castanheira</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10920150390064422321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3356/3886/1600/Ana01.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvuI_MI9KI/AAAAAAAAACc/pGu-NShaveE/s72-c/img050.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19358612.post-6722621685182582408</id><published>2006-12-05T02:01:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-09-25T13:16:42.513-07:00</updated><title type='text'>CARO DIARIO</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvwAJnyANI/AAAAAAAAACk/HojMka9IGvw/s1600-h/2006_1210Image0083.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 277px; height: 208px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvwAJnyANI/AAAAAAAAACk/HojMka9IGvw/s320/2006_1210Image0083.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250053676003885266" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I’m not the kind of person to count the days to end of the calendar, I decide to do something!&lt;br /&gt;Between smiles and tears, and saudades that I transform in thousand ideas for after and after taking this experience as a spiritual retreat...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In truth, when the scenery around us is aggressive and uncomfortable the only thing you can do is to work on your self esteem and unconditional love. But it’s still not easy to be alone and do it...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I arrived here in Italy with some questions in my head, among them: do I have the needed skills for developing my job; do I have the energy to give without knowing if tomorrow will be there, as in the social business your work depend on the approval of projects, and there’s never the financial security for allowing you to do a better and deeper job…; do I want to continue in this path knowing what are the conditions? Are there anyother ways for me?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I’m on a dead end I like to make it even harder in order to see what I’m really able to do. That made me choose to come here to the isolated disadvantaged mountains of Aspromonte.&lt;br /&gt;When I arrived I wrote something like this: I want to reach the top of my own mountain and from there to be able to see myself clearer at distance and simultaneously in detail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I ended up into a completely unknown and very specific local reality: the one that these people here have to deal with, living from the predecessors heritage, that among rich and poor people for many diverse causes, choosed to bring organized crime into their lifes. A place where nowadays is difficult to establish the limit of what’s is Mafia or local culture. The system is implemented at all levels, administration, political, economical and this system is much more stronger and closer than a state called Italy.&lt;br /&gt;A bright trick, this for the ones passing by not to understand where does one world starts or finishes, in a land where is important to play the smart wolf, where the culture of silence commands communication- I don’t know, I didn’t see, I didn’t hear-, where the unknown and the foreigner don’t seem to have a place, where not far from here the family with children in the school age receive money from the state to attend school –la paghetta, in this way motivating children’s education instead of easy going culture of starting to climb the stairs of the Godfather’s house.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of this exists, and a lot more that is not said, or able to be seen, not only here in Italy but all over in many countries of Europe and the world: Life Stories of people with lack of freedom, facing unfair situations, intolerance, greed, fears, unhappiness, manipulation, conservative thinking, closed perspectives and all other social and human diseases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sad reality like this one, made me found in myself the answers to my initial questions and so many others that arise all throughout the process.&lt;br /&gt;I have new questions to take with me now, that were impossible to have if I didn’t came here...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I discover that I can use my sensitiveness, my knowledge and my life experience focusing on the basic question behind all questions and that is:&lt;br /&gt;To place unconditional love, peace and happiness in people’s life!&lt;br /&gt;Soon you’ll know more about my new life project “the house of happiness”!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the way to my orange couch, I’ll take with me:&lt;br /&gt;-the view over the Etna in ebullition during night designing orange roads in the middle of the sky or in the end of the afternoon with coloured rainbow degradé on the background, seen from my terrace;&lt;br /&gt;-the silence that allowed me to felt asleep and wake up to the sound of sea waves;&lt;br /&gt;-the darkness that allowed me to see stars;&lt;br /&gt;-the paintings and the personality of my friend Gós;&lt;br /&gt;-the (in)formal conversations with Paul, Peter and Paola, and many enlightments that I had from their words;&lt;br /&gt;-to see growing up smiles of Lucas and Simone (sons of Paola and Peter, with more a less 3 years and 1,5 year old respectively);&lt;br /&gt;-the fabulous meals in Pentedatillo’s Degusteria sponsored by the talented hands of my friends Simona and Pascoale;&lt;br /&gt;-tarantela (la vita nera) balls;&lt;br /&gt;-brioche with icecream ;&lt;br /&gt;-my siesta time;&lt;br /&gt;-the beach for myself and the possibility of swimming on the 20th November;&lt;br /&gt;-acquagym classes where i could loose 1 kilo in 1 hour;&lt;br /&gt;-the friendship of Dana, one of most calm and sweet dogs I’ve ever known that made me company. This smart Dutch dog that could understand all languages!!!&lt;br /&gt;-my old Piaggio, “war” companion;&lt;br /&gt;-and a tree planted by myself!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to all the persons that made this experience possible here in Annà di Melito di Porto Salvo, Associazione Pro Pentedatillo and specially to my host organization Pame Ambro, my organization in Portugal and Ana that replaced me bravely during these 6 months, my parents (taking care of my burocracy), my family and all my old and new dear friends for the support !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For sure was a one life occasion to give me time to reflect, to open and reinforce my beliefs, myself and what I do and how do it! I can now recognize how much I’ve accomplished before coming here and I’m surely very happy to return to all of it!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The inner travel has modified me and it doesn’t arrive to the end with me returning home, it will continue forever…leading me and whom is around to deeper and wider places… From a highest point of “Five Fingers Mountain” I’m now able to see the world with a clearer perspective and to place myself on the next road…&lt;br /&gt;Marco, I’ve opened the door!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hello!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S: Nanni Moretti’s “Caro diario”, is one of my favourite italian movies- Italy seen from the Director perspective while ridding a Vespa motorbike in Rome.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvw2DROxbI/AAAAAAAAACs/SIMpVQE5Th4/s1600-h/2006_1210Image0104.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 275px; height: 207px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvw2DROxbI/AAAAAAAAACs/SIMpVQE5Th4/s320/2006_1210Image0104.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250054602011624882" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;CARO DIARIO&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Não sou pessoa de contar os dias para o fim do calendário, resolvo arregaçar as mangas e tentar fazer alguma coisa.&lt;br /&gt;Entre sorrisos e lágrimas, e as saudades que se vão transformando em mil ideias para depois, vou seguindo o meu retiro espiritual.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Em verdade, quando o cenário que nos rodeia é agressivo e desconfortável a única coisa a fazer é trabalhar a nossa auto-estima e amor próprio. Não foi fácil estar sozinha e consegui-lo...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheguei com muitas questões na cabeça, entre elas: se tenho as competências suficientes para fazer o trabalho que faço; se fazer um trabalho de educação é viver todos os dias na corda bamba, vivendo da insegurança da aprovação ou não de projectos, quando nós sociedade civil estamos a educar e a fazer um trabalho que nenhum governo consegue fazer e podíamos ir muito mais além se nos dessem uma estrutura financeira estável; se quero continuar ou não por este caminho sabendo quais são as condições, se devo seguir outro caminho...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quando me encontro em becos sem saída, gosto de procurar um desafio maior para ver o que sou capaz de fazer. Foi isso que me fez vir aqui às Montanhas isoladas e desfavorecidas do Aspromonte.&lt;br /&gt;Quando cheguei escrevi qualquer coisa como isto: Quero chegar ao topo de mim mesma e daí poder ver-me melhor tanto à distância como em pormenor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deparei-me com uma realidade local desconhecida e muito particular: que é esta da cultura dos antepassados de quem aqui vive hoje, entre pobres ou ricos, por razões diversas, nasce o crime organizado. Onde hoje é difícil estabelecer o limite entre o que é a Mafia ou o que é a cultura local. Implementado o sistema a todos os níveis, do administrativo ao político, ao económico, este tem mais força que um Estado chamado Itália. Um truque inteligente, este de quem por aqui passar não perceber onde começa uma coisa e acaba a outra, numa terra onde é importante fare il furbo, onde é importante a cultura do silêncio- não sei, não vi, não conheço-, onde o desconhecido ou estrangeiro não tem lugar, onde não muito longe daqui as famílias das crianças que forem à escola recebem uma bolsa do Estado, para que se incentive a educação das crianças, em vez da cultura fácil local as aliciar a começar a subir as escadas da casa do Padrinho.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tudo isto existe, e muito mais que fica por dizer não só aqui em Itália, mas também por muitos outros países da Europa e do Mundo: Histórias de vidas de pessoas, de faltas de liberdade, de injustiças, de intolerâncias, de ganâncias, de medos, de infelicidade, de conservadorismo, mentes fechadas e manipulação e de tantas outras doenças sociais e humanas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uma realidade assim triste, fez-me encontrar em mim mesma as respostas às perguntas iniciais e a tantas outras que entretanto me foram surgindo.&lt;br /&gt;Outras perguntas tenho que senão tivesse aqui vindo não levava comigo...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Descobri que posso usar a minha sensibilidade, o meu conhecimento e a minha experiencia de vida focando na questao basica por detras de todas as outras e que é:&lt;br /&gt;Colocar amor incondicional, paz e felicidade na vida das pessoas!&lt;br /&gt;EM breve vao ouvir falar do meu novo projecto de vida  “a casa da felicidade”!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A caminho do meu sofá côr de laranja, não vou esquecer:&lt;br /&gt;-a vista para o Etna em ebulição à noite, traçando estradas laranja no meio do céu, ou ao fim da tarde com degradé de cores do arco íris em fundo, tudo visto em primeiro plano do meu terraço;&lt;br /&gt;-o silêncio que me permitia adormecer e acordar ao som das ondas do mar;&lt;br /&gt;-a escuridão que me permitia ver as estrelas e a lua;&lt;br /&gt;-os quadros e a personalidade da minha amiga Gós,&lt;br /&gt;-as conversas (in)formais com os meus “colegas” Paul, Peter e Paola em que se de repente se fazia luz;&lt;br /&gt;-ver crescer os sorrisos do Lucas e do Simone (os filhos da Paola e do Peter, com 3 anos e 1,5 ano de idade respectivamente );&lt;br /&gt;-os fabulosos repastos calabreses da Degusteria de Pentedatillo pela mão dos meus amigos Simona e Pascoale;&lt;br /&gt;-os bailes de Tarantela (ou mais correctamente La Vita Nera);&lt;br /&gt;-os brioches com gelado;&lt;br /&gt;-a praia só para mim, mergulhando no mar a 20 de Novembro;&lt;br /&gt;-as aulas de acquagym em que se perdia 1 quilo em cada aula;&lt;br /&gt;-a minha amiga Dana um dos cães mais tranquilos e meigos que conheci e que me fez bastante companhia, esta inteligente cadela holandesa que percebia todas as línguas;&lt;br /&gt;-a minha velha Piaggio, companheira de guerra;&lt;br /&gt;-e a arvore que plantei!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Agradeço a todas as pessoas que tornaram esta experiência possível aqui em Anná di Melito Porto Salvo, à Associação ProPentedatillo, à Associação que me acolheu Pame Ambro, à minha organização em Portugal e à Ana que me substituiu corajosamente durante estes 6 meses, aos meus pais (que me foram tratando da burocracia), à minha família e aos meus velhos e novos queridos amigos pelo apoio moral!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tenho a certeza que esta foi uma ocasião única na vida que me deu tempo para reflectir, para abrir e reforçar aquilo em que acredito, a mim mesma e o que faço e como o faço! Posso agora reconhecer o quanto já construí e estou muito feliz de poder voltar para tudo isso!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A viagem interior com um profundo nível de consciência modificou-me e não chega ao fim com o meu regresso a casa, acompanhar-me-à para sempre continuando a conduzir-me a locais profundos dentro de mim e de quem me rodeia!&lt;br /&gt;Do alto da “Montanha dos Cinco dedos” consigo ver agora o Mundo numa perspectiva muito mais vasta e qual é a Estrada que vou seguir...&lt;br /&gt;Marco, abri a porta!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvxhS442pI/AAAAAAAAAC0/qQxZopvhPKA/s1600-h/2006_1213Image0001.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 273px; height: 205px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvxhS442pI/AAAAAAAAAC0/qQxZopvhPKA/s320/2006_1213Image0001.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250055344938867346" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Caro diário de Nanni Moretti, é um dos meus filmes italianos preferidos, que faz uma viagem por uma Itália, vista a partir da perspectiva original directamente da Vespa do próprio realizador.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19358612-6722621685182582408?l=themadalchemist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/feeds/6722621685182582408/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19358612&amp;postID=6722621685182582408&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/6722621685182582408'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/6722621685182582408'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/2006/12/caro-diario_05.html' title='CARO DIARIO'/><author><name>ana castanheira</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10920150390064422321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3356/3886/1600/Ana01.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvwAJnyANI/AAAAAAAAACk/HojMka9IGvw/s72-c/2006_1210Image0083.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19358612.post-6648763109283737054</id><published>2006-11-22T08:44:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-09-25T12:57:51.179-07:00</updated><title type='text'>QUO VADIS</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvr7u3SjOI/AAAAAAAAACM/qAvPSyUFsoc/s1600-h/2006_1210Image0054.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 287px; height: 216px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvr7u3SjOI/AAAAAAAAACM/qAvPSyUFsoc/s320/2006_1210Image0054.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250049202055187682" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I arrive to Naples after knowing 3 warming and charming napoliteans, Mauro, Luca and Jennifer in Berlin where I received an invitation to visit their city.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To visit Naples during this last weekend was almost like arriving earlier to Lisboa.The small narrow and hard to climb streets on the hills, coloured clothes waving on the windows, the light, the people on the streets, these were the things that remind me of Alfama or Mouraria Lisbon neighbourhoods .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is absolutely true, it’s not the wish of arriving home sooner, many Italians had told me that before and now I confirm it! One city reminds us of the other!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Motorbykes at high velocity driven by children, many others riding without helmets, crossroads and red traffic lights don’t exist. The rule for the drivers is to move fast, the rule for the walkers is to run&amp;amp; find our way across the cars or just walk by the buildings on the lateral sides of the streets (that doesn’t mean sidewalks, because here they are rare) and hidding our purse on the inner side, once is better not to take the risk of a clumsy hand find it interesting; trash making small hills in the middle of the streets, abandoned buildings, poorness... This is the lively centre of Naples that Vesuvio can control from his higher perspective. It may seem strange but I like this reality as I found it normal and understandable!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Night life also reminds me of Lisboa, specially when sunday night I end up in this place where old washing machines and refrigerators are part of a Milonga (tango) ball room !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I visit Naples guided by the eyes of who lives and loves his city ( Luca, have you considered to become a tour guide, you managed also quite well in Berlin!?) I found many churches, a monument similar to "Casa dos bicos" in Lisboa (here in church version), the castle, one garden.&lt;br /&gt;I drink a cold coffee nuts flavour, it’s not only divine, it’s a reason to exist as Napolitanean! We continue and we found the main big square where people celebrate the New year’s Eve, then on the town hall building we dive on the Mediterrean with an exibition about its cities and we finish after the sunset in Naples Golf, where we can see the entire city like a Christmas tree with all its beautiful lights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The journey continues between Napolitanean pizzas, beer and presepio street* getting deeper in the real world of my brand new friends. For a moment I feel I belong to this place and I wouldn’t mind to stay here for the last 3 weeks left in Italia.&lt;br /&gt;*a street full of shops that only sell the ceramic images that are part of this presepio, that basically is the recreation of Jesus birth done by the Catholics on Christmas day- a strong tradition here in Napoli.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The photos that I didn’t do, what I didn’t do, the talks I didn’t have made me want to return one day. The truth is that for the same reason I could departure forever revisiting some dozen magic souls that I had the pleasure to cross my life with in the last years.&lt;br /&gt;I'm sure now that I want to continue to travel in your beautiful and unique worlds!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There should not be a reason to love!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grazie Jennifer per la tua allegria, dinamismo e accoglienza che mi ha fatto sentire proprio a casa.&lt;br /&gt;Grazie a Luca per la tua apassionata gita guidada al tuo mondo.&lt;br /&gt;Grazie a Mauro, so che vorresti stare con noi!

E isto é verdade, não são as saudades de Portugal, vários italianos já me tinham dito e agora eu confirmo. É verdade!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As motos conduzidas a alta velocidade por crianças, por passageiros sem capacete, onde as passadeiras e os sinais vermelhos não existem, a regra para eles é sempre avançar, a regra para os peões é tentar atravessar a estrada e andar sempre junto às extremidades da rua (que não quer dizer passeios, essa é uma palavra que raramente vem no dicionários dos arquitectos napolitanos) e com a mala sempre virada para a parede, não vá uma mãozinha atrevida achá-la interessante, o lixo aos montes pela rua, os edifícios bastante degradados, a pobreza... Tudo isto faz parte do centro vital de Nápoles que o Vesúvio controla lá do alto. E por estranho que pareça, gosto desta realidade porque é normal e a consigo compreender.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A vida nocturna também faz lembrar Lisboa, especialmente quando no Domingo à noite chego a este lugar onde antigas máquinas de lavar e frigoríficos com luzes fazem parte da decoração de um salão onde se dançam Milongas.&lt;br /&gt;Visito Napóles guiada pelos olhos de quem lá vive e ama a sua cidade, encontro mil igrejas, uma casa dos bicos (aqui em versão igreja), um castelo, um jardim. Bebo um café frio com sabor a Nociola, não é só divinal, é uma das razões da essência napolitana.&lt;br /&gt;Seguimos, e encontro a Praça do Comércio cá do sitio, dentro do edifício municipal mergulhamos numa Exposição sobre as cidades do Mediterrâneo, terminamos já depois do pôr-do-sol no Golfo de Napóles, onde se pode ver toda a cidade em luzinhas à nossa volta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A viagem continua e entre pizzas e cervejas e a rua dos presépios ( uma rua só com lojas que se dedicam à venda das figuras do presépio em terracota ) a viagem aprofunda-se ao mundo real dos meus jovens amigos. Por momentos sinto que sou daqui e não me importaria de ficar aqui estas 3 últimas semanas que me restam em Itália.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mas as fotos que não tirei, aquilo que não vi, o que não fiz, as conversas que não tive, far-me-ão querer voltar 1 dia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Na verdade por este motivo poderia partir e viajar para sempre ao encontro de algumas dezenas de almas super interessantes com quem tenho tido o privilégio de me ter cruzado nos últimos tempos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quero continuar esta viagem ao encontro dos vossos belos e únicos mundos!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amar não deve ter uma razão!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19358612-6648763109283737054?l=themadalchemist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/feeds/6648763109283737054/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19358612&amp;postID=6648763109283737054&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/6648763109283737054'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/6648763109283737054'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/2006/11/quo-vadis.html' title='QUO VADIS'/><author><name>ana castanheira</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10920150390064422321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3356/3886/1600/Ana01.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvr7u3SjOI/AAAAAAAAACM/qAvPSyUFsoc/s72-c/2006_1210Image0054.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19358612.post-3267095151350934100</id><published>2006-11-22T08:34:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-09-25T12:48:05.562-07:00</updated><title type='text'>THE FABULOUS WORLD OF AMELIE POULIN</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvputXvt-I/AAAAAAAAACE/4Nf4URkzyds/s1600-h/DSCF1847.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 287px; height: 215px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvputXvt-I/AAAAAAAAACE/4Nf4URkzyds/s320/DSCF1847.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250046779292891106" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;From the 31rst October to the 12th November I was in Berlin for visiting friends, for working and participating in training course on "Open Space tecnology". Here you can find some reflections about the city and the course!&lt;br /&gt;About the city I can tell you something, but OST you have to participate in it to fully understand it so I leave you with the message I sent afterwards to my colleagues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Berlin!&lt;br /&gt;I choose west! I found a cold, calm, friendly, organized city that made me feel at home!&lt;br /&gt;I felt the city breathing and the historical legacy inspiring me. Large avenues. Fusion of modern with old architecture.&lt;br /&gt;The first place I visit was this “bunker” built to defend people from the atomic war. I found it interesting to see this piece of history that was never needed to be used and if it was everyone doubts about its efficiency. Curious, no? From Checkpoint Charlie and concentration camps you do not have only memories as new fascist try to burn down the concentration camp of Sachsenhausen but you can say that Berliners life nowadays seem to be faraway from the hardest moments of german history.&lt;br /&gt;As in any other place in the world there are always many perspectives of the same events! I found curious to meet people to whom the falling of the wall had different meanings and impacts in their lifes!&lt;br /&gt;This city full of sub worlds inside other worlds, seems to make sense altogether.&lt;br /&gt;I got lost in the city as I usually like to do and just merged with its spirit!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Autumm colours, from yellow, to brown and trees letting their fruits fall into the ground.&lt;br /&gt;Many people smiling and the communication happening apart from the language barrier as I don’t speak german.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt; I understand at that moment and once again that people are the ones who make the difference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The night life is interesting with typical german pubs and unpredictable places were you can dance traditional european dances, alternative places were you can listen to launching of pure german rock bands (thanks Michael for taking us there!). And after these days I get to the conclusion that I wouldn’ t mind to live there!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just for the European Citizenship yahoo group, it’s maybe interesting for you to know that I met my dear friend Stefan, you remember him? The german charismatic sense of humour in person! Although our brief meeting it was really enjoyable!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 255);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt;Open Space Technology Training Course in Blossin&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);"&gt;Walking around on the streets of Berlin on the 9th, the 10th, the 11th, the 12th of November, seeing you in the corner, hearing your voice… hearing your laugher… No, it’s just somebody else reminding me of you…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the way to this gathering I lost a plane, during the gathering I started to loose objects and to disconnect definitely from my vague notion of time and reason, I met some of my old phantoms and had nice talks with them, I met the phantom of true freedom and he let me go, I opened some doors that were closed for stupid reasons, I dived deeper in my inner lake and I found my treasures…&lt;br /&gt;I got closer to you or maybe not as much as I wanted or was possible but that makes me believe that people don’t meet by chance and we’ll be connected somehow!…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Berlin I lost my bank card in a bancomat! On my way back to Italy my luggage didn’t arrive, inside there was my Italian phone and the keys of my house in Calabria.&lt;br /&gt;But I easily managed to enter in my house and a bird flied through the open window, and looked at me while searching for the way out!&lt;br /&gt;In Portugal we say that when we loose something is because we didn’t really want to leave the place. And when a street bird enters your house it’s announcing good news!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This just tell me that:&lt;br /&gt;You were all the right people!&lt;br /&gt;Whatever happened it was what each and everyone needed!&lt;br /&gt;It’s not over!&lt;br /&gt;And whenever something else will happen is absolutely the right time!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5 months ago I initiated the longest open space of my life coming to the South of Italy in search for myself, my true beliefs, answers, and a new world!&lt;br /&gt;I still don’t know exactly what kind of animal I am but I don’t think it’s important anylonger… For the moment I just enjoy the ride…Thanks for being part of it!…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19358612-3267095151350934100?l=themadalchemist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/feeds/3267095151350934100/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19358612&amp;postID=3267095151350934100&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/3267095151350934100'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/3267095151350934100'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/2006/11/fabulous-world-of-amelie-poulin.html' title='THE FABULOUS WORLD OF AMELIE POULIN'/><author><name>ana castanheira</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10920150390064422321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3356/3886/1600/Ana01.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvputXvt-I/AAAAAAAAACE/4Nf4URkzyds/s72-c/DSCF1847.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19358612.post-116341954467347435</id><published>2006-11-13T03:57:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-09-25T12:39:17.946-07:00</updated><title type='text'>DEAD POETS SOCIETY</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvnwna1FSI/AAAAAAAAAB0/agF1B3zA390/s1600-h/a+cor+do+etna.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 279px; height: 210px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvnwna1FSI/AAAAAAAAAB0/agF1B3zA390/s320/a+cor+do+etna.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250044613031695650" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;28-30 October 2006&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;There comes a time when we need to jump over the top of the table, tear down the books and forget memorizing the latin grammar rules!... Carpe diem!... And off I went to the land where the oranges are red!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I cross Messina's Strait in the big ship, that carries trains inside, carrying me to green hills and Mountains of Sicilly!&lt;br /&gt;Seen from Jonic Sea, Messina cativates me by it’s specific architecture that puts together different styles and ages, I wish to go closer into it. But this travel has already a destination!&lt;br /&gt;From the harbour to the railwaystation another reality appears to me, trains with 2,5 hours late and nobody really giving the correct information. I end up taking the regional train that stopped in each and every station on the way to Catania. I travel to meet another member of my organization, Hugo Matos, also him wants to get to know the biggest vulcano in the Old Continent!&lt;br /&gt;I start to see Etna halfway in Taormina and I spend the rest of the time standing up to make photos, to watch its different perspectives, to admire it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Expecting me was a special family "Opera Papa Giovanni XXII" where Hugo does his European volunteer Service. Children and young people to whom life had made it hard at health or family level found here the Love and home protection. Among 11 persons in the house I felt immediatly hosted and in harmony. My Regards of admiration to the work of Domenico and Chiara- the parents!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;I’m very happy to know that we can still find people with such a heart, specially in this part of the world!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’m thrilled! Finally I’m going to climb up Etna. After months watching &lt;em&gt;him&lt;/em&gt; from my balcony, during day magnificent, belissimo, at night writting down orange streets in the middle of the sky!&lt;br /&gt;3313 meters high, moon landscape, grey sand, brown, cobre, black with hills of different dimensions and hundreds of crateras all around.&lt;br /&gt;Walking, our feet dive in the warm earth, there’s a smell of enxofre and the wind brings back the smoke from the crateras. There’s a small cratera from where you can see lava running, a borbulhar...This must be one of the most amazing experiences that you can have in life! Unforgetable! A true psycologic orgasm according to Hugo and I agree!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvoXT9NiOI/AAAAAAAAAB8/mzcOKrMWcgw/s1600-h/DSCF1765.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 254px; height: 190px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvoXT9NiOI/AAAAAAAAAB8/mzcOKrMWcgw/s320/DSCF1765.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250045277822093538" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CLUBE DOS POETAS MORTOS (versão português)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Chegou a altura de subir para cima da mesa, rasgar os livros e deixar de decorar as declinações em latim ... Carpe diem!... Aí fui eu rumo á terra onde as laranjas são vermelhas!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Atravesso o estreito de Messina no enorme navio, que leva comboios dentro, e me leva a avistar verdes colinas e montanhas sicilianas.&lt;br /&gt;Vista do Mar Tirreno, Messina cativa pela sua arquitectura diversa que mescla diferentes estilos e idades, fico com vontade de vê-la mais perto.&lt;br /&gt;Mas a viagem continua e o destino é diferente, do porto à estação, uma outra realidade comboios com 2,5 horas de atraso e onde ninguém parece saber ou querer dar informações. Acabo por apanhar o comboio regional que pára em todas e mais algumas e que me levará a Catania. Viajo ao encontro de um outro “arrotante”, o Hugo Matos, também ele quer ir conhecer o maior vulcão do velho continente.&lt;br /&gt;Começo a ver o Etna sensivelmente a meio da viagem, em Taormina, e passo o restante tempo em pé a fotografá-lo, olhá-lo, admirá-lo.&lt;br /&gt;Chego a Catania e vejo o bom e o mau, aqui percebo o italiano que se fala.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Desembarco numa família especial a Obra Papa Giovanni XXIII onde o Hugo faz voluntariado. Crianças e jovens a quem a vida pregou partidas familiares ou de saúde, reencontram aqui o Amor, o bem estar. Entre 11 pessoas na casa senti-me imediatamente acolhida e em harmonia. Fica um cumprimento de admiração para o trabalho do Domenico e da Chiara- os pais! E eu fico feliz por saber que ainda existem pessoas tão boas, especialmente por estas paragens!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estou emocionada vamos subir ao Etna. Finalmente, depois de meses a vê-lo da minha varanda, de dia imponente, belissimo, de noite a lava traçando estradas laranja no meio do céu!&lt;br /&gt;A 3313 metros de altitude , a paisagem é lunar, areia cinzenta, castanha, côr de cobre, preta com montanhas e montes de pedras de lava e centenas de crateras a perder de vista.&lt;br /&gt;Caminhando os meus pés enterram-se na terra quente, cheira a enxofre e o vento traz o fumo das crateras. Há uma pequena cratera onde se pode ver a lava a correr, a borbulhar... Esta deve ser uma daquelas experiências únicas na vida! Indimenticable! Um verdadeiro orgasmo psicológico segundo o Hugo e eu concordo!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19358612-116341954467347435?l=themadalchemist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/feeds/116341954467347435/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19358612&amp;postID=116341954467347435&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/116341954467347435'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/116341954467347435'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/2006/11/dead-poets-society.html' title='DEAD POETS SOCIETY'/><author><name>ana castanheira</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10920150390064422321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3356/3886/1600/Ana01.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvnwna1FSI/AAAAAAAAAB0/agF1B3zA390/s72-c/a+cor+do+etna.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19358612.post-116030112511334340</id><published>2006-10-08T02:46:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-25T12:32:07.381-07:00</updated><title type='text'>CINEMA PARADISO</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvkDni3F3I/AAAAAAAAABU/L9NF4-Xg-XA/s1600-h/img045.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvkDni3F3I/AAAAAAAAABU/L9NF4-Xg-XA/s320/img045.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250040541436385138" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Anzi tutto per gli meno attenti, miei ultimi post hanno il nome di film conosciuti.&lt;br /&gt;Questo non è per caso, dal primo momento che ho visto la città di Reggio Calabria del aereo ho sentito che stava in un film...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Settembre ho fatto un giro di 12 giorni per il nord visitando gli amici Italiani e Portoghese, il qual mi ha ricordato quelli sguardi del picolo bambino in Cinema Paradiso prima nascosto, dopo guardando inamorato tutti i film seduto dal posto del tecnico che faceva ruotare le pellicole.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Come si fa un giro in Italia per 12 giorni partendo da Reggio Calabria?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Con un viaggio in treno con 14 ore di durata (treno veloce che si ferma in poche stazione!) fino a Venezia.&lt;br /&gt;-Con gli amici oppure facendo nuovi amici!&lt;br /&gt;-Con il mio principio che dice: Bisogna partire soltanto quando c’è il momento giusto, non prima non dopo!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Questo viaggio è stato abbastanza intenso per capire che la Bella Italia è un paese speciale e grande, dove piu meno di 100 in 100 kilometri cambiano le persone, la sua storia, le sue ideologie e il suo modo di parlare! Ciascuna regione è un mondo in se! Come mai possono sapere o capire al nord quello che veramente sucede al sud!!&lt;br /&gt;È complessa la sua storia! È un Paese unificado da piu o meno 80 anni. C’é molto giovane pero sembra molto antico!&lt;br /&gt;Si dice che In Italia si puo trovare piu meno 2/3 della arte di tutto il mondo. Mi pare che quasi tutte le città al nord sono dei musei al cielo apierto! É veramente affascinante!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mio giro mi ha portato da Reggio Calabria a Venezia-Vicenza-Bassano del Grapa – Vicenza - Padova- Trento – Verona.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Senza programmare ho fatto veramente un viaggio per la storia di Italia, pero solo ho capito quello che stava facendo quando a Trento ho sentito questo:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Veneziani gran’ signori&lt;br /&gt;Padovani gran’ dottori&lt;br /&gt;Vicentini mangna gatti&lt;br /&gt;Veronesi tutti matti. “&lt;br /&gt;Ho scoperto cose marevigliose tra di questi vicini cittá come:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Venezia è un pesce! – Guardate la cartina!&lt;br /&gt;Senza voglia di partire o lasciare Venezia, per me poteva avere restato tutti i 12 giorni in questa città unica. Stava a casa di un amico di un amico dove se respirava una armonia e una pace tra di giovanni studenti che mi mostravano la città con i suoi occhi e dal punto di vista non turistico. Sono stata molto fortunata per avere conosciuto Venezia in questo modo!&lt;br /&gt;La prima notte sono stata visitata da un pipistrello, non aveva mai guardato un cosi vicino!!!&lt;br /&gt;É stata molto interessante questa visita che ho fatto al Palazio Ducale dove anche per la prima volta ho visitato prisione, le prisione antiche della cittá!&lt;br /&gt;Purtroppo gli veneziani stanno uscindo della cittá, perche non si trova lavoro che non sia in ristorante, hotel o negozio oppure fare il gondoliere ma per questo è bisogno appartanere da una famiglia di gondolieri. Fra 50 anni si prevede che sará una cittá soltanto per i turisti. Io propria sono stata un po tonta e stuffa di guardare tante persone che si muovevano da per tutto. É un po’ troppo questa esplorazione economica, quindi sono rimasta contenta passegiando un po’ per la pancia e gli occhi del pesce che erano già troppi belli...&lt;br /&gt;Un giorno aspetto potere ritornare per trovare ancora il sole, le isole, la storia viva da per tutto e gli veri italiani veneziani! Difendono una Venezia italiana!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvnFLALHvI/AAAAAAAAABs/S5nDKArt7H8/s1600-h/img047.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 264px; height: 181px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvnFLALHvI/AAAAAAAAABs/S5nDKArt7H8/s320/img047.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250043866669326066" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vicenza&lt;br /&gt;Il Spritz- la piu famosa bibita del Venetto – é arancia! UAU!&lt;br /&gt;Il piano forte suonato per la madre di Paolo e io con la pelle d’occa!!&lt;br /&gt;Questo pazzesco amico italiano con un cuore gigante, (che ha studiato la “revoluzione dei garofoni” che ci ha liberato Portogallo del fascismo nel 1974, perche voglieva capire come si fa una revoluzione pacifica), mi ha parlato della Lega Nord, della Padana e della storia che ha coinvolto le vitta di suoi nonni e di nonni di suoi amici.&lt;br /&gt;Da sua casa ci possiamo guardare le montagne che ci racontano storie di guerra e della republica di saló- l’ ultimo posto di resistenza fascista italiana. Le montagne dove oggi si puo ancora trovare le traccie della guerra: scheletri, caschi, polvere dell’ armi... !…É sempre importante capire come la geografia può influenzare la storia di un popolo!&lt;br /&gt;Con lui ho imparato pezzi importanti della storia di questa cittá, di questo posto di resistencia comunista e dove oggi ancora si può trovare persone con voglia di fare una statua a Mussolini e metterla in piazza!!&lt;br /&gt;E che bello è sentire una persona inamorata della sua propria storia! Poteva restare anche quoi tutto il mio viaggio!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Da registare anche questo momento di trovare dei giovanni che svilopano l’associazione Archi ragazzi mentre si divertono facendo musica. Sono andata per sentire suonare “L’ osteria popolare berica”- &lt;a href="http://www.osteriapopolareberica/"&gt;http://www.osteriapopolareberica/&lt;/a&gt;”. Mi sono divertita un sacco! Aspetto che un giorno possa sentire questi “comichi e piacevole musicisti” un’ alatra volta e chi sa in Portogallo!&lt;br /&gt;Viva Fabbrizio di Andre e le cittá che si iniziano con una V!&lt;br /&gt;E Pilu ti aspetto anche tu in Portogallo!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bassano del Grappa&lt;br /&gt;Le traccie delle pallottole della seconda guerra mondiale nelle case vicine al ponte che è stato brusciato per non lasciare passare le tedesche e i fascisti. Oggi hanno reconstruito il ponte dal legno come era prima. La storia è ancora viva in questa città con suo bel castello e muraglia!&lt;br /&gt;Un posto ideale per ritrovare una amica, parlare della vitta mentre si assagiava la grappa –prodotto tipico regionale- e si aspettava che la piogia ci permetesse di guardare il panorama.&lt;br /&gt;La pioggia non si ha mai fermato e continuando abbiamo trovato questa strada dove si incontrano molti alberi in fila con i nomi dei soldati italiani che hanno resistitto in montagna nella seconda guerra e che sono finiti senza testa colpiti per i nemici.&lt;br /&gt;Benché la storia pesante e recente, si mangia bene e ci sta!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Padova – una visita lampo!&lt;br /&gt;Un piacevole pranzo con un nuovo amico, Riccardo Vencato! Che me hai mostrato uno strano monumento alle vittime del 11 di Settembre nella parte nuova della cittá!&lt;br /&gt;In pomeridgio ho fatto una sorpresa in Xena- Centro di Scambi e Dinamiche Interculturali (organizacione partner di Rota Jovem-mia Associazione), sono entrata in ufficio e ho avuto un deja vu, sembrava lo stesso di entrare in Rota e sentire le persone davanti al computer che dicevano “Ciao, pero non ho molto tempo per parlare con te!” Comunque sono felice di avere fatto questa breve visita avendo tempo di fare una intensa passegiata in centro e salutare il Santo Antonio!...&lt;br /&gt;Adesso conosco un po di Padova e un po della realtá di un progetto che mi ha cambiato la vitta! Sono contenta di inviare Portoghese per fare suoi tirocini in questa bella città!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trento&lt;br /&gt;Tra i tre denti dell’ alta montagna ci troviamo un’ altra Italia, che prima é stata Austria, dove si può trovare molte segni di una cittá molto organizatta e di qualitá di vitta!! Magari per questo ho trovato:&lt;br /&gt;-Il miglior gelato&lt;br /&gt;-La megliore pizza ( fatta da cucco napolitano!!)&lt;br /&gt;-Il meglior bacalá con sapori a Portogallo!!!&lt;br /&gt;-La megliore grellatta di sardine ( l’unica fra 4 mesi!!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La storia ci persegue, fino a che ci ricordiamo che questa è stata la cittá del Consiglio di Trento dove si ha deciso che le donne avevano l’anima!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qui incontro mio amico Pedro (e viva le persone con nome che iniziano con una P!), che me fa sempre pensare come la vitta può essere più bella si usiamo il cuore invece della testa!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Verona&lt;br /&gt;Un’ altra volta e sono sorpresa con l’ Arena e la muraglia romana con più de 2000 anni. Ci fa pensare quando si trova monumenti con questa éta!! Mi piace imaginare come era la vitta in quelli tempi mentre mi imagino, proprio io, in quelli scenari!&lt;br /&gt;I ponte sul fiume e un’ architettura di colore rame senza parechie! Mi piace questa colore!&lt;br /&gt;In questo weekend si svilupava questa attivitá “Giochi per strada” – una mostra di giochi tradizionalli italiani e spagnoli per bambini e adulti. Che animazione!&lt;br /&gt;La notte di sabato è finita trovando un balle de danze del mondo in un bel cortile della cittá, un po di Andanças* senza andare in Portogallo! Bravo!!!!&lt;br /&gt;*Festivale di danze del mondo dove sono volontaria quasi tutti gli anni!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Insomma dopo 3000km di viaggio, ho scoperto:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...Che ha senzo la prima frase che io ho imparato in italiano alcuni anni fa, e che é stata: “Io sono qui per chiudere la finestra!“ (Grazie Marco!). Infatti, sento che quoi stou chiudendo la finestra di una casa del passato e provando di trovare e aprire una nuova porta per un futuro diverso e se possibile piu felice! Magari stava scritto che io doveva venire in Italia per questo!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...Persone con un bel cuore come non trovava alcuno tempo fa e per questo mi sono reso conta che non si puo fare niente nella vitta senza usarlo!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E ho ricordato che le migliore cose della viíta sono le più semplice come le palline di sapone che cambiano di colore, di quantitá e di misure vuolando nell’aria. Adesso mi basta una semplice pallina di sapone per farmi sorridere!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vi lascio con la mia frase del momento:&lt;br /&gt;Il bello non è ottenere una cosa&lt;br /&gt;È volerla dopo averla ottenuta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dai, molte palline di sapone per voi!!!...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvkTQKQ5qI/AAAAAAAAABc/nfWKNizGJRQ/s1600-h/img048.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvkTQKQ5qI/AAAAAAAAABc/nfWKNizGJRQ/s320/img048.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250040810037110434" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CINEMA PARADISO&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For the ones that didn’t notice before, my last posts have names of known movies. This is not by chance, from the first moment that I’ve seen Reggio Calabria from the plane I felt I was in a movie...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In September I did a journey of 12 days in the North of Italy visiting Italian and Portuguese friends. This journey made me remember of that small boy that was hidden in Cinema to see the movies and then from the technician room felt in love with the cinema itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do you do a journey in Italy for 12 days leaving from Reggio Calabria?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-You need to travel in train for 14 hours (fast train that stops just a few times) to arrive in the wonderful Venezia.&lt;br /&gt;-With friends or making new friends!&lt;br /&gt;-With this principle: Leaving when it’s the right moment not earlier not later!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This journey was enough intense to understand that “la Bella Italia” it’s a special country, big but where more a less in 100 kilometers people change, history changes, ideologies changes and also the dialect they talk! How can the North know what’s happening to the south if there are so concern with their neighbours?&lt;br /&gt;They have a very complex history! It’s a unified country of more or less 80 years. It’s a very young country but seems very very old!&lt;br /&gt;People say that in Italy you can find more or less 2/3 of all the art in the world! It can be true! For me all the cities in the North are open air Museums! It’s really fascinating!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My journey has taken me from Reggio Calabria to Venezia-Vicenza-Bassano del Grapa – Vicenza - Padova- Trento – Verona.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Without programming I made a real journey through the history of Italy, although I only realised it when I arrived in Trento and I’ve heard this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Veneziani gran’ signori – Venezian gran gentleman&lt;br /&gt;Padovani gran’ dottori – Padovan gran doctorate&lt;br /&gt;Vicentini mangna gatti – Vicentini eat cats&lt;br /&gt;Veronesi tutti matti. “ – Veronesian all crazy people&lt;br /&gt;And this was what I saw...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Venezia is a fish! – Have a look on a map!&lt;br /&gt;I didn’t want to leave Venezia, for me I could have rest there all the 12 days in this unique city. I was in the house of a friend’s friend where the atmosphere was peaceful among the students that showed me the city through their eyes and with a non touristic point of view. I was very fortunate for knowing the city from this perspective!&lt;br /&gt;On my first night I received a visit from a bat, I’ve never had seen one so close to me!!&lt;br /&gt;I’ve found very interesting this visit to Palazio Ducale where also for the first time I’ve visited prisions, in case the old prisions of the town!&lt;br /&gt;Sadly the venezians are moving out of the town, because it’s impossible to find work, apart from restaurants, hotels or shops or even gondoliere although for this you need to be part of a gondolieri family...&lt;br /&gt;There’s a prevision saying that in 50 years Venezia will be a city inhabited by tourists. I myself felt really dizzy and tired of watching so many people moving all around. It’s too much this economical exploitation! I was happy enough just walking around the belly and the eyes of this fish that were so beautiful already...&lt;br /&gt;One day I expect to come back and still find the sun, the islands, the living history and the real italian venezians! Venezian people please defend Venezia!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vicenza&lt;br /&gt;The most famous drink of Venetto- Spritz – and it’s orange! WoW!&lt;br /&gt;The piano played by Paolo’s mother and me feeling chicken skin!!...&lt;br /&gt;This crazy italian friend with a giant heart, (that has studied the Portuguese revolution of 25th April 1974 that put down the fascism in Portugal, because he wanted to understand how can men do a peaceful revolution), has told me about Lega Nord and Padana and this actual wish of creating an independent region from the rest of Italy and also about the history that has involved his grandparents and the grandparents of his local friends.&lt;br /&gt;From his house we can see the mountains that tell us war stories or about the saló republic- the last fascist resort. The mountains where today you can still find remainings of war: skeletons of soldiers, helmmets, bullets or gunpowder dust! It’s always interesting to understand how geography can influence the evolution of people and places.&lt;br /&gt;With him I’ve also learned other main curiosities of this city, a place of communist resistance during the 2nd world war, where still today you can still find people interested in doing a Mussolini statue and put in a public square.&lt;br /&gt;It’s beautiful to feel a person in love by his own history! Also here I could have stayed all my journey!!!&lt;br /&gt;Here I’ve found young people that are devellopping the Association “Archi ragazzi” and at the same time having a lot fun doing their own music. I went to hear them play “L’ osteria popolare berica” "http://www.osteriapopolareberica/"www.osteriapopolareberica and had a lot of fun! I hope to hear these “pleasant comic musicians” in Portugal one day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Long live Fabbrizio di Andre and the cities that start with a V!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bassano del Grappa&lt;br /&gt;The remaining holes of 2nd World War bullets in the houses close to the bridge that was burned down on purpose for stopping the passage of the german and fascists. Today the bridge is rebuilt in wood like it was before. The history is still alive in this city with a beautiful castle and wall.&lt;br /&gt;It’s the ideal place to find a friend, have a nice talk about life while trying the local drink -grappa and waiting for the rain to stop to allow us to continue to see the landscape.&lt;br /&gt;The rain didn’t stop but we were able to find this street where you have a row of trees with the names of the Italian soldiers that resisted in the mountains against the attacks in 2nd world war ending up their days with their heads cut by the enemies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although the strong and recent history a great place to eat and just be!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Padova – a 6 hours visit!&lt;br /&gt;A pleasant lunch with a new friend Riccardo Vencato that showed me in the new part of the city a strange monument to the victims of September 11th made with a burned piece of Twin Towers building!&lt;br /&gt;Then a surprise visit to Xena- Centro di Scambi e Dinamiche Interculturali (partner organization of Rota Jovem- my association), I enter in the office and had a deja vu, it seemed the same of entering in Rota and see the persons in front of the computers saying “Hi, but I don’t have much time for you now!” Nevertheless I enjoyed this short visit and I’m happy for having done it, now I know a little bit of Padova and a small part of a project that had change my life!&lt;br /&gt;I had time to say hi to Santo Antonio and make a intense walk while thinking about being really happy for sending people to do their internships in this great place!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trento&lt;br /&gt;In the middle of three high mountain teeths one can find a different Italy, that first was Austria, and where we can find many signs of a extremely organized city and quality of life!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe that’s why, I’ve found here:&lt;br /&gt;-The best icecream!&lt;br /&gt;-The best pizza ( Made by a Napolitan cooker!!)&lt;br /&gt;-The best codfish with Portugal flavour!&lt;br /&gt;-The best grilled of sardines (The only one in 4 months))&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The history followed us, and we remembered that this was the city of the famous Trento Council, and that it was here the beautiful moment where the Church was decided that the women had soul!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found my friend Pedro (and long life to the persons that have their names starting with a P!), that always makes me think that life can be even more beautiful if we use our hearts instead of our minds!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Verona&lt;br /&gt;Once again surprised by the Arena and the romanian wall with more than 2000 years. Whenever I find monuments this old it makes me think!! I like to imagine how life was in those times and to picture myself in that scenery!&lt;br /&gt;The bridges over the river and architecture of rame/cobre (i don’t know the name in english of this metal with some kind of orange pink colour) without comparison!&lt;br /&gt;By chance I’ve found this activity “Giochi per strada” – “Games on the street” about traditional games in Italy and Spain for children and adults.&lt;br /&gt;Saturday night ended up finding a “ World dances ball” in a nice courtyard of the city, a little bit of Andanças* without going to Portugal! Bravo!!!!&lt;br /&gt;*(World dances Festival where almost every year I’m volunteer!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After more than 3000km of travelling, I also found out:&lt;br /&gt;1-The meaning of first sentence I’ve learned in Italian some years ago, that was: “Io sono qui per chiudere la finestra!“- I’m here to close the window! (Grazie Marco!). Afterall I feel I’m really closing the window of a old house and trying to open a new door for a different and if possible happier future! Maybe it was written somewhere that I had to come here in Italy to do this!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2-People with a beautiful heart like I didn’t find for a long time and I realised that you cannot live without using it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ve remembered that the best things in life are the most simple ones, like balls made of soap that change colours, sizes and quantities while flying in the air! Now one simple ball of soap it’s enough to make me smile!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I leave you with my favourite sentence of the moment:&lt;br /&gt;The most beautiful thing is not having one thing&lt;br /&gt;Is to want it after having it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many balls of soap for you!!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19358612-116030112511334340?l=themadalchemist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/feeds/116030112511334340/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19358612&amp;postID=116030112511334340&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/116030112511334340'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/116030112511334340'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/2006/10/cinema-paradiso.html' title='CINEMA PARADISO'/><author><name>ana castanheira</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10920150390064422321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3356/3886/1600/Ana01.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvkDni3F3I/AAAAAAAAABU/L9NF4-Xg-XA/s72-c/img045.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19358612.post-115807525455177847</id><published>2006-09-12T08:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-25T12:30:13.824-07:00</updated><title type='text'>LA VITTA É BELLA!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvjVbINtDI/AAAAAAAAABM/N0-10d_ozng/s1600-h/img038.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvjVbINtDI/AAAAAAAAABM/N0-10d_ozng/s320/img038.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250039747829412914" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In life we have 2 options: live in a sad movie or in a happy movie.&lt;br /&gt;In the movie we have 2 options: to play the main or the secondary role.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Summer is reaching the end, the temperature is lower and rain is falling. I’m on the way to Venice to visit friends and rest from the 6 different activities that I went through since I arrived.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During these 2 months and a half a lot of people asked me what was I missing the most?&lt;br /&gt;I always answered : people, friends and family.&lt;br /&gt;How good it was to receive your messages of support and saudade (it’s impossible to translate this word into English!) It’s good to feel that some people are missing me!&lt;br /&gt;Thinking deeply about how I dealt with difference, I must confess that it was hard for me to accept this reality and that it was hard to relate with it. But if I think properly I’ve already earned a lot:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-A new vision of life: Life is difficult everywhere! In the end conditions don’t matter, all it matters is what we are able to do with that.&lt;br /&gt;-I’ve a lot to give, but I need to believe and to know where exactly do I want to go.&lt;br /&gt;-This summer I knew hundreds of persons some of them had the right smile, the right gesture, the assertive word, the right hug on the exact moment that I was needing it and although it was temporally it was worthwhile. The world is too small and the seeds of friendships can give very good fruits.&lt;br /&gt;-I learned one very beautiful language!&lt;br /&gt;-I live now 2 minutes far from the beach, in a house with a terrace and a beautiful view over the sea.&lt;br /&gt;-I have the opportunity to reflect upon what i’ve done in the past and decide what do I want to do in the future. Thousand ideas in my box, the will to continue and to discover what’s the following step!&lt;br /&gt;Today nothing but thanking for my happy life, that allowed me already to fullfill some dreams and that allows me to do what I like and what I want at professional level. And overall that allows me to simultaneously try to be a better person everyday.&lt;br /&gt;Again the challenge of building something starting from scratch. The courage arises from these moments of publishing one more post in my blog, where I share with you my doubts, my emotions, and by doing it I feel closer to my tribe. Certainly, from now on, since I took the direction of this movie it will be at least “La vitta è bela!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvjCo6Gl4I/AAAAAAAAABE/Ptp8ib95JP0/s1600-h/img037.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvjCo6Gl4I/AAAAAAAAABE/Ptp8ib95JP0/s320/img037.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250039425110808450" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;A VIDA É BELA!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Na vida temos duas opções: viver num filme triste ou num filme alegre.&lt;br /&gt;No filme temos duas opções ser os protagonistas ou apenas figurantes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O Verão está a acabar, a temperatura desce e a chuva cai.&lt;br /&gt;Eu estou a caminho de Veneza para visitar amigos e descansar das 6 actividades diferentes que tive desde que cheguei.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Durante estes 2 meses e meio muita gente me perguntou do que sinto mais falta?&lt;br /&gt;Sempre respondi: as pessoas, os amigos e a família.&lt;br /&gt;E que bom foi receber as vossas mensagens de apoio e de saudade! É bom sentir que faço falta!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fazendo um balanço de como encarei a diferença, devo confessar que foi difícil aceitar esta realidade, foi difícil relacionar-me com ela. Mas pensando bem já ganhei tanto com esta experiencia:&lt;br /&gt;-Uma nova visão da vida: é difícil em todo o lado!&lt;br /&gt;No fundo não interessam as condições, interessa o que fazemos com elas.&lt;br /&gt;-Tenho muito para dar, basta que acredite em mim e que saiba exactamente onde quero ir.&lt;br /&gt;-Este verão conheci centenas pessoas, algumas que tiveram o sorriso, o gesto, a palavra, o abraço certo no momento exacto em que eu precisava e ainda que temporariamente valeu a pena. O mundo é demasiado pequeno e as amizades que se semeiam podem dar belos frutos.&lt;br /&gt;-Aprendi uma língua muito bonita!&lt;br /&gt;-Vivo agora a 2 minutos da praia, numa casa com terraço e uma vista espectacular.&lt;br /&gt;-Tenho a oportunidade de reflectir sobre o que fiz e decidir sobre o que posso fazer no futuro. Mil ideias no meu baú, vontade de seguir e descobrir qual é o passo seguinte!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoje resta-me agradecer por ter uma vida feliz, que me permitiu já concretizar alguns sonhos, que me permite fazer o que gosto e o que quero a nível profissional. E que me permite simultaneamente todos os dias tentar ser uma pessoa melhor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De novo o desafio a construção de algo a partir de coisa nenhuma. A coragem vem destes momentos em que publico mais um post no meu blog, em que partilho as minhas dúvidas, as minhas emoções convosco, em que me sinto mais perto da minha tribo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Certamente, a partir de agora que assumi a realização, o filme será pelo menos “La vitta è bella!”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gosto muito de todos vocês!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Até já!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19358612-115807525455177847?l=themadalchemist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/feeds/115807525455177847/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19358612&amp;postID=115807525455177847&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/115807525455177847'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/115807525455177847'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/2006/09/la-vitta-bella.html' title='LA VITTA É BELLA!'/><author><name>ana castanheira</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10920150390064422321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3356/3886/1600/Ana01.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvjVbINtDI/AAAAAAAAABM/N0-10d_ozng/s72-c/img038.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19358612.post-115676926771953542</id><published>2006-08-28T05:37:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-25T12:29:30.099-07:00</updated><title type='text'>MISSION (IM)POSSIBLE?!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvhRc6csmI/AAAAAAAAAA0/GmO14JQjaQY/s1600-h/img040.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 281px; height: 191px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvhRc6csmI/AAAAAAAAAA0/GmO14JQjaQY/s320/img040.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250037480565813858" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And now the hardcore movie!!!! ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’m in Bova’s main square. Bova’s the capital of grecanic area. I’m speaking with an exchange participant. I’m wearing a t-shirt of Pro-Pentedatillo Association, one of the Associations where I’m doing my training, a young couple comes to me and the boy says: -“Congratulations, you are doing an excellent job, specially because you are going against the tide!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Four weeks ago I was entering the Pentedatillo youth hostel, where I work, and outside there was a plastic bottle and the window of the office was completely burned. Someone had tried to burn down the hostel! Carabinieri, photographer, news on local newspapers, solidarity and support phone calls. Who had made this attempt and why?&lt;br /&gt;Later on some traces of the same act were found in other places connected to persons that are not only developing this Association but also developing other entrepreneur projects for the region.&lt;br /&gt;Was it a manifestation of local opinion against the work of the Association? ( In former years, people were robbing or damaging tires from the Association’ vans!...).&lt;br /&gt;Was it a warning for forcing the Association to stop the village development, related to the fact that bringing more visitants and tourists can damage some eventual forbidden trade business?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last year on this village of 60 inhabitants, were arrested 8 persons after the death of the second Mafia leader.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 fires in less than one month, one on the surroundings and the other one last week reaching the houses. The village was on fire for 5 hours, after starting on the day before, the fire arrived up to the village surrounding it. Complex hours. People ran away to the main square where I live and the fire was controlled by these planes Canaders that can take huge quantities of water from the sea. I wasn’t there, but now I can see and smell everything burnt all around the houses and the hills when I go to Annà di Melito Porto Salvo.&lt;br /&gt;How do these facts are related?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the scenery of Pentedatillo, adding characteristics that are possible to find in all the villages of the world, and some others that I can’t understand. For instance: neighbours say bad things on each others back; they use other persons to tell you what they should tell you directly; everything you do, with whom and how is controlled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the beginning, I could hear sentences like: “Why should I take her?“, “ I don’t want to take her”, “ I don’t give her any ride!”, while I was going through the village with Maria to ask for a ride to Annà where I had to take the bus to go to the University to learn Italian. It happened also to find some good willing persons, one man even gave me his mobile number and told me that I could always call him whenever I needed a ride, then during the rides he took the occasion to put his hand on my leg.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All population including young people themselves are very distant from the concept of association and I would also say from the sense of community. Before coming I thought that by living in a small village I could find the true essence of community, which would make my integration easier and simpler.&lt;br /&gt;At this moment I would like to say that I feel at home, but it’s not possible. The individuality is not a city phenomena!&lt;br /&gt;Little smiles and lack of the art of hosting.&lt;br /&gt;No team work. Each individual has a role and that’s enough.&lt;br /&gt;The premise is that people should know how to behave according to local rules without knowing them. There’s a weight of conservative rules.&lt;br /&gt;Critical and closed spirit while thinking of foreigners and unknown people.&lt;br /&gt;There’s untrust among this people! Someone says that once in a while there are undercovered police agents and that’s why people become more closed minded when facing the unknown.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don’t feel integrated, I don’t like all this scenery where people aggressively declare their indifference and I don’t understand why should I work in a place where people preferred that nothing was done.&lt;br /&gt;Should I call this movie Mission Impossible?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After 2 months of waking up at 6 , 6.30 or 7 am depending on the available ride. With 4 hours a day of formal language classes, 5 days a week, returning to Pentedatillo all afternoons, under 30ºC everyday, work with groups that didn’t speak English and I couldn’t speak French or Italian, without time for me and without finding any continuos empathy with people. Big headaches!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nevertheless I’ve learnt many things until now,  I couldn’t help feeling very lonely in this place where I miss the food to my soul and some means for developing my spirituality. Of course later on I couldn’t help feeling very frustrated because I’m not connecting with the energy of the persons, of the actions and the places.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In these difficult moments, I could find some company and inspiration in the book “Personal world” of Gonçalo Cadilhe, written by this crazy Portuguese guy that decided to travel all around the world just using sea and land transportation, and never planes. (Thanks Raúl!)And another book “The power is inside you” of Louise Hay that helps me to re program myself (to be able to keep my personal balance) and to see the light in the end of the tunnel!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A lot of good vibes coming from also from cultural oasis like my visits to Firenze and Rome, Maria João e Mário Laginha concert in Pellaro simply gracious, or the temporary social oasis (such a pitty that they were so brief) with some Italians or foreigners that I have met, or with the Portuguese scouts from Barcelos in Florence, the exchange participants from Açores and the undoubtless the energetic 18hours visit of my friend Pedro Tomé, with our nice chats, exchanging ideas about ways of socializing and big differences between North and South of Italy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this moment, there is only one motivation that can make me move and that’s to find something positive, also to be able to understand and interact with the local spirit! To be able to do something that can be useful to someone and that I enjoy and feel I’m leaving a footstep or a open window to someone!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To finish ...&lt;br /&gt;I Hope that Rota Jovem’s exchange with participants from Israel and Lebanon goes really well!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The winner of “Lecca-lecca” contest was Sara Vieira, but I also received other interesting theories about lollypops!!!!&lt;br /&gt;Sara, feel free to come and collect your prize!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From 12 to 23 September you can find me doing a giro in Venezia, Padova, Bassano da Grappa, Trento and....! Whoever wants to join me is most welcomed!&lt;br /&gt;An energetical hug from CALAFRICA !( as some people call this region), (WITH ALL MY RESPECT and with a special cumpliment to MY AFRICAN FRIENDS!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S: After this, I’m ready to any project anywhere in the world!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love you all!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvh8HpSm1I/AAAAAAAAAA8/zF9yfaSw-n0/s1600-h/img036.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 272px; height: 189px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvh8HpSm1I/AAAAAAAAAA8/zF9yfaSw-n0/s320/img036.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250038213591079762" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;E agora o filme hardcore!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estou no meio da praça principal de Bova, a capital da área grecânica, converso com uma participante do intercâmbio que está a decorrer. Tenho vestida uma t-shirt da Associação Pro-Pentedatillo, uma das Associações onde estou a fazer o meu estágio, aproxima-se de mim um jovem casal, e o rapaz diz-me: -“Parabéns! Estão a fazer um excelente trabalho, é de louvar, principalmente porque estão a remar contra a maré!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Há 4 semanas atrás chego à Pousada de juventude de Pentidattilo onde trabalho, e estava uma garrafa plástica no chão e a janela do escritório toda queimada. Tinham tentado incendiar a Pousada! Carabinieri, fotógrafo, notícias nos jornais locais, telefonemas de solidariedade e apoio. Quem terá feito este atentado e porquê?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mais tarde são encontrados vestígios de tentativas do mesmo acto contra outros locais relacionados com pessoas que estão ligados ao desenvolvimento desta associação, e que também têm outros projectos empreendedores para a região.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terá sido uma manifestação da opinião local contra o trabalho da Associaçâo? ( Em anos passados, tiravam ou furavam os pneus das carrinhas da Associação!...).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terá sido um aviso para que a Associaçâo pare de desenvolver a aldeia, uma vez que trazendo maior número de visitantes e turistas, pode prejudicar eventuais negócios de contrabando?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nesta aldeia de 60 habitantes, foram presas 8 pessoas, aquando da morte do segundo chefe da Mafia no ano passado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dois incêndios em menos de um mês, um que se ficou pelos arredores, outro na passada semana que chegou às casas. A aldeia esteve em chamas cerca de 5 horas, depois de ter começado no dia anterior, o fogo subindo rodeou toda a aldeia. Foram horas complicadas. As pessoas refugiaram-se todas na praça onde eu moro e o fogo acabou por ser controlado com os Canader, os aviões que se abastecem de água no mar. Eu não assisti, mas vejo agora tudo queimado à volta das casas e nas colinas enquanto desço para Annà di Melito Porto Salvo. Como se relacionam todos estes acontecimentos?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Este é o cenário de Pentedatillo, adicionando características que se podem encontrar em todas as aldeias do mundo, com outras que não consigo ainda entender. Por exemplo: os vizinhos falam mal uns dos outros nas costas; quando querem dizer alguma coisa, mandam dizer por entreposta pessoa; tudo o que se faz, com quem se faz e como, está absolutamente controlado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No início, ouvia frases do género “Porque é que eu devo levá-la?”, “ Não quero levá-la”, “ Não lhe dou boleia nenhuma!”, enquanto caminhava pela aldeia com a Maria para pedir uma boleia para Annà onde tinha de apanhar o autocarro que me levava até à Universidade para aprender italiano. Aconteceu também haver pessoas com muito boa vontade, um senhor até me deu o seu número de telefone e dizia para lhe ligar sempre que precisasse de uma boleia, depois durante as viagens aproveitava para por a sua mãozinha na minha perna.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toda a população incluindo os próprios jovens está distante de uma realidade associativa e diria até do próprio sentido de comunidade. E eu que pensava que vindo para uma aldeia, poderia ter acesso à verdadeira célula da comunidade, sendo por isso mais fácil e acessível a minha integração. Gostava de sentir-me em casa, mas não é possível. A individualidade não é um fenómeno da cidade!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorri-se pouco e não há um verdadeiro espírito de acolhimento.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trabalho em equipa também não existe. Cada um faz o seu papel e isso basta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parte-se do pressuposto que as pessoas que aqui chegam devem saber como comportar-se de acordo com as regras locais sem as conhecer. Há um peso de valores conservadores.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O espírito é crítico e fechado em relação aos estrangeiros ou àquilo que não conhecem. Há um certo clima de desconfiança no ar! Alguém explica que de vez em quando há agentes da polícia infiltrados e por isso as pessoas fecham-se perante o desconhecido.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Não me sinto enquadrada, não gosto do cenário e não compreendo o porquê de trabalhar num local onde as pessoas manifestam de forma agressiva a sua indiferença e literalmente preferiam que nada fosse feito! Deveria chamar a este filme (Um)A Missão Impossível?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois de quase 2 meses a levantar-me às 6h, 6h30 ou 7h dependendo da boleia que estivesse disponível. Com 4 horas de curso de língua por dia, 5 dias por semana, regressar a Pentedatillo todas as tardes, debaixo de mais de 30ºC todos os dias, e trabalhar com grupos que não falavam inglês e eu que não falava francês ou italiano, sem tempo para mim e sem encontrar sintonia com as pessoas. Grandes dores de cabeça!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aprendi muito desde que aqui cheguei, no entanto não pude deixar de sentir-me muito só num local onde me faz falta o alimento para a alma e alguns meios para o desenvolvimento da minha espiritualidade. Mais tarde, inevitavelmente, chegou a frustração de não conseguir identificar-me com a energia das pessoas, das acções e dos locais.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nos momentos mais difíceis tem-me feito companhia e dado inspiração o livro “Planisfério pessoal” de Gonçalo Cadilhe, aquele português que andou a viajar pelo mundo inteiro durante um ano usando apenas transporte terrestre e marítimo. (Obrigada Raúl!) E “O poder está dentro de ti” de Louise Hay que me ajuda a reprogramar-me (a estar bem comigo própria!) e a ver um pouco de luz ao fundo do túnel !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muita energia positiva vinda também os oásis culturais como as minhas visitas a Florença e Roma, um concerto da Maria João e Mário Laginha em Pellaro, simplesmente harmonioso, ou os oásis sociais (pena que) temporários com alguns estrangeiros ou italianos, ou com os escuteiros portugueses de Barcelos em Florença, ou os participantes açoreanos do intercâmbio aqui em Pentedatillo e sem dúvida a energética visita de 18 horas do meu amigo Pedro Tomé, com as nossas agradáveis conversas trocando cromos sobre a forma como as pessoas se relacionam por estes lados e as diferenças abismais entre o Norte e Sul de Itália, em regiões extremas geograficamente, ambas com um estatuto especial para o país, uma vez que nao fizeram parte da Italia unificada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Neste momento, move-me a única motivação de conseguir encontrar aqui algo de positivo, conseguir perceber e interagir com o espírito local! Poder fazer algo que possa ser útil a alguém, que eu goste e em que sinta que estou a abrir uma janela ou a deixar uma pegada!...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E finalizando com outros assuntos...&lt;br /&gt;Espero que corra muito bem o intercãmbio que a Rota Jovem vai fazer com participantes de Israel e do Líbano!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A vencedora do passatempo Lecca-lecca foi a Sara Vieira, mas recebi outras teorias interessantes sobre “chupa-chupas”!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sara, quando quiseres cobrar o prémio estás à vontade!&lt;br /&gt;De 12 a 23 de Setembro podem encontrar-me em giro entre Veneza, Padova, Bassano da Grappa, Trento e ....! Quem quiser juntar-se à viagem é muito bem vindo!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Um abraço enérgico da CALÁFRICA !( como chamam alguns), (COM TODO O RESPEITO e com cumprimentos especiais para os MEUS AMIGOS AFRICANOS)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S: Depois disto, estou pronta para qualquer projecto em qualquer parte do mundo!&lt;br /&gt;Gosto muito de todos vocês!...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19358612-115676926771953542?l=themadalchemist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/feeds/115676926771953542/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19358612&amp;postID=115676926771953542&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/115676926771953542'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/115676926771953542'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/2006/08/mission-impossible.html' title='MISSION (IM)POSSIBLE?!!'/><author><name>ana castanheira</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10920150390064422321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3356/3886/1600/Ana01.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvhRc6csmI/AAAAAAAAAA0/GmO14JQjaQY/s72-c/img040.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19358612.post-115469492758184359</id><published>2006-08-04T05:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-25T12:28:34.715-07:00</updated><title type='text'>REGGIO CALABRIA</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvgSEV1m-I/AAAAAAAAAAs/zqhwljwqkqQ/s1600-h/img044.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvgSEV1m-I/AAAAAAAAAAs/zqhwljwqkqQ/s320/img044.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250036391638047714" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;Italian people of all ages are always very well dressed and perfumed while they walk around city center and Corso Garibaldi, main street for shopping. Women always wearing make up, high heels and nice hairdos.&lt;br /&gt;Men are tanned, well muscled and wearing sunglasses and always trying to pick up girls or… Men here greet other men with 2 kisses!!&lt;br /&gt;Even people, specially women that are asking money on the streets dress well, don’t seem as poor as that. Something’s unclear in this scenery!&lt;br /&gt;Reggio Calabria the capital of Calabria region seems something between an African or South American big city: traffic is chaotic, as traffic lights seems to have been forgotten; then you have old cars or not very well kept or even this cute small cars ( Fiat 500, see photo); some houses are abandoned, in bad state or not finished, and the most curious is that all around the walls of houses and buildings there are these mortuary adds like the ones we put in the newspaper, but these here in A3 size. While walking in the city this gives me a strange feeling.&lt;br /&gt;Water from pipes is salty, I don’t manage to drink it.&lt;br /&gt;If you want to go to the beach, (paromanic view over Sicilia included), you have to pay, but you’re entitled to an umbrella, 2 chairs and bar service. All throughout Via marina or Lungomare there are many bars around 100 metres long separated by 3 “normal “ free beaches of 50 meters each.&lt;br /&gt;The beach is a comfortable place, with showers of normal water ( that are free), I didn’t see yet life guards, but the sea is not very wavy here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eat icecream inside a brioche is similar to have a meal with the angels!!!&lt;br /&gt;In local buses, we pay when we leave the bus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Italian there are words that are written as in Portuguese but have different meanings. The strangest word to me is: Autista, that here means driver and in Portugal means a person that has this disease called autismo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other interesting resemblances, that may cause some laughs:&lt;br /&gt;Italian/ Portuguese&lt;br /&gt;-Cena (dinner in italian), part of a film or theatre play in Portuguese.&lt;br /&gt;-Manca ( lack, miss), lame person&lt;br /&gt;-palestra (gymnasium), conference&lt;br /&gt;-cativa ( bad), arrested&lt;br /&gt;-bruta (ugly), the one that abuses of her physically or verbally strenght to hurt another person or simply not polite or elegant person&lt;br /&gt;-Giro ( walk around)/ an interesting man physically&lt;br /&gt;-Pesca ( peach)/ pesca - Fishing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there are words that in Italian are female gender but male gender in Portuguese, the most funny ones to me are:&lt;br /&gt;-Il furgone- A carrinha ( The wagon)&lt;br /&gt;-Lo zaino – A mochila ( the backpack)&lt;br /&gt;-Il comune – A câmara muncipal ( Town hall)&lt;br /&gt;-La ciocollata – o chocolate ( chocolate)&lt;br /&gt;-Il paesagio – A paisagem ( landscape)&lt;br /&gt;-La golla – O pescoço (neck)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then we have this category of hard words to pronounce when Italian people learn Portuguese or vice versa:&lt;br /&gt;-cocodrillo-crocodilo ( crocodille)&lt;br /&gt;-frigorifero-frigorifíco ( refrigerator)&lt;br /&gt;-prigizia – preguiça ( lazyness)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For me there also words/expressions that are very carine- as they say here- (sweet), like:&lt;br /&gt;Pancia- que significa barriga ( belly)&lt;br /&gt;“Fai de finta”- faz de conta ( to pretend)&lt;br /&gt;“Pescecane” – Tubarão ( shark).&lt;br /&gt;“morsechino” – dentadinha (small bite)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’m very glad because here they also use the word Tipo, with the same sense as young people in Portugal use it. It makes me feel at home!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The nozy voices (like Eros Ramazotti) that usually I don’t like to hear, here make a lot of sense, as well as commercial music from classic modern Italian style. I’ll return to this subject in detail because here there are many points of interest if we speak about culture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who ever finds out first the meaning of “lecca-lecca” I’ll pay for a nice dinner here including 2 flavour ice-cream inside a brioche.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Begginning of August&lt;br /&gt;I believe I’ve already know a mafia apprentice.&lt;br /&gt;I’ve passed the exam of Italian, and now I’m attending a second language course level B2 - A.&lt;br /&gt;I’m already experiencing the motorino, is bellino, it’s an old Piaggio model of 1992, that starts working with the rotation of the pedal! ( photo).&lt;br /&gt;The work in the Associations va benessimo. To me work camps with young people is something very new, but it’s going fine!&lt;br /&gt;When I arrived I’ve participated in an action of my main hosting organization Pame Ambro, called Future forum, that brought together here in Pentedatillo around 33 experienced non formal education trainers or youth workers from all over Europe. More information soon on Pame Ambro’s website – www.pameambro.org. In this event, it was used a very brand new training methodology for me, that’s called “Open Space Technology”. I’m now very interested in this method and I want to participate in a training course on this subject as soon as possible.&lt;br /&gt;I haven’t travelled in Italia yet, because it’s expensive, it’s not easy to move from here and it’s very hot to travel also.&lt;br /&gt;I hope that some friends will came to visit me in August, Erica that lived with me at my house few years ago and Pedro Tomé, my Tuga (Portuguese) friend that’s here in Trento doing EVS. Maybe I’ll be meeting Marco, that was my former Leonardo trainee, somewhere when he comes to region of Puglia.&lt;br /&gt;In September, I hope that my friends Miguel and Quim will come to meet the front part of the boot.&lt;br /&gt;Now I feel the lack of a Portuguese hug and of vertical “mosh” alla Rota ( my association in Portugal)!&lt;br /&gt;Greetings con Zucchero!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvmEfu0QEI/AAAAAAAAABk/N672HjNUpAE/s1600-h/img049.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 281px; height: 194px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvmEfu0QEI/AAAAAAAAABk/N672HjNUpAE/s320/img049.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250042755542171714" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;REGGIO CALABRIA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Italianos de todas as idades passeam-se, pelo centro da cidade, Corso Garibaldi, rua principal para fazer compras e ver montras, sempre muito bem vestidos e perfumados. As mulheres pintadas, de saltos altos, com o cabelo arranjado. Os homens bronzeados, de óculos escuros, bem musculados e com um ar muito engatatão. Muitos homens cumprimentam-se com 2 beijos!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;As pessoas, principalmente as mulheres, que pedem na rua não se vestem mal, não parecem de facto pobres... Há qualquer coisa não muito clara neste cenário!&lt;br /&gt;Reggio Calabria, a capital da região da Calabria, faz-me lembrar uma cidade africana ou sul americana: o trânsito caótico, parece que se esqueceram dos semáforos, com carros velhos ou não muito estimados ou pequenos ( Fiat 500, ver foto anexa), algumas casas estão por concluir ou em mau estado e por todas as paredes dos edifícios ampliados em formato A3, são colocados anúncios de óbitos, tal como em Portugal saem nos jornais.&lt;br /&gt;A água que sai das torneiras é salgada, é difícil bebê-la.&lt;br /&gt;A praia com vista para a Sicília paga-se e dá direito a cadeirão com chapéu de sol e serviço de bar. Ao longo da Via marina, Lungomare existem estas praias -bares com 100 metros de tamanho, intervalados com 3 praias de 50 metros que não se pagam. A praia é um lugar muito cómodo com chuveiro de água doce ( grátis), no entanto ainda não vi nadadores salvadores, mas também não há grandes ondas?!&lt;br /&gt;Comer gelado dentro de um brioche é como fazer uma refeição com os anjos!!!&lt;br /&gt;Nos autocarros locais, paga-se à saída.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Em italiano há palavras que se escrevem como em Português, mas significam coisas diferentes, a mais estranha para mim é:&lt;br /&gt;Autista, que aqui significa motorista e em português significa uma pessoa que sofre de autismo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Outras interessantes, que podem ocasionar situações cómicas:&lt;br /&gt;-Cena (jantar em italiano), parte de uma peça de teatro ou de 1 filme&lt;br /&gt;-Manca ( falta), o que um coxo faz&lt;br /&gt;-palestra (ginásio), conferência&lt;br /&gt;-cativa ( má), presa&lt;br /&gt;-bruta (feia), aquele que abusa da força física ou é verbalmente deselegante&lt;br /&gt;-Giro ( passeio, volta)/ um homem ser interessante fisicamente&lt;br /&gt;-Pesca ( pêssego)/ pesca&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois há as palavras que são femininas em português e masculinas em italiano, as mais engraçadas são:&lt;br /&gt;-Il furgone- A carrinha&lt;br /&gt;-Lo zaino – A mochila&lt;br /&gt;-Il comune – A câmara municipal&lt;br /&gt;-La ciocollata – o chocolate&lt;br /&gt;-Il paesagio – A paisagem&lt;br /&gt;-La golla – O pescoço&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E aquelas difíceis de pronunciar para portugueses que aprendem italiano ou italianos que aprendem português:&lt;br /&gt;-cocodrillo- crocodilo&lt;br /&gt;-frigorifero- frigorífico&lt;br /&gt;-prigizia – preguiça&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Há aquelas palavras/ expressões carine (queridas, como se diz aqui), como:&lt;br /&gt;Pancia- que significa barriga&lt;br /&gt;“Fai de finta”- faz de conta&lt;br /&gt;“Pescecane” – Tubarão&lt;br /&gt;“Morsechino”- dentadinha- small bite&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O pessoal novo também usa tipo, com o mesmo sentido que nós. Faz-me sentir em casa!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As vozes analasadas que normalmente não gosto, aqui fazem sentido, assim como a música comercial dos clássicos actuais italianos. Mas voltarei a este assunto com mais detalhe, uma vez que culturalmente existem aqui muitos pontos interessantes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inicio de Agosto&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acho que já conheci um aprendiz de mafioso!&lt;br /&gt;Passei no exame de italiano, estou agora a fazer um segundo curso de italiano, nível B2.&lt;br /&gt;Já ando com o motorino, é bellino, uma piaggio de 1992 que pega rodando o pedal! ( pôr foto).&lt;br /&gt;E o trabalho com as Associações va benessimo. Para mim campos de trabalho com jovens é algo novo, mas está a correr bem.&lt;br /&gt;Quando cheguei, participei no Future forum, que reuniu aqui em Pentedatillo cerca de 33 formadores de educação não formal e animadores de juventude experientes de toda a Europa. Mais informações em breve no site da Pame Ambro- www.pameambro.org. Neste evento, foi usada uma metodologia nova que não conhecia, e que se chama “Open Space Technology”. Fiquei muito interessada neste método e quero participar num curso de formação assim que possível.&lt;br /&gt;Ainda não viajei em Itália, é caro e não é fácil sair daqui.&lt;br /&gt;Mas espero que me venham a visitar durante Agosto, a Erica que viveu comigo em minha casa, há alguns anos atrás, o Pedro Tomé, o meu amigo Tuga que está em Trento a fazer SVE. E talvez me encontre com o Marco, que foi meu estagiário Leonardo algures na região de Puglia.&lt;br /&gt;Em Setembro, espero que os meus amigos tugas, Miguel e Quim venham conhecer um pouquinho da pontinha da bota comigo!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Agora sinto a falta de um abraço português e de um “mosh” vertical à moda da Rota.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saudações con Zucchero!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19358612-115469492758184359?l=themadalchemist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/feeds/115469492758184359/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19358612&amp;postID=115469492758184359&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/115469492758184359'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/115469492758184359'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/2006/08/reggio-calabria.html' title='REGGIO CALABRIA'/><author><name>ana castanheira</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10920150390064422321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3356/3886/1600/Ana01.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A_TMeMYkF-k/SNvgSEV1m-I/AAAAAAAAAAs/zqhwljwqkqQ/s72-c/img044.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19358612.post-115220319860724171</id><published>2006-07-06T09:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-25T12:23:12.498-07:00</updated><title type='text'>0- Education for citizenship - 6 months in the South of Italy</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4074/1914/1600/2006_0701Image0071.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4074/1914/1600/2006_0701Image0057.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left;" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4074/1914/200/2006_0701Image0057.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;I’m in the South of Italy, in Melito di Porto Salvo, to do a training ship for 6 months about education for citizenship, under the European Union Programme Leonardo da Vinci. I arrived 4 weeks ago and I’m studying Italian in the University for foreigners in Reggio Calabria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pentedatillo is the village where I live. The houses on the rocks are being recovered under European financing and it will be finished this year. There will be some houses, like kind of hostels and 5 Museum houses related with the History, geography, animals, vegetation and plants, art of the region.&lt;br /&gt;I don’t get tired of looking at this rocks and walking on through them. There’s a special energy in this place!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In each week, more or less 20 to 30 young people work here on the rebuilding and recovering of the village essentially Belgium and Italian scouts that participate in the work camps of Pro-Pentedatillo Association. During their stay I develop for them an action around citizenship. More info in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://pentedatillo2006.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;http://pentedatillo2006.blogspot.com/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From this rocks, that according to a legend, a giant put here, you can see the coast, the sea and Sicilia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;30º to 40º daily degrees, with 4 hours of siesta, I live in the new part of the village in a modest house. In the village some times there’s no water, usually in the afternoon and night. My cooker doesn’t have owen, and only works sometimes, the electric plugs are falling apart and there’s no connection for the Tv anthem, i sleep with open windows. When we go out on the streets day and night we can witness all kind of animals: kind of gekkos, lizzards, big rats, snakes, wasps, piggeons, sparrows, falcons, hallows and big mosquitos. Cats and dogs are extremely thin, running away and gentle respectively.&lt;br /&gt;Separating trash and recycling is done. They have ecological points and they do select trash. In Portugal that would be hard to happen. The life cost is a little bit higher than in Portugal. 1 coffee costs 0,60€, 1 Birra Moretti 1,20€. Water and icecreams are cheap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After 50 minutes going down walking 4 km, we find the clear warm sea and rocks instead of sand. Paradise, where in one hour we can recharge batteries for the day.&lt;br /&gt;The hard conditions of this place, makes simple things more important , like work, food, health,communication and transports.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Myself after taking rides for few days, intend to buy a motorino, to become more independent. From monday to friday, di solito, I wake up at 6.30 am to take the bus from Anna di Porto Salvo to Reggio Calabria. It takes 30 minutes without traffic. Traffic here is real chaotic, reminds me some things that I've seen in Marrocoo or Venezuela: to give priority to the ones on your right it doesn’t exist, to go over traffic signs drawn on the roads, happens every minute. Whoever comes first wins!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The food, the usual is to have first the antipasti- cheeses, sausages, olives, aromatic herbs - ( starters), the first dish can be pasta with vegetables and a second plate not always with fish or meat it can be another kind of pasta, fruit and good wine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tarantela is the typical dance of Calabria region, it seems to be forgotten by the youngsters but alive for the older ones. It’s a strong dance, that can have more than10 minutes, where it’s possible to stay in transe!!! The repeated melody while a man dances around the woman trying to seduce her and she gives her no and yes signs. Che bello!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I walk on the streets, people take me as foreigner, communication is very not hard, apart from when people start to speak in dialect very fast. Curiously, the dialect has a lot of words that remind me Portuguese. It’s interesting the mix of language origins!&lt;br /&gt;It’s essentially an elderly and retired population. In August emigrants come for their vacations. The rest of the year around 70 persons live here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel like a traveller and a discoverer, each day is a new day, to live in a completely rhythm from what I was used to, with simple priorities. As I get to know people and their uses, I get to know a little bit more about myself. Nothing more ideal than being here at this stage of my life!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A dopo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks Paola for having me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baci mile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ana&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Next episodes: A week in Reggio Calabria, Discover the differences, What I am doing here?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4074/1914/1600/2006_0701Image0072.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; float: right;" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4074/1914/200/2006_0701Image0072.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estou no sul de Itália, em Melito di Porto Salvo, a realizar um estágio de 6 meses sobre educação para a cidadania, no âmbito do Programa Comunitário Leonardo da Vinci.&lt;br /&gt;Cheguei há 4 semanas e estou a estudar italiano na Universidade para estrangeiros em Reggio Calabria. Pentedatillo é a aldeia onde vivo. As casas da encosta são dignas de projecto de recuperação financiado a nível europeu, que terminará este ano. Haverá casas tipo albergue e 5 casas museu relacionadas com a história, geografia, fauna, flora e arte da região. Não me canso de olhá-las e de visitá-las, há uma energia especial neste local!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A cada semana aqui trabalham na reconstrução da aldeia, cerca de 20 a 30 jovens, essencialmente escuteiros e guias belgas e italianos que vêm participar nos campos de trabalho da Associação Pro-Pentedatillo. Durante a sua estadia, desenvolvo com eles uma acção sobre cidadania. + info: &lt;a href="http://pentedatillo2006.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://pentedatillo2006.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Destas pedras que, segundo reza a lenda, um gigante aqui pôs, avista-se a costa, o mar e a Sicília. Entre 30 e 40 graus diários, com direito a 4 horas de sesta, moro na parte nova da aldeia, numa casa antiga e modesta. Na aldeia por vezes não há água, normalmente todos os dias à tarde e à noite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O fogão que tenho não tem forno, e apenas um bico funciona ( às vezes!), as tomadas eléctricas estão a cair e não há ligação para a antena da televisão, dorme-se de janela aberta, quando se sai à rua de dia e de noite podemos testemunhar a presença de todo o género de animais: lagartixas, lagartos, ratazanas, cobras, vespas, pombos, pardais, falcões, corujas e melgas. Os gatos e os cães são extremamente magros, fugidios e afáveis respectivamente. Faz-se selecção de lixo diferenciado e reciclagem.&lt;br /&gt;O custo de vida é um pouco mais elevado do que em Portugal. Um café custa 0,60€, uma Birra Moretti 1,20€. Os gelados e a agua sao mais baratos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois de 50 minutos a descer a pé 4 km, encontramos o mar transparente e quente, e pedras em vez de areia. O paraíso, onde numa hora se recarregam as baterias para o dia. A dureza da vida deste local, faz das coisas mais simples, os verdadeiros cavalos de batalha dos que aqui moram, trabalho, alimentação, saúde, comunicacao e transporte. Eu própria depois de andar à boleia durante alguns dias, vou comprar um motorino para poder ser mais independente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De 2ª a 6ª feira levanto-me por volta das 6h30 da manhã para ir apanhar o autocarro a Anna di Porto Salvo com destino a Reggio Calabria, que demora 30 minutos se não houver trânsito. O trânsito aqui é mesmo caótico, lembra a America do Sul ou Marrocos, prioridade a quem vem da direita não existe, ultrapassar sobre traços contínuos é o pão nosso de cada minuto. Vale quem se desenrascar primeiro!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A comida. O normal é ter os antipasti-queijos, enchidos, azeitonas, as ervas aromáticas- ( aperitivos), o primeiro prato que pode ser pasta com legumes e um segundo prato que nem sempre tem carne ou peixe, e que pode ser apenas um outro tipo de massa, fruta e bom vinho.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Tarantela, a dança típica da região da Calabria, parece estar esquecida entre os mais novos, mas ainda viva para os mais velhos. È uma dança inebriante, que pode ter uma duração de mais de 10 minutos, em que é possível entrar em transe!!! A melodia repetitiva, enquanto um homem rodopia em volta de uma mulher tentando conquistá-la e ela vai dando os seus sinais de sim ou não.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quando passeio na rua, as pessoas sentem-me como estrangeira, a comunicação não é difícil, à parte de quando começam a falar rapidamente o dialecto da região. Curiosamente, o dialecto tem muitas palavras que fazem lembrar português. É interessante a mescla das origens das línguas!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;È uma população essencialmente idosa e reformada. Em Agosto os emigrantes passam aqui as suas férias. O resto do ano habitam aqui cerca de 70 pessoas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sinto-me uma viajante e uma descobridora, cada dia é um dia, para viver a um ritmo muito diferente do que estou habituada, e com outras prioridades, e à medida que conheço melhor as pessoas e os seus usos, fico a saber também algo novo sobre mim. Nada mais ideal nesta fase da minha vida! A dopo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obrigada Paola, por esta oportunidade.&lt;br /&gt;Baci mile.&lt;br /&gt;Ana&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Proximos episodios: Uma semana em Reggio Calabria, Descobra as diferenças, O que faço aqui.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19358612-115220319860724171?l=themadalchemist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/feeds/115220319860724171/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19358612&amp;postID=115220319860724171&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/115220319860724171'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19358612/posts/default/115220319860724171'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://themadalchemist.blogspot.com/2006/07/education-for-citizenship-6-months-in.html' title='0- Education for citizenship - 6 months in the South of Italy'/><author><name>ana castanheira</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10920150390064422321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3356/3886/1600/Ana01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
