It's an emergency resource, you know.<BR/><BR/>I'm so chicken too...<BR/><BR/>Much love to both (and CM too!)<BR/><BR/>PS: I guess the anonimity is because of the redesign of the comments platform, it no longer says "Other" but rather now suggests and "Alias" and/or being "Anonymous". I guess it must be the root of the thing, no?<BR/><BR/>xoMiguel Canehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12716022286513411725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7257882700788109358.post-5646535833304079772008-01-09T17:08:00.000-08:002008-01-09T17:08:00.000-08:00CM: Well, don't die!And, what's with the anonymity...CM: Well, don't die!<BR/>And, what's with the anonymity?<BR/><BR/><BR/>Patricia: I know saudade feels good to some people.

Latinos seem to be more susceptible, but I've seem people from upstate New York with the same symptoms.<BR/><BR/>A friend of mine denies Saudade. She explains Saudade is jut another peculiar Portuguese creation like salt cod fish or Fado music.<BR/><BR/>I see Saudade from a Brazilian-BossaNova-Perspective. Differently from sister Nostalgia, Saudade is about joy and passion. It doesn’t hurt and its after tast is sweet.<BR/><BR/>It's such a good sensation that I want to keep all pictures and souvenirs from what is (was) worthed for my life. It feels good when Saudade comes.<BR/><BR/>Great post, Dushka. Loved it!<BR/><BR/>“Vai minha tristeza e diz a ela que sem ela<BR/>Não pode ser, diz-lhe numa prece<BR/>Que ela regresse, porque eu não posso<BR/>Mais sofrer. Chega de saudade a realidade<BR/>É que sem ela não há paz, não há beleza<BR/>É só tristeza e a melancolia<BR/>Que não sai de mim, não sai de mim, não sai<BR/><BR/>Mas se ela voltar, se ela voltar,<BR/>Que coisa linda, que coisa louca<BR/>Pois há menos peixinhos a nadar no mar<BR/>Do que os beijinhos que eu darei<BR/>Na sua boca, dentro dos meus braços<BR/>Os abraços hão de ser, milhões de abraços<BR/>Apertado assim, colado assim, calado assim<BR/>Abraços e beijinhos e carinhos sem ter fim<BR/>Que é pra acabar com esse negócio de você viver sem mim.<BR/>Não quero mais esse negócio de você longe de mim...” (Joao Gilberto e Tom Jobim)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7257882700788109358.post-32329590119762666802008-01-08T08:22:00.000-08:002008-01-08T08:22:00.000-08:00Please, when I die, don't come into the house and ...Please, when I die, don't come into the house and throw away a<BR/>lifetime's accumulation of travel<BR/>mementos, albums, files, and a<BR/>valuable library full of unique books, many of them irreplacable.<BR/>Donate them to someone who can put<BR/>them to good use.<BR/>Thanks<BR/>CMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7257882700788109358.post-3539852011080879822008-01-07T21:01:00.000-08:002008-01-07T21:01:00.000-08:00Exactly, Rhona!

With my mom, she always wants me to call and let her know I'm home safe after I've seen her. It's like we go back in time to when I was living at home and I needed to check in. Or it's because I come back into her life on a different level when I'm at her house and she feels more connected and wants to make sure I'm ok.<BR/><BR/>It makes me sad as I wish we lived closer and I did get to see her on a more regular basis. And it always makes me wonder why my life's journey took me away from my mom.<BR/><BR/>-RhonaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
