A brief story of an unborn…

She once believed the sky was going to fall on her head, deeply… The open doors were all going to collapse while the endless pain would remain in every each step she took… She was utterly convinced her vulnerable image was falling into a thousand pieces… She constantly felt the unfairness and dishonesty of life… Anger and frustration lurking beneath her dead skin in a world where she only wept…

One day, though, the rain suddenly stopped falling and she was rejuvenated through the warmth of the sun… The warmth which helped her overcome the timidity in every each cell of her body… She is now getting ready to introduce her true self to the rest of the world while her story continues…

OK! I am blogging from the Capital City… It’s freezing cold and I’m really full… Ottawa is much prettier at nights… Much friendlier also… Jean and Louise are the names of my new friends… A couple whom I just met less than hour ago!

I’m now going under my duvet and start counting my sheep… I will however write more soon… or perhaps not!

Sweet dreams my friends…

You sat around wondering why your luck had changed for the worse… Never thought it might have been for the better… So you decided to follow the crowd, the same old crowd, the certain routines, and live a safe, though boring, existence… You didn’t see the signs because you never wanted to or maybe you were too busy with the other half of your mind… You believed what you wanted to believe and you let your thoughts deceive you…

And you finally stopped while holding on to the image of your dreams in the other end of your mind…

“The function of music is to release us from the tyranny of conscious thoughts.”

— Sir Thomas Beecham

You totally lost it while trying hard to impress… After waiting too long and being too timid to take the initiative, you finally did it… And this time you went to the extreme… You thrust your way into the spotlight and you became a star…

A lavish star with only few words echoed in your mind: “Stop here… Stop right here.”

To be continued…

After almost eight years of living in a country where its people have a huge passion for hockey, like Brazilians for football (soccer in North America!), I was lucky enough to see my first live hockey match at the beautiful Air Canada Centre, which just so happened to be part of an event that I myself organized for a group of 20. The view from our booth was amazingly cool and in fact helped put you in the right energizing mood. I realized the atmosphere and sounds combined crank up your energy after a long and relatively tiring day… Even for me, who is not a huge hockey fan and rather hopeless in knowing the rules of the game…

The match was between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Columbus Blue Jackets… The result was sweet, as Toronto won 3-1 over the Americans! Am I being too Canadian now or what?!

I finally decided to enter… Starvation made me sit on the same wooden chairs covered with dark green leather… Same old leather chairs… Different faces, though, accompanied with aggression … colorless and tense air filled the room… Quite nerve-wracking… It just wasn’t the same… Made me breathe in and out stronger to stop the frustration…

I crossed the same street while breathing in and out… While entering, the red lights, the art from an unknown artist, the paper on the table and the dialogue between two friendly faces refreshed my blank mind and made me smile again… Beauty…
