A gray, humid and rainy day, like almost all winter days here in Lisbon.
A thin rain driven by the wind wets my face
A different face, a lost face…
I am in Miratejo and expect the bus arrives at the station
In the meantime I look around: I feel strange, out of place
I feel on my shoulders the weight of my diversity and I feel observed
I wonder – “what do I doing here?”
I try to listen to the voices of passersby who paint the story of my present with colors that I don’t know and give off scents that I never heard before …
While not knowing the meaning of every word, I begin to understand what they say… I can follow the conversations of my colleagues, their concepts, their ways of doing, to joke, their way to approach the work, to approach to life…
(Thanks to all of them becouse now I know how much is important working with Humilty!)
Here is a bus! … but no, it’s not mine
And…I come back to me
I try to hide my Ego behind a cigarette,
but both are consumed quickly;
So I try to mix my thoughts with a song of Radiohead
… But there is already a radio in my head!
Just so, an “annoying” Portuguese radio, that as an incessant reggae slips into my head, and yet It has a sound so catchy, yet …I hear in these sounds something to familiar, so close …
this is Fado! Soundtrack of this short ‘movie’
It’s the new, and makes me feel alien to that context, the new that investing all my senses up to accustom them
Every cell in my body seems to have already guessed and shudders to shout revolution in my mind, in my heart … and I start to get tired of these my thoughts, these stupid doubts, and already feel the taste of freedom … I turn my head and look up to the street but, I don’t see any buses
Suddenly a car with tinted windows approaches in front of me, forcing me to look me in the mirror:
Now it’s true! That man is really different
I say to myself “Try to get everything with a smile…and with humilty!
Don’t let your doubts decide for yourself
Be Your Own Adventure
Because the Life is a chance, and should be, MUST be for everyone!
até …amanhã 😉
