at first life is simple
and beautiful
then
with the development of thought
becomes complicated
bewildered
just dies
---could it be that the soul is the body waiting for death?!---
if we were uncounscious
death would be
simply
a sudden surprise on the way
---I explain better---
one day I saw a monkey get shot
unexpectedly
he tried to flee from the wound
until he fell dead
on the ground

ao princípio a vida é simples
e bela
depois
com o desenvolvimento do pensamento
torna-se complicada
aturdida
limita-se a morrer
---será que a alma é o corpo à espera da morte?!---
se fossemos inconscientes
a morte seria
simplesmente
uma súbita surpresa no caminho
---eu explico melhor---
um dia vi um macaco levar um tiro
inesperadamente
de olhos esbugalhados
tentou fugir da ferida
até cair morto
no chão

For the first time I went to a Marocain restaurant. I didn't appreciate; sweet food, without salt and pepper, they don't sell alcoholic drinks (in Portugal, imagine?!).
Enough exotic atmosphere.

waiting for
entrance into the Lisbon Planetarium
for travelling through the space
your smile was already
opening the doors
of the Universe

...and isn't it that to celebrate my 84th I took a wonderful spatial trip through the Universe, comfortably semi-declined in a chair of the Planetarium?!...

convenhamos que o silêncio
é mais benéfico à alma do que a poesia
e
se for absoluto
nada existe que o perturbe
eternamente

we are beings-towards-death
---Heidegger said---
and we celebrate life
as if we were beings-towards-life
and in the end we do not escape
death
this permanent restlessness
///
somos seres-para-a-morte
---disse Heidegger---
e nós celebramos a vida
como se fôssemos seres-para-a-vida
e afinal não nos livramos
da morte
essa permanente inquietação
