Tudo vale a pena, quando a alma nao e pequena

"...Was it worth?
It is worth while, all, If the soul is not small. Whoever means to sail beyond the Cape
Must double sorrow - no escape.
Peril and abyss has God to the sea given And yet made it the mirror of heaven"

Pessoa in Mensagem

Portugal...

"...Portugal reared me in my green, my darling Alanguer but the dank, corrupted air
That festers in the marshes around there
Has made me food for fish here in the snarling, Fierce seas that dark the Abyssinian shore, Far from the happy homeland I adore.”

Camoes in On a Shipmate, Pedro Moniz, Dying at sea.

First Blog... Sad reasons...

It was time to join, after promising it once again to Devrim.

But the main reason I am doing my first posting is a sad one... At the moment I am in Rotterdam doing a CEED and I got a bad news...

Being far from home, I felt the need to share some thouhgs... A neighbour in my home village in Portugal just died this Saturday in a car accident... She was 20 years old and I practically saw her everyday that I visit my home village.

Main cause: speed...

Take some moments to think about this... Carefull...
