An owl sings a lullaby
while the moon draws a silver crib
for a newborn superstar.
In the middle of one of
the Earth's lungs,
in the heights of Serra do Mar,
Iguazu's performance starts.
It grows up faster as it slithers
across a paradise,
listening to the oldest nature's songs,
under the brightest skies.
As its best fan,
beauty follows
its adventures to the South
without any plan,
eternal journey of joy,
among infinite cuddles,
the best dream to enjoy.
Heaven's door opens
when Iguazu river falls,
sublime scenery to admire
hugged by God's calls.
Majestic Iguazu falls,
a natural wonder,
a masterpiece painted
by the best artist ever.
The long walk (Serra de Estrella)
Crossing from France to Portugal, my car got stuck
in the snow, on the mountain of Sierra de Estrella
It was the year when much snow fell, but I walked on
coming down, I felt like Moses and his tablets.
It was getting warmer; the first to go was my coat
and tie, later my trousers jacket
Over Alentejo, it was hot; I traded my trousers with
a tramp who gave me his shorts and sandals.
When I arrived in Vilamoura, I was stopped by the police
and asked who I was. “English, I Said.” “No, you are not.”
“Yes, I’m” “No, you are not a proper English man
who will always wear socks with his sandals.”
There in *SIERRA PELADA *
all that glitters is gold..
if not on the SOIL, but
in the golden toothed mouth
of Mr. Jose Rich Coe'... !
PS Serra pelada mountain MINING in Brazil
Guará, the Brazilian Ibis
as our guarana...
from the atlantic forest
what's left for us to
enchant !
Maned, chromatic summary
of beauty...
the passing black
when sprouting with all
shed on its threshold...
White Guara
almost virginal in the morning
youth... as well as
if for life
if you showed...
In the finale, or in maturity,
biological chromatism
again shows...
resembles, reddens
even though it is not the case,
adult now in life...
Guará, free wonder.
majesty in the Serra do Mar.
Gorgeous nature... !
Asking forgiveness does take courage
Crushed another to the ground
Must be prepared in rejection
Have courage
Without courage to ask forgiveness
Will remain like the paralytic
Imprisoned on a spiritual bed of guilt
Misery and isolation
Pride, my only companion
Blessed Junipero Serra understood this
He preached on foot hundreds of miles on Western Coast of North America
To emphasize the crushing weight of pain
He often punctuated his sermons by striking a large rock to his chest
Thousands found courage to respond
Seeking the healing that only Eternal God can provide
Do you need courage today?
Spirit offers courage when we approach Him in the Sacrament of Reconciliation
There, we will find condemnation and rejection
He will bid us to receive His forgiveness
Healing and restoration
Have Courage Come to Him
