Não é fácil, mas também nada é para sempre

Como si el reconocimiento consistiera en que lo comprendieran a uno. Nadie entiende nunca a nadie, y desde luego nadie entiende a los escritores. Van errabundos por reinos de emociones cojas y, la mayoría de las veces, no se entienden a sí mismos.

Leonardo da Vinci

during my worst times
on the park benches
in the jails
or living with
whores
I always had this certain
contentment-
I wouldn't call it
happiness-
it was more of an inner
balance
that settled for
whatever was occuring
and it helped in the
factories
and when relationships
went wrong
with the
girls.
it helped
through the
wars and the
hangovers
the backalley fights
the
hospitals.
to awaken in a cheap room
in a strange city and
pull up the shade-
this was the craziest kind of
contentment

and to walk across the floor
to an old dresser with a
cracked mirror-
see myself, ugly,
grinning at it all.
what matters most is
how well you
walk through the
fire.

Charles Bukowski - Ham on Rye: A Novel

It's hard to find the balance, when you are in love.
You're lost in the middle, cause you have to decide,
between mind and heart...

Between mind and heart...

Heart is the engine of your body.
But brain is the engine of your life.

Between mind and heart...

Heart is the engine of your body.
But brain is the engine of your life.

Between mind and heart.
Between mind and heart.

Between mind and heart.
