Os Melhores Momentos.
Ano passado estive em São Paulo, e um dos lugares que marcaram para mim foi a visita que fiz ao MASP. Lembro que havia muitas exposições interessantes por lá, mas uma delas me marcou muito: Uma exposição fotográfica chamada: Coleção Pirelli/MASP de fotografia – 17 a. Edição.
Entre tantas fotografias, uma delas chamou a minha atenção: Uma foto com uma revoada de borboletas, de todas as cores, num espetáculo único e belo. Eu lembro ter passado mais de meia hora olhando para aquela fotografia, uma explosão de cores, vida e movimento. Enquanto viver não vou esquecer das tantas sensações que aquela meia hora me trouxe.
Isso me faz pensar um pouco... Eu vejo tanto a gente perseguir as coisas grandes, correr como desesperados atrás das grandes conquistas e ainda sim, parecer às vezes que não há sabor na vida. Por quê? Porque os maiores prazeres estão, na minha opinião, nas coisas mais simples...
Às vezes eu coloco uma manta no chão, encho-a com travesseiros, espalho uns dois livros ao meu redor... Às vezes assisto um filme enquanto estou deitada nela, às vezes deito ali e apenas converso com Deus, às vezes leio um livro, enquanto escuto Tchaikovisky, tomando suco de uva (meu preferido) e fico ali, apenas sentindo o prazer de fazer algo que me faz tão bem...
Às vezes quando tenho tempo, saio de casa, vou ao comércio, não vou com o objetivo de comprar nada, vou apenas passear, sem rumo, sem destino, vou só para sentir a vida acontecendo ao meu redor. Eu posso ver os ambulantes anunciando suas promoções, posso ver o artista de rua fazendo sua apresentação, pura vida que me encanta!
E você? Quais são os pequenos deleites que você tem? Procure-os e reserve algum tempo para eles, Pois eles tem o poder de tranformar seus dias tão rotineiros nos mais especiais.

I’ve been in São Paulo last year and one of the best moments I had there was a visitation to MASP (São Paulo’s Art Museum). I recall there were many interesting exhibitions there, but one of them had really called my attention. A photographic exhibition called: Pirelli’s Collection/MASP of photography – 17 a. edition.
In the middle of so many photos, one of them caught my attention: A photo showing a flock of butterflies, an amazing view! I remember that I’ve spent over than thirty minutes staring at that photo. It was an explosion of color, life and movements. I’ll never forget the feelings that came up to me in that half an hour.
These things make me think about life. I see us as human race searching for big things, for great conquers, and nevertheless life seems to be tasteless, sometimes … Why? Because the greatest delights of life are in simple things.
Sometimes I just put a quilt on the floor, put some cushions on it and spread some books around me. I may be either watching a film or just talking with God… Sometimes I may be reading a book while I’m listening to some classic music, taking some grape juice (my favorite one) and I just stand there, just feeling the pleasure of doing something that makes me really good!
And when I have a free time I go downtown, not necessarily for buying, but just to take a walk, to feel the life happening around me. I can see street vendors advertising their products, I can see buskers performing, pure life that enchants me!
And what about you? What are the little delights that you have? Find and save some time for this, because they really have the Power of changing your common days into the most special ones!
