I Was Poetry Before All.

Eu fui poesia

Complex Simplicity

Simplicity is genius.

Simple as breathing,
with no more effort or glory, without effect
or shame.

Simplicity as a virtue that in addition to existence.
The very existence,that adds nothing
nor wealth or anything.
no wealth or something.

Simplicity is freedom, lightness and transparency.

Simple as air, free as air
Don't be too serious, or dramatic.
I followed my merry way, light-hearted,
my soul in peace, without purpose, without nostalgia, without impatience.

The world, my kingdom is enough for me.
This is eternity, which is the height.

There's nothing to prove, once it's not there,
or no where to look, because everything is simply there.

What could be simpler than simplicity?
What's lighter?
The virtue of wisdom, and wisdom of the saints.

Simplicity is a progress,
simplicity is complex.

Since I haven't posted in a while, tonight I'm taking time to do what I love. As always, my posts aren't just about things I write, but also quotes I like and music I love. I'm just here to share a little bit of what I experience in life. Hope you enjoy reading my posts, as much as I enjoy writing/posting them.

This, just in while talking to a friend, "if I'm not at peace with myself, who else would I be at peace with!?"

S.

Feel first, think after
Forgive first, judge after
Love first, educate after
Forget first, learn after

Liberate first, teach after
Eat first, sing after

Own first, consider after
Act first, then judge

Browse first, then contribute.
But above all,
Live first, die later.


Mário Quintana, Brazilian Writer
Translated by me S.

"Nada do que é grande surge repentinamente, nem mesmo a uva, nem os figos. Se agora me disseres: Quero um figo, respondo-te: É preciso tempo. Antes de tudo, deixa virem as flores, depois que se desenvolvam os frutos e que amadureçam."

(filosofo Epiteto)
