É tentar...
You came to me with open arms
To take away my fears
I took you in and you stayed a while
You lived with me right here
You told me to believe in something
Something that's true
Like the mountains and the deep blue ocean
So much bigger that you
You said: Just try
Come on, just try
Just try
Just try
Just try
I offered you a place to stay
Somewhere to rest your head
The Lord knows I need you here
There were something you said
You'll have to believe in something
Something bigger than you
Like the great white open spaces
There's religions too
She said: Just try
Come on, just try
Just try
Just try
Just try
You gave me more than I deserved
You gave me peace
You gave anything i loved in this world
And now I have to sleep
Just let me sleep...
Just try
Just try
I have to sleep
Just try
Just try

Haiti
No passado dia 12 completou-se mais um ano desde que um terremoto destruiu o Haiti. Esta é uma das formas possíveis de o recordar.

Feios, Porcos e Maus
According to the Brady Campaign, which advocates gun control, around 100,000 Americans are wounded or killed by guns each year. One of its studies showed US murder rates are almost seven times higher than rates in 22 other populous high-income countries who have similar rates of lower level crime. The same study showed that America's firearms homicide rate is almost 20 times higher.
Yet despite the violence the US Congress has not enacted any major firearms regulations other than a law aimed at improving state reporting for federal background checks. Indeed, regulations have actually loosened over the last decade as a 1994 assault-weapon ban expired in 2004. Most of the current debate in American policy circles has actually been around the issue of expanding citizens' rights to carry firearms openly in public.»

coisas que não ouvia há muito tempo...
Cuando tú apareciste,
penaba yo en la entraña más profunda
de una cueva sin aire y sin salida.
Braceaba en lo oscuro, agonizando,
oyendo un estertor que aleteaba
como el latir de un ave imperceptible.
Sobre mí derramaste tus cabellos
y ascendí al sol y vi que eran la aurora
cubriendo un alto mar de primavera.
Fue como si llegara al más hermoso
puerto del mediodía. Se anegaban
en ti los más lucidos paisajes:
claros, agudos montes coronados
de nieve rosa, fuentes escondidas
en el rizado umbroso de los bosques.
Yo aprendí a descansar sobre tus hombros
y a descender por ríos y laderas,
a entrelazarme en las tendidas ramas
y a hacer del sueño mi más dulce muerte.
Arcos me abriste y mis floridos años,
recién subidos a la luz, yacieron
bajo el amor de tu apretada sombra,
sacando el corazón al viento libre
y ajustándolo al verde son del tuyo
Ya iba a dormir, ya a despertar sabiendo
que no penaba en una cueva oscura,
braceando sin aire y sin salida.
Porque habías al fin aparecido.
