alguns pensamentos...

Eu estava pensando um pouco a respeito do mundo, da minha vida, de como estou passando dia apos dia, das pessoas na meu redor. Acho que e estranho que a gente gosta tanto de complicar as coisas que na sao complicadas--falando de fulando e sucrando--por alguns, uma solucao simples nao e uma solucao certo por que nao podem deixar o que ja sabem. Eles nao consiguem abrir suas cabecas e aceitam ideias diferentes. Eles nao aceitam por que e diferente e so isso. E isso nao pode ser assim. E ridiculo as vezes a maneira em que nos agimos. A gente nao quer mudar; nao quer pensar diferente.
Eu tava falando com alguns amigos e chegei a realidade que eu sou abencoado. Tenho pessoas--amigos--que pensam fora da caixa, que querem um mundo melhor. Espero que possamos ver isso um dia, que realizamos um mundo melhor--juntos. Um individuo por cada vez.
Ta bom. Sei que to indo numa circulo com esses comentarios, mas tinha que botar em algum lugar.

Meu portugues esta horrivel.

In other news. Last week, I went to to mountains with Jason. We took up some snowshoes and ventured out up Provo Canyon. It has been too long since I have been outside experiencing nature the way I love to experience it. Slowly, and taking it all in one step at a time.

relembrando o passado e olhando para o futuro




I miss summer. I know I'm not supposed to be the one to say that. I know I love winter and snow and cold and all that that entails. But seriously, I miss summer. And those tan lines.

I have been home for 7 months from Brasil. I think about my time spent home and wonder if I've done anything good in comparison to the 18 months I spent in Canela, Montenegro and Farroupilha. I hope that my progress hasn't been deterred by my time home, at school, with friends, etc.. I hope my desire to ever be a change in peoples lives hasn't been thwarted by my selfishness.


This is picture is of Rosie's family. Hours upon hours spent with this women. Teaching, loving, praying, playing, cooking, eating... Oh how I miss Rosie.

A lot of nostalgia has been floating around lately. Digging through past pictures and music and journals. It's been interesting to relive the feelings and experiences I had and to remember the people who I've met and loved.


When Rae and I lived together, we only had one chair and one desk. We utilized that. I miss our bald heads and padawan braids.
