As usual, the train would pass in the early hours of the morning in the small and welcoming town situated at the foot of the mountain that houses the monastery. I was returning home after another period of studies. My mind and heart were glad for the grains of knowledge......

From the house where I live, in Rio de Janeiro, to Sedona, in the mountains of Arizona, it was two airplanes and a car trip from Phoenix, almost a day travelling. I always arrive very tired. That time was no different. When I arrived, Starry Song, the shaman who had......

“Every time someone is imprisoned in himself, he shows what he is yet to be, but isn’t at the present moment. Then he suffers because of the artificiality by which he conducts his life”, said Loureiro, the elegant shoemaker who loved red wines and books on philosophy. He went on:......

The Inheritance

When my grandfather traveled to the stars, I was no more than a teenager. I remember spending weekends with his other grandchildren at the house on Curuzu Street, in São Cristóvão, a working class neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, where he lived. On the same street, across the pavement, was......

Decadence

The house looked like a castle. I’ve been there only once before, almost ten years ago, at Rodrigo’s fiftieth birthday party. It was a gathering of millionaires.

We were under the leafy oak tree in the backyard of the Starry Song’s house in Sedona, in the mountains of Arizona, where people gathered to hear the shaman tell the stories that contained the ancient wisdom of his people. Sitting on colourful blankets spread across the lawn, everyone was......

When I received the news of uncle Pedro’s death, I had no hesitation in travelling to be with his children, my cousins, in this moment that is so sad and difficult for some, but so beautiful and renewing for others, depending on the observer’s point of view. I have a......

Discipline

by YoskhazFebruary 14, 2023February 14, 20230

From a very young age I had difficulties in dealing with authorities and hierarchy. Taking orders was something that bothered me. Discipline was linked to ancestral issues of domination of one individual over another, subservience, emotional abuse and slavery. Feudal relations between suzerains and vassals. Rebellious, I was averse to......

A little is enough

YoskhazFebruary 8, 2023February 8, 2023

by YoskhazFebruary 8, 2023February 8, 20230

I have the habit of accepting, as far as possible, all the invitations that are made to me. I believe that sometimes they may be the doors I seek for the inevitable existential changes or precious lessons that add so much and prepare me for the transformations that are to......
