The unreasonable reasons of love (As sem-razões do Amor)

Eu te amo porque te amo.

I love you because I love you.

Não precisas ser amante,

You don’t need to be a lover,

e nem sempre sabes sê-lo.

And not always you know how to be one.

Eu te amo porque te amo.

I love you because I love you.

Amor é estado de graça

Love is a state of grace

e com amor não se paga.

And with love can't be repaid.

Amor é dado de graça,

Love is given for free,

é semeado no vento,

Is sown in the wind,

na cachoeira, no eclipse.

In the waterfall, in the eclipse.

Amor foge a dicionários

Love escapes dictionaries

e a regulamentos vários.

And the many regulations.

Eu te amo porque não amo

I love you because I don’t love

bastante ou de mais a mim.

Enough or too much my own self.

Porque amor não se troca,

Because love can’t be exchanged,

não se conjuga nem se ama.

Can’t be conjugated or loved.

Porque amor é amor a nada,

Because love is love for nothing,

feliz e forte em si mesmo.

Happy and strong in itself.

Amor é primo da morte,

Love is death’s cousin,

e da morte vencedor,

And death’s conqueror,

por mais que o matem (e matam)

It doesn’t matter how much it is killed (and it is)

a cada instante de amor.

Every moment of love.

Carlos Drummond de Andrade.

Mr Grant

Mr Grant is a black and white cat that wanders the neigborhood. Every day he comes with his meowing, like he is looking for help, but he always flee from any contact with humans.

I wonder what story Mr Grant hides. The places where he goes, the things he sees, the dangers he escapes every time. Sometimes I think that being Mr Grant is good. Sometimes, I think that being Mr Grant is bad. Does he like to be a tramp cat? Or does he secretly want to be like Ms Lily, our house cat?

Or it is all just musings of my dreaming mind?

““Dreams are like plants: if you don’t take care of them while they’re seedlings they wither and die. And you can’t imagine what it’s like to have the stink of a dead dream following you throughout your entire life.””

—

Zé Nariz, Ovo de avião (Airplane Egg), by Rita Espeschit:

“Sonhos são que nem plantas:  se não cuidar deles enquanto são brotinhos, murcham e morrem. E você não imagina o que é o fedor de um sonho defunto acompanhando a gente a vida toda.”

What if your dream is like the grass that is stepped and burned and uprooted but still resists?
