Natural Kind of Ink © Bernardo Guerra Machado

by Bernardo Guerra Machado

Learn the language of the mountains –

there is no necessity of moving them aside

recurring to strength;

no,

we can just kindly ask them to let us pass.

Your footsteps in the snow,

besides those of hares, bears, and wolves,

is probably the best book never written!

Fill your story with as many strange, crazy characters

as you can –

and call them Friends.

Spread some chaos

every time possible.

Master the Tango with Tragedy;

and be conscious that a diet

based on misadventures

is the best one!

Try thoroughly to gather empirical evidences

to the thesis

that there is always some solution;

and never accept the null hypothesis –

there is something out there, I’m certain!

I used to be afraid to listen to

“Homeward Bound”, from Simon & Garfunkel,

while I was away…

Today, it gives me an enormous pleasure

to ear it –

I wish I could wish I was

homeward bound!

Be bound to what makes you feel

that Life treats you well – and

enjoy your journey binding Humanity

to something extraordinary!
