Breath of Life
Try to be like the deaf who don’t hear,
The blind who don’t see, So that you don’t hear and don’t see what makes you suffer.
If you want to be happy…
Try not to remember moments from the distant past,
Moments that never come back, Impossible to make your present happy.
If you want to be happy
Don’t let yourself be dominated by everything you feel.
Don’t change your smile for your sadness, Don’t be bitter for your disbelief, your disappointments.
If you want to be happy…
Don’t lock yourself in your solitude…
Seek to be like the deaf who cannot hear,
The blind who cannot see.
AND SO, WHO KNOWS YOU WILL BE HAPPY.
While walking. Rio, August 1999

ALWAYS THINKING
Breath of Life Full of curiosity one day I asked Life: "Life, who would I be if I wasn't who I am now?" I'm sure it wouldn't be known as Maria Lucia, Maria, Lucia or Lucinha... Maybe it could have other names, like Laura, Rita or Carolina! But with such different...
SWEET CHARLOTTE
Breath of Life Life, who would I be, if I were not what I am today?For shure I would not be called Charlotte or sweet Charlotte... As I am known at home. I could have another names! Laura, Rita or Caroline!But, with such different names, I would not be the sweet...
LOVERS IN LOVE
Breath of LifeI will cry out one day like a lover in love,With the same force when Spring comes,Covering once more trees with newly born leaves,And bringing life to the huge flourishing fresh fields. I will cry out one day like a lover in love,With the same intensity...
