Breath of Life
Don't let yourself be defeated
Be a winner.
Don't get lost and scared in crooked paths
In which Life often makes you walk.
Step firmly, as if you were walking
On fresh green grass,
With your will to win,
With your will to win Life.
Always seek the hope of a victorious tomorrow.
Never let yourself be dominated by an uncertain present,
Offered to you at this point in your life
For a chaotic and disbelieving world.
Always aim at the example of nature,
When the flowers bloom with the arrival of spring,
Winning the constant struggle against a wild nature,
Often seeming to want to succumb.
BE YOU, TRUST YOURSELF.
Always look up and forward.
You will find I'm sure,
The path of your searches... the path of your dreams.
At home. London, September 1994

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...
