Kindness is a language the deaf can hear and the blind can see. (Mark Twain)

About Me


Thanks for visiting this page!Friends are welcome!I just can't assure I'll have the time to answer to everyone's messages neither chat with you. But just allowing people to add me can be something nice too, even if I don't have much time to check everybody's profiles and develop deep friendship with each one of you.A bit of my history...I was born in a city called "Rio Grande", extreme south of Brasil, where I grew up surrounded by the wings of this lovely, warm big family, in which my great-grandmother was the boss. ...In Brasil, relatives can be "family" even more than your own parents - it doesn't matter if you are or not in a conventional family, since you have plenty of love while you're raised. I'm so thankful for this. ...I think I'll always call that place "home", because it's where I built the bases of who I am. Some people say that when you teach a child the right way to go, even when becoming an ancient, she won't stray. They never had much money, but they made me rich inside.

My Interests


I'm someone ecletic. Almost everything interests me! ...But let's be practical: sports, politics, economy, history, geografy (caribbean islands, Polinesia, Noronha)...

..... I'm also fascinated by the way people connect to the Higher Being, the Creator (whatever they may call their conscience). So that's why I respect and like to learn about all religions (now I've been metting Hinduism)...I'm also interested in psychology and psychiatry, poetry, humour, languages, movies, travelling, and almost all kind of music...

I'd like to meet:


"True Love, come listen to the silent sea with me... Come feel the fresh breeze in your soul, the caresses of pure sunlight on your skin... Come fly away with me to the Timeless Land."
"An oceanic joy broke upon calm endless shores of my soul. The Spirit of God, I realized, is exhaustless Bliss. " (Paramahansa Yogananda)
I wish I had met Bhagavan Shree Rajneesh (OSHO) and swalowed from his peace, delighted on this eternal joy that seems to come from his words, as a scent of many flowers, floating on the rivers of my soul.

"Without meditation, energy remains passion; with meditation, the same energy becomes compassion. Passion and compassion are not two energies, they are one and the same energy. Once it passes through meditation, it is transformed, transfigured; it becomes qualitatively different. Passion moves downwards, compassion moves upwards; passion moves through desire, compassion moves through desirelessness; passion is an occupation to forget the miseries in which you live, compassion is a celebration, it is a dance of attainment, of fulfillment...you are so fulfilled that you can share." - Osho, Ancient Music in the Pines

These ones I intend to meet personaly:Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba

"Let the different faiths exist, let them flourish, and let the glory of God be sung in all the languages and in a variety of tunes. That should be the Ideal. Respect the differences between the faiths and recognize them as valid as long as they do not extinguish the flame of unity." Sathya Sai Baba

Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso

"This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness". Dalai Lama

"Love is never a relationship; love is relating. It is always a river, flowing, unending. Love knows no full stop; the honeymoon begins but never ends. It is not like a novel that starts at a certain point and ends at a certain point. It is an ongoing phenomenon. Lovers end, love continues - it is a continuum. It is a verb, not a noun." - Osho

On your part great patience is needed, and a trust that the whole existence is in support of all those who are trying to grow spiritually. It is not you who are trying to grow spiritually; it is existence who, through you, is trying to reach to its utmost heights.” OSHO
