Traveling, being outside, especially in the woods, being with friends, spending time with my family, music, diversity, experiencing life, pondering mindfulness and Spirituality

"Janela Para O Mundo" by Milton Nascimento
English Translation:
From my window
The world looks like my backyard
As I travel I see that
All is the same, everywhere
The story in every one of us
To discover in the distance
What we once held in our hands.
My Brazilian life is universal
The same dream, the same love
Translated to human understanding
To look into the world
Is to realize
All I already had known
I will not be a foreigner
I am a citizen of the World
I'd like to meet:
Nelson Mandela, people with open minds but will stand for something, people with kind hearts.
