Partida com destino a Colombo...

O ano passado visitei o Sri Lanka seis semanas depois da ocurrencia da tragedia do tsunami.
Mesmo com alguma preparacao, as emocoes a que me expus, ultrapassou em muito aquilo que eu esperava encontrar, nomeadamente o testemunhar da enorme coragem e bravura de criancas que tinham acabado de perder tudo, muitas delas, ate’ as suas proprias familias.

Foi uma viagem carregada de emocao e de licoes de vida.

Um ano depois regresso para visitar os meus amiguinhos do Sri Lanka e se possivel levar-lhes uma carrada de sorrisos!

Os templos que a selva abraça...

A selva abraça com força as pedras do passado para que o trabalho de ontem produza frutos hoje.
A selva abraça com carinho as flores do presente para que elas floresçam e produzam os frutos de amanha.

Wondering in Ankor Wat

No seio de Ankor Wat

Ankor Wat induz em nos uma sensacao de fascinio quase de cortar a respiracao.
Corredores infinitos e vazios, escadarias de pedra íngreme ate' ao ceu, esculturas e baixo-relevos, alimentam a nossa imaginacao que nos leva para sitios e tempos distantes.
De vez em quando por detraz das pedras, surgem olhares de vida que nos trazem de volta ao presente.
Entrar em Angkor Wat e' caminhar por entre a historia e o mito, a religiao e a cultura, o passado e o presente, o silencio e a vida, o mundo e nos mesmos...
E' sobretudo uma experiencia pessoal que mexe com o interior de quem la entra!
