Saudade

There is a Portuguese word that doesn’t not exist in any other language. It’s “saudade”.

The meaning is very "ours", very specific to a culture of sorrow, desperation and sadness, that the Portuguese reality sometime can be.

But it’s nevertheless a beautiful word. And it means “to miss something to the point that it hurts”.

Happy new year! Feliz ano novo!

Hi. Olá.

In this comming year: enjoy the company of your family. Cherish the gift of having friends. Take care of the environment. Give less importance to material possessions. Enjoy your freedom and well-being.

Fell good as much as you can. Be happy most of the time. Achieve your healthy stress levels.

And remember. This is your life, and it ends one minute at the time. Live to the fullest now! Do not wait for rewards that are promised to come later. Be thankful for what you have this moment and try your best to make that feeling spread.

Have a great 2007. May this be an extraordinary year.


Neste ano que agora entra: aprecia a companhia da família. Dá valor aos seus amigos. Toma cuidado com a Natureza. Dá menos importância aos bens materiais. Goza a tua liberdade e o teu bem-estar.

Sente-te bem sempre que puderes. Sê feliz o tempo todo. Atinge os teus níveis de stress optimais.

E lembra-te. Esta é a tua vida e termina a cada minuto que passa. Vive com intensidade agora! Não estejas à espera de recompensas prometidas para mais tarde. Se feliz pelo que tens neste momento, e espalha esse sentimento.

Um excelente 2007. Que este seja um ano extraordinário.

The Church of the Non-Believers

A band of intellectual brothers is mounting a crusade against belief in God. Are they winning converts, or merely preaching to the choir?
