Really, random walks on life. Other people, other places, and even materialistic stuff that crosses my path.
Curiously I shall start with a non-materialistic post. I hope that the author doesn't mind. I couldn't find her address but this one is from "Nubbie and the Nuts", who posted in an MIT list where they announce job openings and interesting events. Enough of that already. The text is this:
"I recently learned this great new word: saudade. It's a Portuguese word that doesn't really exist in any other language. It's an expression of fond remembrance of something: a lost lover, a time in one's life, a certain set of feelings, coupled with a sad longing for the thing's return, a hope, albeit slim, that you will be reunited sometime in the future and the bittersweet joy that comes with the recognition and acceptance of fate and life's uncertainty... All that sentiment in one word--how cool is that?"
Yes... How cool is that? :-)
