It's not a race at all

"Look at us: running around, always rushed, always late. I guess that's why they call it human race. What we crave most in this world is connection. For some people it happens at first sight. That's when you know, you know. It's fate working its magic. And that's great for them. They get to live in a pop song. Ride the express train. But that not the way it really works. For the rest of us it's a bit less romantic. It's complicated and it's messy. It's about horrible timing and fumbled opportunities and not being able to say what you need to say when you need to say it.

Look at us: running around, always rushed, always late. I guess that's why they call it human race. But some times, it slows down just enough for all the pieces to fall into place. Fate works its magic and you're connected. Every once and awhile, among all the randomness, something unexpected happens and it pushes us all forward. And the truth is, what I'm starting to think, what I'm starting to feel is that maybe the human race isn't a race at all."

Tudo quer me revelar

Tudo aqui quer me revelar
Minha letra, minha roupa
Meu paladar
O que eu não digo, o que eu afirmo
Onde eu gosto de ficar
Quando amanheço, quando me esqueço
Quando morro de medo do mar

Tudo aqui
Quer me revelar
Unhas roídas
Ausências, visitas
Cores na sala de estar
O que eu procuro
O que eu rejeito
O que eu nunca vou recusar

Tudo em mim
Quer me revelar
Tudo em mim quer me revelar
Meu grito, meu beijo
Meu jeito de ser

O que me preocupa, o que me ajuda
O que eu escolho pra amar
Quando amanheço, quando me esqueço
Quando morro de medo do mar
(Zélia Duncan)

E faz muito sentido.
