PERSONAL PROJECTS: POSTCARDS FROM AMAZONIA

- Peru, Columbia, Brazil -

A river so big breeds thoughts just as big.

A voyage to South America’s Amazon River slowly turned into a journey to rediscover

my own self.

Free As A Bird,It's the next best thing to be Free as a bird.HomeHome and dryLike a homing bird I fly, As a bird on wing...
   
Where the vast cloudless sky was broken by one crow I sat upon a hill - all alone - long ago; But I never felt so lonely and so out of God's way, As here, where I brush elbows with a thousand every day.
   
My eyes are an ocean in which my dreams are reflected.
     
  
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.
   
Speak, speak, for underneath the cover thereThe sand is running from the upper glass,And when the last grain's through, I shall be lost.
   
Come away, O human child: To the waters and the wild with a fairy, hand in hand, For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.
     
  
Solitude: a sweet absence of looks.
   
Oh if my baby should quit meLord i do believe i would dieYes if you don't love me little angelPlease tell me the reason why
   
With the 2006 World Cup in soccer only a few days away, these pictures are my memory.
