Beautifully written, as always :)

The Portuguese language over the centuries has sunk into the shores of many countries - Brazil as you mentioned, but also Mozambique, Angola, Cape Verde, Guiné Bissau, São Tomé and Príncipe, Timor-leste, Macau/China at one stage. Today many of the countries are part of the PALOP community due the "language", the golden tread of the Pisces (Portugal being a Piscean country).

Feeling that feeling of longing. It’s always there softly turning & churning in the background of our lives. It’s so nice to touch it and be present with it without question.

Thankyou Adam and the Queen of Heaven. ♥️

This one is a beauty Adam! I hadn't thought about the difference in watching evening star Venus vs. morning star, but that's so true about the quiet patient longing it inspires. I know that feeling and love it that they have a word and music that matches it so well.

Indeed. It's a hard one to study looking back, but while in it, it's clear at times. And agree. Far reaching language like that is the best

A beautifully woven piece. Reflections on this orchid, expressions of saudade and the richer meaning of theses planetary energies will be with me today. Thank you for bringing this and so many into this shared sphere.
