As nuvens que o digam

Quem será esse homem que parece reger - com segurança e delicadeza monumentais - o Teatro Municipal, a grande águia agora dourada, os céus, as cúpulas, os mundos, quiçá o próprio porvir?

Seria meio um Aladim de casaca, um passista das condições atmosféricas favoráveis ou um Gepeto disfarçado de estátua?

As nuvens que o digam, quem és tu, demiurgo! Oxalá possa ser muitos, pois que sinto muita firmeza em teus cuidados com o que está ao seu redor.

Common Keywords in Twitter Bios

The word cloud above shows a list of common words in bio Twitter users in June, 2009. I wonder how interesting it can be not only to count words but to try to capture their meaning. What are we telling about ourselves in this given moment of XXI´st century history? Sounds far more inspiring than what we may see on the newspaper´s headings. Which channel is closer to who we are?

"Let us leave theories there and return to here´s here. Now hear."

Anything should seem impossible to change

Nothing is impossible to change

Bertold Brecht

Distrust the more trivial, in appearance simple.

And examine, above all, what seems habitual.

We begged expressly:

don't accept what is of habit as a natural thing,

because in time of bloody disorder,

of organized confusion,

of conscious outrage,

of unmerciful humanity,

nothing should seem natural,

anything should seem impossible to change.
