Turning Quotes Into Masterpieces
I woke up this Thursday Morning with a big surprise. I just saw someone posting a quote of mine via twitter, and that gave me such a pleasure I had tears in my eyes when I saw it:
Then I found out that there are lots of people who keep sharing my quotes. And they even make it better by sharing their own way of saying the same thing. For example, my saying
A portrait of me through my quote, Inspired by the words that I wrote:
It fills my heart with joy when I look at what people make of quotes from my books, they do some creative stuff with my own words, and through my thoughts. I'm glad that I can share that with you. Here I share some quotes of mine that people already displayed with some inspiring images.
Thanks @hermankasper for quoting my #ThursdayThoughts! #ThursdayGoals are about searching for the best places, which is always from inside! https://t.co/PJWZQZjXsx

"Life keeps throwing the stones. And I keep finding the diamonds."
And Many Thanks @hilltreasures for quoting me in such endearing way. See, life keeps throwing some precious stones. AND I FIND THEM WELL! :) https://t.co/PdOJrTf1jF

#Klimt #TheKiss #ART #quote #TrueLove I love to be quoted like this. It's such a pleasure to see art within the art. All imaginative souls creating together the divine within us! I also create pictures of my own thoughts, and I wrote a book of poetry with images that I call Photos of Thoughts:True love is like little roses, sweet, fragrant in small doses.” ― Ana Claudia Antunes #love #Quotestoliveby #quote pic.twitter.com/qRS5d5udqD

Literacy For Peace
Today's the International Literacy Day. And the main theme for this year is "Literacy for Peace". What does it mean? When we have better education, when we can read books and start to build opinions and discern between things we may allow ourselves for a better undestanding of our own acts and atittudes towards many things, especially concerning cultures, families, tensions between countries, between siblings, their problems and solutions. That's why Literacy for PEACE is hope for all around the world. Which book now that I'm glad I'm able to read and write? The book I just recently released on Amazon: "Out of the Blue" yes, literally speaking, for it was out of the blue that I wrote it, and it was all thanks for the first words I learned, of course, in my mother tongue, Portuguese.
I remember the first words I learned in English, my first Workbook when I was around seven in the American School I studied. The colour YELLOW, I love that word, and it was the first thing I remember I had to draw, then, the RED, the words pencil came later. Maybe that's when I decided to be an artist and author, I loved colouring that book, which I still keep after all those years.
Last year I had the pleasure to have donated more than a hundred books of mine (in various languages) to the local library at my birthplace city of Santos in Brazil. But the greatest pleasure of all for me it would be knowing that my books may serve to a lot of people, that many may read from them and learn the interesting things that my books provide too. For I have selected them with much care and throughtout my many travelings and it would be such a pity if they were kept in the shelves and never been picked up if no one can read. That's why I keep teaching people to read and learn at least the languages I know and I still have in mind to teach from my own books as well. Hopefully one day I may reach thousands if not millions of hearts all around the world. That keep being my dream and of utmost importance for me to accomplish.
Happy you may read me. Thanks!
Last year I was invited by the Blog Action Day to write about a very serious issue, water, and the consequences we will have to pay for it if or when there will be no more clean resources on Earth. That's when the story came "Out Of The Blue". I usually don't write in this genre (Sci-Fi) but when I do the pictures come into my mind so clearly as if it is a movie I am seeing, though I rarely know the end. It's an enigma for me. I always think I've got the story straight, that I have it all planned inside my head when, all of a sudden and out of the blue", here it comes an u-turn to change all the concepts and beliefs I had before.
It's a big mystery and surprise for me, really, how things turn out to be in the end, it's not I the author who is writing the story but it's the story that reveals itself for me. They say that Science Fiction is a good way to show the perspective of a reality that could pretty much come to fruition and it adverts or inverts us about things that can eventually happen. And that's so true. What would be of the world if not for the Sci-Fi authors, and I mean since the crazy adventures of Jules Vernes under the sea or out in the space, or even in the Amazon jungle, or the amazing discoveries of Mary Shelley's Doctor Frankenstein. Scientists do prove what the friction between reality and fiction comes from a thin fine line and some had already revealed them to be true.
A mixture of drama and comedy but that surprises by the honest approach. It makes you laugh and cry all at the same time, and how much I love to get that reaction from my fictions. What's your reaction when you read me? Do you keep quiet, in introspection or are you eager to say a word or two? And if so, why you restrain from saying those words? Why keeping quiet and shut and not shout out loud? The main reason may be that Peace come from a place within and the words are simply a gate between two worlds, a meaning which through we may pass knowledge and understanding, leading to a more Universal compassion and Truth.
HAPPY LITERACY DAY!
