Le Coq Sportif





Le coq loves the Olympics



The Olympic Games started and I am already mesmerized by so many events in and outside the television set. Imagine joining the whole world together to celebrate a happy time and right then make a war. It sounds totally surreal that in time where all nations are battling the good fight (sports in general are supposed to make you feel good even if you loose it) you gain the knowledge that there is a war inside a country. My condolence rises and goes to all the Georgians, all the widows, sons and daughters who just became orphans, and the numbers increasing of people suffering in the world augmenting each and every day. Sometimes my heart just wants to explode with all that, but I know I would be of any service to all if I keep sadness in my heart. So I just leave a prayer in the air, hoping it will float on other people's heart and give relief to the ones who suffer most.

Besides taking a look or two on the games, I've been busy working on my audiobooks, arranging some new tunes, composing music and songs along with my tales for kids. It's been fun! Hope I will soon share that here to you and make a heart or two happy too.

Don't keep walking in your life with sadness in your heart.
Live each day with happiness and make it a brand new start.

Nao atravesse a vida carregando tristeza em seu coracao.
Viva cada dia com alegria e faca disso uma linda cancao.

Cat on the Roof: A Story with Collage of Torn Paper (Chigiri-e)

"The Cat on the Roof"(Chigiri-e with lyrics by Ana Antunes)

There was a cat in the roof
and he looked so very aloof.
The cat saw a fish in the pool
and played with it like a fool.
The cat ate the fish with a smile
and took a small rest for a while.
The cat saw little mouse
who ran inside the house.
He caught a fly, and another one,
maybe he wouldn't eat none alone.
He so looked for the rat to catch
then he still had a meal to match.
