“Outlandish feelings
Outlandish worlds exist within us all,
Because there are stars that rise and then they fall,
Stars that belonged to a different world and now here in an alien world they are,
Alienated from their native skies to be cast into worlds astoundingly too far,
And in this outlandishness of rising feelings and many a belief,
The mind with the heart seeks familiar trails of relief,
But both lie mired in their unwillingness to accept forced retirement,
Because loving her thoughts, believing in her brings wavers of excitement,
That condition the mind to seek the heart that felt and knew her so well,
In this outlandish emotional landscape where fate launches its ominous spell,
To never let the mind find the heart that easily fell for her charms,
Trapping the mind in new emotional storms,
Where life is turned into this falling star,
That gets thrown into a world of alien sentiments and a new emotional spar,
Between the mind that seeks those known feelings and the heart that knew her so well,
And deals with the hostile world of emotions where nothing feels like her and nothing bears her smell,
And it is in these outlandish territories of life that few of us seek a domicile existence,
Even if that means indulging in pretense and experience a few artificial moments of romance,
Whatever the case maybe, the romantic mind always seeks the romantic heart,
In these unknown landscapes where the fakeness of the alien feelings every sense does so easily outsmart,
Until the mind learns to calm itself with the hope that fallen stars rise and shine again,
And it forms a covenant of survival with the diabolic and ruthlessly crude spells of pain.
And then life continues to wander in all directions seeking the heart that knew her,
Until one day it resembles the life that hangs on the devil’s spur!
But the aging mind is still rigid and unwilling to believe in the deceptive landscapes of this outlandish territory,
Because it remembers all the heart beats of love and still believes in their fraternity,
Finally one day the mind rises once again above the feelings of alienation,
Because few minds believe in endlessly seeking her sequestered feelings of love with a God like determination!”

“Outro problema que eles enfrentam. Como animais endêmicos de algumas regiões foram parar na arca? Cangurus da Austrália, pinguins do polo norte, e mesmo cobras do Brasil. Eles dizem, mas era tudo junto, apelando para a teoria das placas tectônicas. Dois problemas. A velocidade das placas não daria em 2.000 anos. Se fosse, quando voasse para Europa com 20 anos, e se fizesse o mesmo voo com 30 anos, seria evidente o tempo de voo, a diferença. O fato de uma espécie ser do Brasil não significa que seja igualmente distribuída em todo o território, muitas espécies são endêmicas. Somente no Brasil, uma viagem Minas Gerais Rio de Janeiro são 5-8 horas usando transporte moderno.”
