About me:
"I’m keeper of a sheep.
The sheep are my thoughts
And my thoughts are all sensations.
I think with my eyes and ears
And with my hands and feet
And my nose and mouth.
To think a flower is to see and smell it
And to eat a fruit is to taste it’s meaning.
That’s why on a hot day
When I ache from enjoying it so much,
And stretch out on the grass,
Closing my warm eyes,
I feel my whole body lying full length in reality,
I know the truth and I’m happy."
from Fernando Pessoa Poems (portuguese poet)
