I am a shepherd of flocks, which are thoughts,<\/span>
\nThemselves sensations. I think with sights<\/span><\/p>\n

And sounds, hands and feet, nose, palate.<\/span>
\n Thinking of a flower is to see and smell it.<\/span><\/p>\n

To eat a piece of fruit is to learn its meaning.<\/span>
\n Which is why, sweltering in the heat of midday,<\/span><\/p>\n

So fully tasting fleeting things makes me sad.<\/span>
\n I stretch out tired on the grass, shut<\/span><\/p>\n

My burning eyes, my body weighing down on<\/span>
\nWhat is there. I know some truth. I\u2019m happy.<\/span><\/p>\n

After Alberto Caeiro (Fernando Pessoa)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Sou um guardador de rebanhos.<\/em><\/span>
\n O rebanho \u00e9 os meus pensamentos<\/em><\/span>
\n E os meus pensamentos s\u00e3o todos sensa\u00e7\u00f5es.<\/em><\/span>
\n Penso com os olhos e com os ouvidos<\/em><\/span>
\n E com as m\u00e3os e os p\u00e9s<\/em><\/span>
\n E com o nariz e a boca.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Pensar numa flor \u00e9 v\u00ea-la e cheir\u00e1-la<\/em><\/span>
\n E comer um fruto \u00e9 saber-lhe o sentido.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Por isso quando num dia de calor<\/em><\/span>
\n Me sinto triste de goz\u00e1-lo tanto,<\/em><\/span>
\n E me deito ao comprido na erva,<\/em><\/span>
\n E fecho os olhos quentes,<\/em><\/span>
\n Sinto todo o meu corpo deitado na realidade,<\/em><\/span>
\n Sei da verdade e sou feliz.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
