"Dear, don't think that a person has so much strength to lead some kind of life and continue to be the same. Even cutting out one's own flaws can be dangerous, you never know which one is the flaw that holds up our entire edifice. I don't know how to explain my soul to you. But what I would like to say is that people are very precious, and that only up to a certain point can they renounce themselves and give themselves over to others and to circumstances. After a person has lost respect for himself itself and towards its own needs - remains a kind of rag. I would have loved to be close to you and tell my experiences and that of others. You would have seen that there are certain moments in which the first duty to be fulfilled is in relation to oneself (. ..) Almost four years have transformed me. From the moment I resigned myself, I lost all liveliness and all interest in things. Have you ever seen how a castrated bull turns into an ox? The same can be said of me. To adapt to the unadaptable, I had to cut my chains. And with this I also cut my strength. I hope you never see me so resigned, because it's almost repulsive. I hope, just at the thought of seeing you and getting back to my life a little - which wasn't wonderful but it was a life - that I am completely transformed. A friend asked me one day: "You were very different, weren't you?". She found me ardent and vibrant, and when she met me she said to herself: either this excessive calm is an attitude or she has changed so much as to appear almost unrecognizable. But I couldn't help but want to show you what can happen to a person who has come to terms with everyone, and who has forgotten that the vital core of a person must be respected. Listen: also respect what is bad in you — don't want to make yourself a perfect person — don't copy any ideal person, copy yourself — that's the only way to live (...) Take that for yourself that belongs to you, and what belongs to you is all that your life demands. It seems like an amoral life. But what is truly immoral is having given up on oneself. I hope to God you believe me."

Before dying you live, Lóri. It’s a natural thing to die, to be transformed, to be transmuted. Nothing beyond dying has ever been invented.

Felicidad Clandestina

Este cuento de Clarice Lispector (Escritora de Brazil) me parecio muy interesante debido a que con las niñas representa las situaciones que podemos vivir o ver en nuestra realidad, por que tienen casi nuestra misma edad y los mismos comportamientos, por ejemplo la una niña es malvada y tiene odio hacia las otras niñas, en cambio sus otras amigas en mi punto de vista son un poco envidiosas por no tener un papa dueño de una libreria. En conclucion Clarice Lespector crea cuentos para niños y adolescentes como Felicidad Clandestina que en mi opinion es muy buena por la representacion de las personalidades de los niños y de la felicidad.

This is the most harrowing and exquisite truth the world has to offer.

All human beings experience annunciation. With pregnant souls we raise our hands to our throats with surprise and anguish. As if each of us had learned at a given moment in life that we have a mission to fulfil.

That mission is by no means easy: each of us is responsible for the entire world.

Clarice Lespector, “Annunciation,” Selected Crônica, translated by Giovanni Pontiero, A New Directions Paperback, 1996

A Breath of Life (pulsations) by Clarice Lespector• Literature is a form of meditation, for some of us a form of soulful therapy. Reading fragments of great novels and essays injects my vocabulary with new concepts, to ponder upon, expanding senses to contemplate, in order to understand experience better. It helps to acquire a language and consciousness to grasp and enter the 'bloom spaces' -a concept or zone brought forward by Gregg and Seigworth (2010)- of where affects flow. Great writers are like wise friends, they help articulate inner processes, and being with them feels like sitting in a circle, around a campfire, and talking about those things that matter most. Clarice Lespector, is one mysterious voice capturing the pulse, sound and movement, of life as it flows in all its complexities, madness, pain, brutality and beauty. Lespector is one of those secret gems. This is her last novel, she didn't live to see published, it was her dear friend that compiled all the fragments into a whole. You have to read it slowely, chew on it, it feels like jumping naked into a river, and letting the stream take you away, or as she said: "I want to write pure movement" #claricelispector #abreathoflife #nadiaandedeatbooks #nadialovescoffee #studyingaffect http://ift.tt/2jIrRHc

I want the following word: splendor, splendor is fruit in all its succulence, fruit without sadness. I want vast distances. My savage intuition of myself.
