what people are saying

A friend of mine sent me an email with a link to this video on the NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day website.It made me feel a myriad of different things. And in the end, as suggested in the NASA comment, I had a smile in my lips. I could not help feeling a little jealous of all the traveling, feeling moved by the fact that people are dancing even in places where the political and socioeconomic situation is not one that would give me an urge to dance, and feeling amazed by the whole idea of someone making a movie with dorky dancing around the world.At some point in the beginning of the video, I was wondering why it was posted in NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day website, which traditionally displays pictures of outer space, or taken from outer space. This was after all a very earthly video, filmed on earth and with little technology (apart from the movie-making gear). However, as the film advanced, I started to get a feeling I recurrently have when I look at space pictures, or pictures taken from space: I started to feel small, even insignificant. This due to the beauty and grandeur of some places, or the sheer simplicity of others, and mostly to the diversity of the human species.In seldom occasions throughout my days, I wonder whether I would be happier just packing a couple of stuff and parting on a no destination / no commitment / no money trip to nowhere in particular, only to discover the most I could and experience all, in all possible ways.Sentir tudo de todas as maneiras, -- To feel everything in every possible way,Viver tudo de todos os lados, -- To live everything from every angle,Ser a mesma coisa de todos os modos possíveis ao mesmo tempo, -- To be the same thing in all possible ways at the same time,Realizar em si toda a humanidade de todos os momentos -- To realize in oneself all the humanity of all momentsNum só momento difuso, profuso, completo e longínquo. -- In one single diffuse, profuse, complete and faraway moment.in Passagem das Horas, by Álvaro de Campos
