19 | 2 | 09 - Couple days before Carnaval

Losing lots of hair helped me appear more like a Brazilian.  That transition was remarkable and an eye opening experience.  Yet it wasn’t until I went to Samba that I gained sensation beyond anything I’ve felt before.  The beat of the Samba drum now compliments the beat of my heart.  My blood now flows with a new sense of passion.  My new caffeine.  Nothing has made me feel so alive.  There was a sense of unity that was new to me, the way hundreds of us were dancing down the street in unison.  The best part is we were practicing for a parade festival during Carnaval. A parade Fabiano got me into, we were going to Samba right through Sapucaí!  In a couple days I’m going to get to wear the most extravagant costume I’ve ever worn and express myself in a new form doing the Samba through Rio with hundreds of others.  Just imagine.  I’ll probably spend most of my time here finding out about new things that will bring my mind, body and soul more clarity, for that I feel truly blessed.  My point is hearing the Samba drums and dancing to the beat has put a new feeling inside of me.  A new feeling that was instantly declared life changing.

  1. It is endearing for me to hear and imagine that your life's journey thus far has opened up for you new pathways that generate, motivate and cultivate your personal growth, and subsequently leading to new and welcomed fulfillment. Passion is the essence of a driven life.
    Maintain bro, Ricky.
