O mundo dos livros...

Ontem foi Dia Mundial do Livro e eu não falei disso. Não falei porque li! E essa é a melhor maneira de homenagear esse dia. Tinha saudades de ler um livro num dia. As 117 páginas voaram. O livro Cartas a Deus. Não é um qualquer livro místico ou de auto-ajuda. As Publicações Pena Perfeita convidaram inúmeras personalidades (desde Fernando Nobre a Carlos Vaz Marques, passando por Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, Rui Zink, Clara Pinto Correia, Pedro Mexia, entre outros) a escrever uma carta a Deus. Várias perspectivas, vários tons, várias finalidades. Achei um desafio fantástico. De tal forma que um dia destes escreverei aqui uma carta desse tipo...

Lembrei-me desta música ao ler o livro...



One of us
Joan Osbourne

If God had a name, what would it be
And would you call it to his face
If you were faced with him in all his glory
What would you ask if you had just one question

And yeah yeah God is great yeah yeah God is good
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

What if God was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home

If God had a face what would it look like
And would you want to see
If seeing meant that you would have to believe
In things like heaven and in jesus and the saints and all the prophets

And yeah yeah god is great yeah yeah god is good
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

What if God was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home
He's trying to make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody calling on the phone
Except for the pope maybe in rome

And yeah yeah God is great yeah yeah God is good
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

What if god was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home
Just trying to make his way home
Like a holy rolling stone
Back up to heaven all alone
Just trying to make his way home
Nobody calling on the phone
Except for the pope maybe in rome

Assim vai o mundo...
