NOVA PASSANTE


1. sobre
esta pele branca
um calígrafo oriental
teria gravado sua escrita
luminosa
— sem esquecer entanto
a boca: um
ícone em rubro
tornando mais fogo
suor e susto
tornando mais ácida e
insana a sede
(sede de dilúvio)

2. talvez
um poeta afogado num
danúbio imaginário dissesse
que seus olhos são duas
machadinhas de jade escavando o
constelário noturno:
a partir do que comporia
duzentas odes cromáticas
— mas eu que venero (mais que o ouro verde
raríssimo) o marfim em
alta-alvura de teu andar em
desmesura sobre uma passarela de
relâmpagos súbitos, sei que
tua pele pálida de papel
pede palavras
de luz

3. algum
mozárabe ou andaluz
decerto
       te dedicaria
um concerto
            para guitarras mouriscas
e cimitarras suicidas
(mas eu te dedico quando passas
no istmo de mim a isto
este tiroteio de silêncios
esta salva de arrepios)

ALGUNAS EXPRESIONES CON LOS VERBOS "SER" Y "ESTAR"

🎙️ Introducing “The Voice You Forgot You Had”
By Anatoly Glazkov – Identity Architect for High-Stakes Professionals

Most learners think their struggle is with English.
In reality, it’s with identity.

After years of study, many high-achieving women still feel a quiet dissatisfaction every time they speak — as if their English is fine, but they aren’t.
Their voice sounds smaller than who they really are.

This podcast is about that hidden moment — when confidence collapses not because of grammar, but because of who’s behind the words.

I’m Anatoly, an identity architect for high-stakes professionals.
Over 20,000 sessions taught me one truth:
you don’t need more English; you need to recalibrate the person who uses it.

Each short episode is a cinematic exploration of what happens when you step out of the English performance box and start speaking as your real self.
It’s not language training — it’s psychological tuning.

You’ll hear reflections, guided moments, and stories from people who learned to stop asking “How do I sound?” and start asking “Who is speaking?”

Episode 0 — “The Architect of the Voice”
The story behind my method, Identity Recalibration:
how I help professionals transform anxiety into presence and performance into authenticity.

Listen when you need to reconnect with the part of you that already knows how to speak.

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

今日はサウナについて話そうと思います。
みなさんはサウナに行きますか？

ぼくは今までほとんど行ったことがなかったんです。
ですが、最近行ってとても良かったのでその話をしようと思います。



サウナはフィンランドが発祥とされるようです。
石を積み上げたストーブを高温に加熱して、そこに水をかけて蒸気を発生させます。

室内温度は60〜90℃ぐらいです。

サウナに数分入った後、外に出て水風呂に入ったり、外の空気にふれた後、またサウナに入る、ということを繰り返します。これによって、体の中はアドレナリンがたくさん出ている興奮状態と体の外は外気温に触れてリラックスするという特別な状態が生まれます。

これが、最近の日本では"ととのう"という状態だそうです。Wikipedia情報ですが、間違ってたらすみません。

サウナに行っている人はそのとても気持ちいい状態があることは知っていると思います。

日常では味わうことのない、脱力感というか、開放感というか、そんな不思議な感覚です。

個人的には乾燥肌でアトピー性皮膚炎もあるので、発汗、汗をかくことはとても大切なんですね。ですので、僕にとっては健康でいるための良い方法だと思います。

体も気持ちもリフレッシュできるサウナ、もし行ったことがない人はぜひ行ってみてください！めっちゃ気持ちいいですよ！

ということで、今回は以上です。
最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！
