Past and
Present
My
name is José Luis, but in my homeland Brazil, like any other Portuguese
speaking country, Zé is short for José. So, I go by “Zé
Luis.”
I am an artist who appreciates good food, good living, good health and good music. By the way, I am a composer, saxophone and flute player born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
When I was born, my great-grandfather was a very important and famous writer in my homeland, Mr. Alvaro Moreyra. He welcome me to the world by writing the following:
José Luis
Just a few days have gone by since you came to this world and you are a happy man. Everyone that knows you wishes you well. You arrived just before Christmas, and the New Year will surge absolutely new to you. I am the eldest of your tribe.
Later on they will tell you my name in the scale of your ancestors: “the great-grandfather.” I am your great-grandfather, Josˇ Luis.
As of now I wish you, as intensively as I will for the years of 2,000 and so forth of the Grace of Our Lord. More, much more I have saved to offer you.
In words, with reality, I wish that the earth of the life you are going to live on to be always beautiful, good, serene, and friendly. I wish that you never need to forgive. That you never need to forget. That you can smile to everything thankfully and pleasantly, and I also wish that you can look to the landscapes, to the things, to the creatures, with eyes without fatigue or sadness.
I wish that the fortunate man of today goes on like that till the end, seeing around him, love, sweetness, and enchantment.. I wish that the boy grows in to a man , but I also wish that your soul stays exactly as in the instant of awakening at the age of surprise, not known, of having returned.
The sky, then, will have other stars. Perhaps you will also be one, among the so many stars that will shine and glow up there. Here I come, to bring you with the heart that I have used so much and did not wear out, my hope and my tenderness. Have a good journey, Josˇ Luis!
