Ouço, vezes sem conta. Melodias às quais me afeiçoo dia após dia, numa destreza que desconhecia em mim. O ritmo acomoda-se na alma, a voz sussurra entre a agitação quotidiana. Quer seja no embaraço citadino, quer seja numa caminhada matinal à beira rio, nesse verde Minho que me viu partir e voltar, levo-a comigo. Ouço-a vezes sem conta. Porque tenho em mim todos os sonhos de menina e de mulher. E tudo o que preciso é da força desta diva para realizá-los com determinação. Ser sublime no viver e no sentir.
