Good Wine

Walmor Chagas

Hi, guys! This week the theme is WRINKLES in Take a Word. When I saw this theme it came to my mind Brazilian actor and director Walmor Chagas, who (probably) took his own life this week at age 82. He was a very beautiful talented artist who had been living alone on a farm the last 20 years. I wonder if aging is harder for these people who earn their living in front of the limelight.

“Wisdom doesn't automatically come with old age. Nothing does - except wrinkles. It's true, some wines improve with age. But only if the grapes were good in the first place.” ― Abigail Van Buren

Oi, pessoal! Esta semana o tema é RUGAS no Take a Word. Quando vi esse tema veio à minha mente o querido Walmor Chagas. Eu me pergunto se o envelhecimento é mais difícil para essas pessoas que ganham a vida na frente dos holofotes.
