Saudade
The word saudade is Portuguese. It means “longing”. It could be a life-shaking longing. Imagine the Portuguese sailors, centuries ago, crossing unknown oceans and getting to Africa, to India, to Brazil. They had no guarantee of any safe return. They could be crushed by saudade. Their wives, children, girlfriends, families as well.
I have made some pictures about saudade. I have also called them “Being Together”. Yes, saudade is about being together, even when separated by huge distances.
