The Infinite Shades of Saudade Blue
<p>It’s difficult to think of Portugal, and not think of “saudade”.</p>
<p>It’s one of those non-translate-able words. A word that captures the essence of a place. Its core feeling.</p>
<p>To know the word is to experience it for yourself.</p>
<p>Loosely described, in case this is your first time hearing the word, saudade is a melancholic feeling of longing or nostalgia.</p>
<p>Like a warm afternoon in soft light. Like thinking of someone you love. While its melancholic in nature, there is something profoundly beautiful in its center. Like a romantic divinity to the sorrow of it all.</p>
