An anthology of Luso heritage articles, THOUGHTS FROM A VARANDA (BALCONY) is a Portuguese Heritage Chapbook by Luso-Canadian author, Devin Meireles.

Portugal is still our home.

It always was. That long distance relationship was something that our ancestors maintained, and in turn, we did too. Our broken comprehension of the language was no barrier to the infinite love that our families had for us, nor that affection that the country showed us. There was always an adoration regardless of how we communicated with each other. We are Portuguese at heart.

The fullness of time falls back on the history that preceded us, that's why it's essential to know our heritage. Recognizing this inheritance, we can draw out pieces of ourselves that are worth keeping to shape what the future looks like.

When you consider that there are as many Luso-identifying people outside the political borders as there are within it, the nation is as it ever was. Portugal is composed of colonies scattered abroad. The influence around the world is undeniable. Some aspects of the heritage are unremitting and it's just as easy to go back.

We are all Portugal, as long as we want to be.Praise for the Author

Devin's contribution to the Portuguese Canadian diaspora dialogue is to be applauded. It warms my heart to know that the history of Portuguese immigrants to Canada continues to be written and that the stories of individual families become part of the collective narrative of the luso experience. - Emanuel Melo, thetorzorean.com

I hope you guys enjoy Devin's work. I have no doubt his new book will be a success. Enjoy! - Jeff de Gouveia, Hit The Road Madeira Tour Operator
