Safada is a Brazilian saying which refers to a woman who has no shame to be herself, who’s a little naughty, transgressive and who indulges in pleasure and sensuality. In Brazil, this term usually doesn’t have negative or judgmental connotations.

I recently read a tale from Nasrudin - a folk hero of medieval origin who illustrate the teaching of the Sufis - which inspired reflection on the importance of not clinging to what we’ve created when it no longer corresponds to us.
