I have some friends involved with metaphysics, they used to say nothing exists. But I touched a table and it was hard, one coul not ignore it. Once a very special person friend of mine told me. It means that nothin tha we can see and touch exits unless first was thought by a human mind. Then that human thought about it. And then talk, or describe the object with words. Little by little that idea becames real. It happens to me in many ocasions and it is absolutely true. adityan, a long time ago you commented the Secret, it was just today 31/8/09 that I read it.

It really looks majestic, and I feel that this is also due to its simplicity. In a way it is "just water", and still you can see something different each moment. Even rainbows when sunlight and perspective are right! I like Denise's words describing it as "the most beautiful monument to Love yet conceived by any artist". However the monuments created by Mother Nature herself will always remain unsurpassed - no matter how large or small, yet forever intertwined with everything else. Which includes us human beings and our creations, for better or worse. Thank you for your inspiring words! :-) Hi Paulo,

Just wanted you to know that someone in Colorado, USA ... loves, loves, loves you! You have given me what others can't. Your wisdom into this world, it's mysteries as well as practicalities, has given me strength and endurance to go on to help many others when few can help me. It is an honor to help another attain a miracle and I wouldn't trade it for the world, but it is lonely. I am certain you know what I mean. I send you the warmest loving hug as well as gratitude for all of your hard work and soul searching you have done and the discipline it took to get it all down on paper so that I may be a part of it. You are so close to me in my soul as it feels to me that our eyes and hearts are on the same path. I have read all your works and can't wait for another. I will do my part to expand my love even greater, so that maybe you can hear even easier for your next. Thank you for everything. Forever, Jo Anne Hi Paulo!

Water is also considered one of the five basis elements that make up a human being in the hindu philosophy, so in that sense too, the fountain can be considered a symbol of something that is sacred and capable of giving birth to life.. talking about statues, I was once given an impromptu elocution topic: 'Why there are statues of only politicians'.. though i had made up my mind to seak about two unique example which defied the topic, I forgot about those the very moment i began to speak.. here's a chance to repeat those two: 1) a statue made in the memory of a young village lad, probably a shepherd who gave up his life saving the Maharaja of Vadodara state from a wild beast in Gujarat, India. It still stands in the SayajiRao park and I had remember gaping at the sharp features of the boy with reverence as I was about the same time I visited the park and saw him standing there in the middle of the garden, as if waiting for us to go and talk to him... 2)The other, the statue of the 'Common Man' standing in the Symbiosis Institute in Pune, India. the Indian cartoonist R.K Laxman immortalised the commmon man in his caricatures which depict the political and social chaos he takes in his stride daily. The statue at Symbiosis seems to be paying a tribute to the common man, me and others like me, and so I love this statue...

i dream of dens,
i dream of monuments.
in the hours
which take flights
across continents
and five oceans
i dream of flowers
and gardens.
in between cities-
towns i dream of home.

home where i live
home where i love,
home where i will.
home where i breath,
home where i still
can be able to dream-
of those cities
and beautiful greens.

We have statues of a man called john laird, he created, most possibly one of the most successful ship factories ever made, and with liverpool being on the coast, that was his base. My grandparents and my parents worked for lairds and even though it is now shut down, the one building that dominates the skyline of my home town if the massive ship yard were my family had worked on merchant ships, battle ships and even nuclear submarines, it is a monument to the achievments of a great man.
