By Paulo Coelho

We go out into the world in search of our dreams and ideals.
Often we store away in some inaccessible place what is already there within reach of our hands.
(Maktub)

Yes..we do,
but…we wouldn’t be free if… we couldn’t stretch our wings and fly up high, touch the sky, reach the stars, taste the sweetness and the bitterness of life, see all the colors and shades of the world…
Our heart…our soul… would die…
we wouldn’t see what’s near…
we wouldn't be able to notice…
what we have close by…
we…
wouldn't be happy..

Sometimes we have to go very far to see what's near.

All we ever need to know, all the truth that we continue to seek is already within us.

In search of a certain waterfall on the Camino Francès I will be off to in April. Can you give me a hint as to where it will be within reach of my hands?

That was the conclusion of my shower tonight.
Ofently I sing, until I could stop the thoughts. Today, I had the image of a friend, and I was telling her, that we have all “within reach of our hands”.

It seems our thoughts or prayers could embrace the Universe, in the same time they develop their answers, very close to our place.

Great is that we could sometimes go through the world for a person, a seashore, a word, a bird on a tree, an embrace.
As sometimes, our soul need to move forward, far from home; some remembrance to regain. Some new places and faces to discover.

Now, conceding the mere existence of the Vision is in, thus out, of ourselves, all “is already there within reach of our hands”, in any place we are. It be in ourself. That’s the invisible Magic. Always there, answering. Manifesting Its perfection; in and out. As a Breathe.

Where we think something is missing, there’s a lack of Faith. In reality, nothing is missing. Presently, I’m sure in my heart. (Reminds me about “The missing stones”. :)

The time we are loving, or on the contrary the time we are harming. Also the time we are eating, having fun, or philosophizing. All of that, we’re doing firstly for ourself. Thereby is the Gift we render to the Universe.

Have all sweet dreams.

Perhaps, but even a life long search for something obvious, will have meaning.
