In Brida, a book that I wrote back in 1990, there are two ways to recognize your soulmate. Through Magic - meaning : entering a state of transe in which you can see a bright spot over the shoulder of your soulmate - or, by taking risks, by making mistakes, by being with the wrong people until you find your soul mate.
So here is my question: Would you try to find your soul mate through magic or by taking risks, making mistakes?
By magic, of course. Yet, to recognize the magic, you may need to go through the mistakes and hard experiences, until you learn to see your own beauty and the beauty of others.

Whole life is magical, if you see it. I think that both ways are exating and magical. Searhing or meeting him/her in the yang age. If it is true mate, it doesn’t bound you. It’s just as magical and wonderful as Paulo’s books. I just have to bee ready to something and all will come to me. Life is a jurney, not a goal. It’s about learning and it’s wonderfull.
Would I be able to enjoy my solemate so much if I would meet him easily? I don’t know. I believe that what ever happens, it is originaly my choise and all goes as it suppose to be.
I cind of would want to meet my soulmate and I have been waited him so long, but when I stop and look inside of me I can see that in deep lives a fiar of finding him. I’m not sure why. I would want to find — I think. I have to do some more work with it. I have some though of it, but I’m not sure yet.
But can one person be it? I am sure that I need more people that just one. And they all together can give that much of love as I need and I can give it back. I think that I have several solemates, friends and also exes. My one soulmate is higher me - and I work that relationship :) and I think that maybe when that is ready I can see who is my solemate (like in lifepartner meaning). If I would be with him now, before I haven’t that love relationship with me and I can hear clerly me, I wouldn’t see it. When I am not loving me, I can’t love someone else that way - I see my mistaces in him like in a mirrow. But I need a mirrow to build me first…
:) Confusing enough?

I wish i can do by magic. But learning magic also need to go through the same passage of Hard work, mistakes, learning, mistakes and……and i fear if learning magic may take longer time.
[Reply]
I would definitely choose magic, i want to learn magic, i would love to learn how to see that bright spot on the shoulder of my soul mate. i would love to meet my soul mate, i would take all risks. i dont care if once i learn to see it ill get dissapointed with those who arent my soul mates. i would be happy still. what im trying to say is, if im with someone who i know for sure is not my soul mate, i can still be happy with them.BUT I would be much happier with my true soul mate.

PAULO! omg pualo coehlo are you really the author of this blog!

Querido Paulo, qué pregunta tan interesante..
La verdad es que hasta hoy en día, ni siquiera creía a otros niveles en las Almas Gemelas, no pensé en que sí podía existir, me parecía mágico pero que seguro en este mundo “terrenal” sería algo irreal.
Entonces, en relación a tu pregunta, yo he sido en mi vida “ciega” a esta existencia, y por ello he ido cometiendo “errores” y conociendo a personas “equivocadas”, aunque también han sido aprendizajes, pues todo nos aporta algo para que evolucionemos y veamos la diferencia con el corazón de qué es cada cosa.
Hoy, ahora, sintiendo más allá, me conecto con mi corazón y sinceramente, ya no siento seguir cometiendo errores y conociendo personas. Prefiero, siento, que seguiré la “magia” más allá hasta si un día nos encontramos en el camino… claro que también puede ser que en esta vida no nos toque encontrarnos…
Me inclino por la magia del reencuentro-descubrimiento en base a las señales, sueños y cosas que me han pasado. Confío y tengo fe, aunque esta forma de esperar para encontrarla es un tanto difícil pero no imposible.
El Universo tiene un camino trazado para mi desde que regresé aquí, espero a partir de ahora seguiré más y mejor a mi corazón para que se den las cosas de forma correcta y propicia.
Muchas gracias Paulo por tu pregunta, interesante así como tus libros.
Un abrazo con cariño
[Reply]
gosh! its hard to decide Paul haven’t done both yet! m scared to death to even think of making mistakes and i have no good reasons to why i should do magic to find my soul mate! so i’m undecided to which to choose????????
[Reply]
i wish i was a magician. Alas i am not.
So i do wht mortals do best- mistakes until i get it right.
sigh.. but i do wonder how many mistakes MORE?
[Reply]
In Magic there is always risk, and in risk there is always some degree of magic… therefore the two go hand in hand. It would be difficult to say which of the two I would choose for this reason. The soulmate I have found in this lifetime came to me by magic, and it took a few risks for us to be together….
[Reply]
Dear Paulo,
I have always believed in magic. That’s what the word M stands for, pure and beautiful magic and I also know that whenever I feel its presence, it leads me to the righteous path. I’ve felt this force when I met a man. When I saw the glow around him, I could die because I was the hero, the single poem, the rose that kept the beast alive, I was all of my life and I knew he was my soul mate but I also knew what kind of risk I will soon take by falling completely and utterly in love with him. I’ve done so with my whole heart and I’ve felt pain and bliss. It’s one magical feeling. So I suppose I would have to say both to your question.
[Reply]
making mistakes, helps ya learn how to love, how one works, and what you like and dont about people. its the magickal when you find that person, and magic can help you draw the people you want in yer life, but theres nopoint if you dont know who you truly are. the uninitiated dont go very far in life.
[Reply]
creo que es parte de la propia vida cometer errores y correr riesgos, todo tiene un sentido y una finalidad. mi camino está lleno de señales, y mi alma gemela también es capaz de percibirlas. tengo un alma gemela en esta vida, y creo que puedo llegar a tener la gran bendición de tener algunas más. mi alma gemela entiende lo mágico.
ella SABE. a través de reflexiones y encuentros de nuestras almas llegamos a descubrir grandes cosas que sólo algunos saben. creo que vos también lo sabés.
no creo que el alma gemela tenga que ver necesariamente con “el amor de la vida”, en el sentido de una pareja.. creo que va mas allá de eso. puede estar en cualquier lado, en cualquier cuerpo!
Muchas bendiciones para vos Paulo!
[Reply]
Definitivamente, la magia esta en el desafió de encontrar a nuestra alma gemela, ¿como saber que es nuestra alma gemela si no luchamos por saberlo?, pienso que en la búsqueda del alma gemela lo más bello de ello es hacer todo y pasar por todo para encontrarla y saber a través de esa lucha que lo que queremos es llegar a esa parte que nos complementa, eso para mi es Magia.

The story of Y - chapter 2
Oh my, here are so many thoughts about SOUL and HEART - but soul is the same as mind (only less poetic) and a heart is just a bloody (literally) pump. Your soul cannot produce magic, your heart neither. But magic (when - and if - it comes) is outside of you. You will be stricken - or you will sleep and miss it.
Last night in Italy Y hade seen something strange going on at the beach, she stood in a window and couldn´t understand what happened down there. Finally she left the house and went down to see. She passed some men who had been building up a funfair, now they went home. She thought it was a pity that she would be gone next day, she never had been in that kind of place abroad. She noticed a pillar with a little box on top where a small fortuneteller sat behind a glasswall. Oh! She remembered these dolls from her childhood! She found a coin in her pocket and put it in the slot. Out came a card with her future told - oh no! It was - OF COURSE! - written in Italian! She could not understand! She put it in her pocket and forgot about it.
Half a year later, she remembered that a friend knew italian, and she sent the little card to her, just for fun.
The translation was like this:
- Your emotions will be strong and negative the nearest hours, but don´t worry, it will soon change. You will make a travel - but not the one you intended to. When you come home, your happiness is waiting for you, if you just take the chance. You will get many signs showing that you are right in saying yes.
Y said that it was breathtaking, by this time she already was married with the man she met through telephone. And everything written on this small card, was exactly what had happened.
Magic. And there were more of it, one sign after the other popped up, from time to time.

I looked around,
made mistakes,
took many chances.
But magic used me.
Made me look into those eyes.
I had seen a hundred times

That was 17 years ago
but everything still
feels like the first time.

I have been already taking risk. It is a beautiful thing, to take risk and love withouth thinking will it last forever. But I would stil try magic. Because I want to know, who is my soulmate.
Eventhoug, if I had to do it all over again and be with the “wrong” guys, I would. Because they tought me so much about love and what I really want in a man. I belive that we would never know true love if we didn’t take risk and love the “wrong” ones.

Hace tanto tiempo q lei Brida, pero su historia me es demasiado familiar.
Si sus libros me han enseñado algo, es que las cosas pasas por alguna razon. El conocer a las personas no lleva tambien a conocernos un poco mas. La vida esta llena d riesgos y el amor, que es lo mas grande y misterioso que tiene la vida, deberia ser encontrado conociendo a las personas. Asi, despues de conocer a tantas personas equivocadas, podriamos saber y apreciar a la persona correcta.
Gracias Sr. Coelho :]

Magic or risks? Can we love without risks even if we use magic? Is this a trickquestion Paulo? ;-)
To be honest, for me it’s not about this question, I’ve already risked it all and experienced magic as well.
I’ve got another question if you don’t mind; how to move on after you met your soulmate, but had to let them go? This is where Brida ends.
She has her boyfriend still, who’s her soulmate as well. But what about the ones who are left alone?
Because moving on after such a love is hard. Heartbreaking. And even if the rational mind understands everything after years and tells you it’s all for the best and you ofcourse know that. There’s no way back anyway in real life because everything has changed.
It remains hard. The soul still protests from time to time. Mine does anyway. It’s quite the rebellious silly soul.
Without getting involved in the discussion if a special person for us is a twinsoul or a soulmate; I’d met a very special person years ago.
Reading Brida was for me instant recognition. A little bit too close for comfort perhaps even. When it happened to me I was the same age as her, quite young really. Only it was not me who had the two soulmates, but my love. Anyway, a choice had to be made in our story as well. And it was not an easy one. I didn’t make it. It was made for me. I felt left alone, because my journey was just beginning. And I had no significant other to fall back on.
Looking back with the knowledge I now have, I guess there was no other way.(I’d like to tell myself that a relationship or even marriage wouldn’t have worked, just like Kahil Gibran wrote this conclusion to his beloved Mary in your book about him. But will we ever really know without trying, another little voice tells me at the same time.)
Anyway, sometimes we have to let people go, despite what they mean to us. When people close to us pass on, we have to do the same.That’s the hard truth. Life and love are sometimes not fair. But like I said, back then I did feel very alone for a period of time. I couldn’t understand why we couldn’t be together in the traditional sense. How someone could possibly leave me ‘alone’ with whom I’ve had an incredible connection, even a very strong telepatic one. It’s maybe not magic in the traditional sense of the word, but to me that felt very magical, still does.
Ofcourse I see some things differently now. I’ve come a long way, though I can’t deny this experience scarred me as well. But what my love went trough was a nightmare. Compared to that I had an easy ride.
Something you write in Brida left me to wonder. You state that the person who refused to see a soulconnection will end up lonely. But what about the one who is left behind by such a decision? I know from stories of others and from my own experience, that the one’s who’s left behind suffers a great deal as well, if not more. Because the ones who run or however you’d like to call it, mostly move on with another love, whether in denial, out of fear or just because they didn’t know what else to do. That also happened in our story, and I felt double so lonely because of that.It’s an interesting question; I guess you could mean with lonely also the soul of a person. Whether they are in a relationship or not.
Year’s have passed, I’ve learned to live with it. I want to be at peace with it, want the best for him. And a part of me does accept it and sees it as a very special and positive thing. But there’s always the other side as well. I’ve to tried love again, it’s hard. But I will try again, although I’m quite scared, I’ll admit. My experience made me another person. My view of the world is different, trough my love I’ve learned to know the subtle language of signs. I know our love is eternal. And I still can reach out trough him. But it remains a hard journey. Balancing between the real world and the other. Our daily realities can make us doubt everything from time to time. That’s why recently I’ve adopted a specicic saying, I’ll try to translate it to English. ‘Don’t believe anything you hear and only believe half of what you see.’ Sort of means that things are not always what they seem or what people would like you to believe they are. We have to believe in our own truths.
Thanks for the question Paulo and thanks for Brida, I love all your books, but this one’s extra close to my heart. It was published at a very good time for me, just what I needed, a little wake up call and the feeling that I’m not the only one in this world with such experiences.
Love,
R

All the way from sweden this ended up in the
wrong place at first.. *smiles*
It was supposed to be my thought on ‘Magic or Risks’
(’Brida’ I am yet to read);
..thinking, if I could choose for it to be magic, I would.
A light to guide you.
By my own experience it’s been to let go, - & that is the light & the risk too, no?

È…engraçado q estava mostrando sua página pra minha esposa. Detalhe:na época do livro (li qdo lançou no Brasil) ela era uma namorada minha …(eu tinha uns 15, então, nada sério)..
E eu me lembro q fiz o teste mágico algumas vezes, com algumas….mas não conseguia nada …Então, acreditando (e testando) por erro, resolvi insistir…mesmo assim bati cabeça (fóra) mais umas 3 ou 4 vezes em um tempo curto. Foram erros suficientes pra q entendesse qual “amor” eu quereria pra viver para o resto da vida…e no final das contas deu certo..
E justamente hoje estamos com uma herdeirinha de 15 dias, e estamos seguros e confiante na “mágica” de nossa vida…micro e macrouniversalmente falando…por isso acho q escolhi(emos)a opção certa, tendo em vista as graves breves mudanças q virão no planeta…
P.S.: Ela nunca duvidou….e hoje vejo q com isso aprendi na prática o poder do feminino…e as diferenças de pólos…e Brida (depois reli algumas vezes) pra mim foi importante pq me deu uma outra visão da “busca” feminina, desse universo q difere tanto do masculino.
Valeu!

Existing in this very moment, time and place, not looking, not yearning but knowing that this soulmate exists in tandem. The faith, the belief, the knowingness that the soulmate is out there- can be a magical experience. It’s like standing in the middle of a busy street, with passers-by, with the subtle rain picking up momentum, yourself raising your head skywards, feeling each droplet make contact with you and a smile radiate throughout your being. :)

Hello Paulo, I’m Brazilian, from Joinville, Santa Catarina.
Today I finished O Zahir, I read almost all of your books, and, my God, you made me believe in God, realy live my life. I adore your books. Have you listened O Teatro Mágico? Thats a brazilian band, who has very very beautiful songs, I always remember your books when I listen it.
So, congratulations, and thank you, you help me a lot.

If I had used magic I think I would still question whether that person really was my soulmate, because it would be magic telling me who my soulmate was rather than me finding out for myself through learning about people and myself and life. I’d do that by taking risks, making decisions, and possibly making mistakes. I believe taking your own fate in your hands is a risk, but the lessons you learn from it are complete without question.
[Reply]
My answer to your question, Mr. Coelho, is simple. I would use both methods in search of my soulmate. One has to first believe that their soulmate exists, and then the faithful pursuit of that belief is to participate in and to recognize magic. I think the Magus used both methods… he was aware that his soulmate existed but still pursued a relationship with Wicca that ultimately ended because of the absence of that point of light. One could argue that it was a “mistake” for him to be with Wicca in the first place — that he was with her despite the fact he knew she did not possess that point of light but you would have to wonder if he had not been with Wicca would he have ever met Brida? Without taking risks and making mistakes there would be no action, and without action the magic is not evident.
[Reply]
I won’t ever regret all the peole that I have met in my life. There the one’s that thought me what life is about and I asure you that I have made MANY mistakes… I would take the second choice as well.. Mistakes + people = living by love
[Reply]
I believe that life is full of Magic..even if we cant see it always…there is more than meets the eye here on Earth..
To answer to your question, i think the moment your eyes meet those of your soulmate, is a magic moment revealed to you..and i would like to feel that, rather than see it through the trance you describe and the white spot..

hi paulo.
I chanced upon Brida.
I believe that living life is magic unsurpassed.We just take different routes to unravel it to ourselves.
I would take risks;in fact,i have taken risks in my quest for searching my soul mate.
It is all about looking within and listening to my own truths.It is a test of my faith.It is a test of my belief in the magic of life.
lotsa love,
winnie
[Reply]
aqui un lector tuyo jeje
creo que…las dos suenan muy bien, y es que lo de la magia podria ser el metodo mas seguro, pero no depender siempre de eso, puesto que si lo ganas tu lo mantienes, aunque el que no toma riesgos no gana…
aunque preferiria mas el tipo de amor que usted llama Agape (no se si lo escribi bien n_nu)

PS: But not too closer! :).
If I could Hear the Silence all the time or if I could enjoy the Beauty of the Moon all the time She would lose Her meaning.
Let´s say Balance or Equilibrium between the two worlds.
And have fun with the learning process!
[Reply]
I would like to have all the attitudes neccesary to do that: entering a state of transe; but not just to see the bright spot over the left shoulder of my soul mates … I mean, for everything. I would like to be closer to the Moon, to the stars, to the Silence that I currently can hear only a few moments during the day …
But Magic reveals Herself to everyone, I know that. She does that slowly, sometimes. But She knows how to do it. We just need to hear what She is saying, through our Heart.
[Reply]
I don’t believe in Magic…sorry…but I do believe that the mistakes I have made in life are such an important ingredient when making the wonderful cocktail that it has turned out to be. I don’t always need the fruit, I need the challenge, that’s what makes life interesting.

Wow… what a wonderful topic. I would love to say I have the fortitude to wait it out. I am currently waiting now… 36 yrs… and well I would prefer a magical sign at this point. Some proof positive id to let me know … yes he is the one. Ahhh… if only.

Querido Paulo, no te escribo en inglés porque hablo castellano y escribir en ingles es un poco complicado aunque lo hago cuando tengo que hacerlo, pero confio en que usted pueda hablarlo y que me entendera. Estoy muy contenta de que usted pueda vivir de su arte que es escribir, que pueda encantar con lo que escribe y con ello poder navegar en la imaginacion de muchas personas. Usted es un exelente escritor, en myspace mire su propuesta de hacer una pelicula de su libro, es asombroso.
Bueno, mi nombre es Antonella, soy Chilena y me gusta escribir pero no me considero escritora porque ese titulo todabia me queda grande. Si puede ver mi blog, le agradeceria que me comentara que le paracio. A mi me encantaria vivir de mi arte, a demas de escribir me gusta la fotografía y mi blog lo cree el año 2006, primero como un juego y despues como mi pasión. Me encantaria llegar a ser algun dia como usted, publicar un libro y que de ese libro surgiera una pelicula, ese es mi sueño. Por ahora tengo una vida tranquila, haciendo algunas cosas que no me gustan hacer, pero complementandolas con otras que si me gustan para estar en armonia y equilibrio.
Mucha suerte y gracias.

What a wonderful question!
I personally found my soulmate by meeting people and then trusting my feeling and intuition.
The result: when I met him, I had the distinct feeling I knew him so well already…
And then I went for the check by making mistakes and finding out for sure.
[Reply]
Hi,
Magic scares me, because it’s never been part of my experiences. I probably wouldn’t like it to determine a relationship.
When looking for a father for my children, I will follow my heart.
Any partner I’ve known, met, believing there is a higher meaning to the encounter, I wish to be with in eternity, one way or the other.
Especially when someone seems to be an answer to prayers (which a lot of people will say is magical thinking), I go for it a hundred percent.
A couple of months ago I said a novena to St Joseph for a job promotion, and the answer to my prayers, might be a new soul mate, more than being an employee. Pretty funny actually.

“Would you try to find your soul mate through magic or by taking risks, making mistakes?”
The magic you are speaking about actually exists in real life. EVERYONE has the choice to use it. BUT it is NO “magic” in a supernatural way.. It is one of the almost forgotten ancient skills we all still carry in us. We just got numb. Or let’s say.. Most of us became illiterates to these signs. So, if you are happy to be a “wild child”, you might “still” be stronger connected to these skills. But no matter if you are far away from being aware of your ancient skills or if they are loudly a life in you.. I think THE BEST WAY TO GET USED TO THIS SPECIAL AWARENESS is through taking risks and making mistakes. It is “just” a matter of “learning” to shorten the way to the ancient knowledge.
Avoiding the pain, would mean to avoid a true meaning.. :)
[Reply]
Je pense que plus on prend de risques, plus on fait d’erreurs au cours de notre vie, le plus on va être certain, sans aucun gramme de doute, qu’on est en face de notre âme soeur le jour où on la rencontre. et notre certitude est si grande qu’elle parait magique.
[Reply]
People talk of risk and pain, but it dosnt have to be enduring pain. As we open our hearts with understanding of the nature of our emotions, as energy flowing or blocked, the pain is nothing more than where the energies of life have become stuck in the human spirits energy body, and that through ‘magic’ we can soften and release the pain, restoring the flow of life in moments, thus what hurt us now enriching us. The one who ‘hurt us’ is now the one who has blessed us with a deeper love and knowledge of the self. Thus through risk, healing and transformation anyone could be a soulmate, one through whom we experience our own soul and connection. And is not healing and transformation in itself magic?
And if one uses simple magic to attract a soul mate, one still has to be open and take risk, and just as life doesnt stop flowing through us, and sometimes gets blocked and we feel pain, so even a soul mate can ‘feel’like they are no longer a soulmate, if we do not restore and maintain the flow of the energies of life through us. So risk is still required even after using magic to attract our mate.
In The Love Clinic, I wrote about both the magic I did to attract my mate and also the risk I continually take to maintain our love and connection,despite the challenges that life presents us. Paulo, if you have some time, I would be deeply honoured if you would read and review my book. You can read about it on http://www.lovecliniconline.com but I will be delighted to send you a copy if you could let me know where to send it.
Thank you for your beautiful books which I love. I just read The Witch of Portobello so I would love to hear your comment on The Love Clinic.

Dear Paulo,
Maybe, Magic is already a risk, when you set up looking for your soul-mate? We’re just humans, but if the God was a Human, why could not we make wonders?
[Reply]
Prazer imenso “falar” com você, Paulo! Estou conhecendo o blog hoje, embora já acompanhe sua carreira de escritor há um bom tempo.
Eu não sei se compreendo suficientemente o conceito de ‘alma gêmea’, tenho sinceras dúvidas quanto a ele. Não quanto à sua existência, a qual me parece completamente possível, mas quanto às suas definições, talvez.
A alma gêmea poderia ser um amigo? Mãe? Pai? Me parece que sim, pois creio que esta alma afim possa mudar a sua ‘apresentação’ diante do outro ao longo das encarnações, sempre de acordo com o que deveremos viver em cada rodada rs.
Desta forma, muitas vezes o encontro não virá pronto. Precisará ser conquistado, passo a passo, com cada uma de suas dores e delícias.
Gosto de pensar que nós conquistamos o direito de acesso à alma gêmea (embora eu prefira chamar apenas de Amor)através dos incontáveis tropeços pelo caminho, que nos abrem os olhos, sempre e um pouco mais, para enxergar de verdade. Um belo dia, surge uma pessoa das formas mais inacreditáveis. O meu Amor, surgiu através de um encontro na internet. Para ser mais exata, no orkut. E até hoje, nós não sabemos exatamente de que forma ele chegou ao meu perfil. Deixou-me um recado perguntando sobre o texto onde dizia “quem sou eu”, com o qual ele se identificou enormemente. Respondi, e a partir daí, começamos a nos escrever e conversar através dos respectivos blogs, orkuts, messengers, telefones. Alguns meses depois nos conhecemos pessoalmente e duas coisas me chamaram muito a atenção. A primeira, foi que encontrá-lo pessoalmente me pareceu tão simples pois na verdade,já nos conhecíamos. Eu não estava conhecendo um estranho. Estava encontrando a pessoa que pude conhecer plenamente sem que nunca o tivesse encontrado pessoalmente. A segunda, foi a forma tão destoante dos meus padrões através da qual nos conectamos. Eu nunca fui o tipo de pessoa que buscasse chats ou coisas do gênero para conhecer pessoas. Sempre me causou grande estranhamento as histórias onde casais se encontravam pela internet. Mesmo admirando, nunca achei que fosse algo para mim. Preferia uma maneira mais ‘normal’ de conhecer pessoas. Assim, foi um grande salto no escuro confiar que isto pudesse ser real e verdadeiro e, mesmo com medo, me permitir acreditar. Para ele, não foi nada mais fácil, já que vinha saindo de um relacionamento altamente problemático e dolorido com uma pessoa conhecida também pela internet que mostrara, após alguns meses de namoro, sua verdadeira personalidade (inteiramente diferente daquela pela qual ele se apaixonara) causando grandes estragos emocionais e até físicos.
Com este histórico, nos permitimos chegar um ao outro. Quase 1 ano e meio se passou e ainda hoje nos surpreende e encanta a pureza de nossos sentimentos e a disponibilidade que temos um para o outro, na construção diária do Amor no qual tanto acreditamos.
Será isso a Alma Gêmea? Acho que talvez, o Tempo saberá responder muito melhor do que eu. Mas uma coisa eu sei, se o nosso namoro tivesse um slogan rs, seria “desde sempre”, pois é assim que se parece para nós.
Grande beijo para você!
Sua admiradora convicta,
Bia

You are wrong, magic doesn´t work that way. Light near the shoulder? The person is on fire…
X was a lonely man, he used to go out dancing saturdays to find his luck, but somehow he never did. Once he went up to the door to go out, but suddenly he felt strange (and didn´t understand why), went back to the sofa and thought he should just wait a while.
Then the telephone rang…
Y was a woman who had been in Italy with a man, but on the way home they got angry with each other and split up. He took a plane, she went by train. When she arrived home, her doorsteps were full of flowers and messages: Please forgive me!
She went in to make a call to him - and she said: - Can we talk? And he answered: - We can, I just went back to sofa to get your call, even if I had no idea that you were going to call me.
They begun to make jokes and had fun for a while - when Y suddenly had a funny feeling and asked: - You ARE X, aren´t you?
But he were not. She had called the wrong number.
The story ended like this: They met 20 minutes after that call, they still are together. This happened about 30 years ago. No shining points over the shoulders were invented in these days. However, the phone was…

Paulo, supongo que para todos, la respuesta mas facil seria usar la magia, buscar ese punto de luz, evitando asi todo el dolor de cometer errores… pero en lo personal creo que con cada error que se comete, se aprende algo nuevo, cada momento de dolor solo nos enseña a ser mas fuertes. es el hecho de correr riesgos lo que nos hace lo que somos, y no cambiaria eso por nada del mundo pues… si nunca has sentido dolor y tristeza tampoco sabras lo que se siente la felicidad.
Y pues, me encantaria tratar de ver el punto luminoso sobre el hombro de la persona que ha llegado a mi vida despues de tantos intentos y errores :)

Hi sir,
Is magic, the kind of feel you get when you meet someone first, I mean love at first sight.? Magic is closing your eyes and believing, while risk is opening your eyes and discovering. I would like to discover.

There is so much pain in making mistakes that you kill yourself a thousand times for it.Do you really believe we could find our soulmates this way.Is it worth all that pain ? I want to believe in magic but that doesn’t exist.I guess then its only by enduring pain that you can find true love :).What would you do ?

Ooooh, this is music to my ears and a feast for my thoughts!
While I’m of the belief that Soulmates are found through taking risks and making mistakes. I’m *also* of the belief there’s an energy that is created. And shared. And felt between two people. In Sync. And I think it goes far beyond the concept of ‘chemistry’.
I’ve often said: “We all are truly spiritual beings and our souls touch easily and frequently. We just need to quiet our thoughts and ourselves in order to hear and feel it.”

Maybe what you’ve called ‘Magic’, I call it a kind of energy.
