Dear Paulo,
…this interview just reminds me that to this date I still have not received my
Life membership du”"Club des fous” -
est ce que je dois prendre la plume? .

Thank you, thank you so much for …making it possible for the video to work. I love the way you express yourself Paolo Coelho, the warmth and expression of your eyes and the honesty of saying how your parents reacted when you wanted to become a writer. Of course, you were born an artist and a Warrior of Light. I have to confess that I failed to follow my dream..I was so near.. I wanted to become a “big pianist”. I, have even been in the Music Akademy of Vienna at 16 and …then I…ran away, back home, married at 20 years old and a mother at 21… I am happy being a ..wife and mother but I am unhappy that I was not strong enough..I have always wondered how far I could go…Maybe …next life, if there is one… LOVE Thelma
My dearest Annie, Think of me as your spiritual mother[grandmother] and always feel that in every step you make I will be there. Our hearts do not have a…limited space. So, my blessings will follow you and I know yours will be with me. I am looking forward to seeing your beautiful Greek ..eyes. LOVE, Thelma
My dearest Annie, thank you for answering again to me. From everything you write I am sure, that you have found your way for fulfilling your dreams. The only thing that I would like now to add is to stop wasting your energy fighting with your Mother. Just smile and love her and go and play your piano.. I am sure she is very proud and feels lucky to have you. She may speak the ‘language’she has learned from …her own parents. Speak to her with your voice of the ‘Warrior of the Light’and I am sure at the end she will understand. To make you such a lovely and beautiful soul, for sure she has put her utmost love. I will wait from you to send me an …invitation for your first concert.LOVE. Thelma
My dearest Annie, Thank you for anwering to me. Through dialog [like Socrates!!!] we can reach the Truth!! I believe, this lacks our nowadays world, in every aspect of human relationships and the result is pain, fight and loneliness. Maybe my children have a different icon of me, than what I think.? It is always the gap between generations. I, always, being an artist [in soul], try to use my intuition in every aspect of my life. LOVE is not a word. It is the feeling, the warmth, the being-one with the Universe and other people. Sometimes I have read that: we may be closer to someone who is a thousand miles away than the people near us. This, I alawys remember, whenever I feel lonely and sad. Art is the way to express one’s soul but unfortunately we still have to live and act as practical human beings in this dimension..Do you agree? Learning new things is a necessity.[Γηράσκω αεί διδασκόμενος] and has been my motto. So, my Annie, learn as much as you can, and you will never feel bored or lonely in your life. Love from Aphrodite’s island, Thelma
My dearest Annie, I have just found your kind message. If I remember well, I think you are a musician and a ..Greek??? So you got my message right!!! My world belongs to the …romantic era and the ..unfair for women and girls !!! Dreams have their supposed time to be fulfilled, especially when we speak for an artist’s proffession that needs complete devotion. Now I am also a …proud mother and ..grandmother and it is the time for them to dream and I believe I was a good mother and never discourage my children in anything they wanted to do. Maybe this was my ..Path, for I always think that I wouldn’t change the feelings I had experience for the whole riches or success of the World..I do not also blame my parents,because we all think according to the time and way we are brought up. But you must remember: YOUR ARE GOING TO LIVE WITH YOUR DECISIONS, so do not let anybody stop you…Just give the opportunity to yourself and try your ..strength and abilities..So you will know how far you can go and you will never have to go back and wonder how your life could be. All my LOVE, THELMA

I AM SORRY MY LAPTOP DOES NOT WORK AND I CANNOT SEE THE VIDEO: MY VIEWS ON INTERNET AND PUBLISHING, not even through Guardian UK -site. LOVE from CYPRUS, Thelma
Its so true -people always think that if you want to be an Artist you must be crazy ,but God hands us gifts and talents that we should follow ,where would the world be with out words,paintings,poems and stories and sculpture .All artists gain inspiration from other artists its what gets the creativity flowing .Great interview
Blessings Tania
“Now that I’m officially crazy, I can be a writer!”
