Inauguration of Paulo Coelho street in Santiago

by Paulo Coelho on June 27, 2008

Dear Readers,
I wanted to share with you this magical moment in which I saw a street in Santiago being dedicated to me.
As a pilgrim, I could see the towers of Santiago afar and had the sudden realisation that I had to keep walking.
Love
Paulo

Paulo Dear, This is also a part of the fulfillment of Destiny in the pursuit of which, like you, we are all engaged in our own pre-determined way. I would love to meet you in this street to experience magical moments.
Love,

Great!

I had a magic moment as I was walking to a little village could Ahlden, where I wanted to look for a flat. As I saw the village and the church at the beginning of the village, I had the feeling this is all right.
My landlady was Christ and we had a very good relationship. I lived there for 2 years.
2 weeks ago I saw my neighbour on the bridge of the river Aller. It was 6 years later. He was on the bike. We smiled and greeted.
This was magic for me. I was born in Celle where this river flows through and Ahlden has a castle like Celle. Magic places for me.
I´m local. I never moved more than 50km away from Celle.
I don´t know, if I ever move more than 50km away from Celle. Perhaps that happens one day, I don´t know.

Greats to all of you unique people :D

Lembro um homem que caminhou rumo a Santiago de Compostela. Agora sei de uma rua, em Santiago de Compostela, com o nome desse homem.

Parabéns Paulo Coelho

Um grande Abraço
do Nuno Firmino

(Também eu vou partir rumo a uma peregrinação – vou caminhar pelo meu sonho – e levo comigo uma dedicatória: “Acredite em seus sonhos”.

Os meus agradecimentos querido amigo por me fazer acreditar que é possível… E também por me levar a passear pelas suas obras, que fazem lembrar um jardim de flores.)

“If you make the Most High your dwelling, even the Lord, who is my refuge, then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you, to guard all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so you will not strike your foot against a stone.
You will tread upon the lion and the cobra, you will trample the great lion and the serpent.”

Well done, my lovely Paulo.
I see a sainthood coming)) shhh.
Blessings always
thank you for being you
