    Just like the adventure book! If you were to write an adventure book about life with options on the end of each page…what would the options be?

    My experience is that we have several destinies depending on how we choose to use ourselves in a life. Do we keep reacting on our experiences and so keep on enacting our past? Do we learn from our experiences and learn from our lives so we can start responding instead of reacting? Do we see our experiences through a role - the victim, the abuser the whatever our role might be, then believe ourselves to be the role we have in whatever circumstances instead of who we are in our heart, deeper than whatever role. Do we look at whatever has happend for us through the eyes of love and look for the meaning, the teaching and naturally than open our hearts and live life from an open heart? from an open heart we can consciously co-create our lives. We can also choose otherwise. The choices involved are up to us. What we dare to choose. And do we dare to act from our choice.

    The path is so unreal..
    so unknown..
    desire..
    so dangerous..
    do you really want to go?

    Sometimes I think that we can live two lives at the same time; one real and one in your dream, where your imagination creates the most beautiful paintings the heart can desire.
    Sometimes I hope we don’t have to chose because no matter which way we go there will be suffering.
    Sometimes I am looking for answers..for a sign..
    Life…was(not) meant to be a struggle…?
    (I heard both)
    which one is true then?

    love

    dear Agnieszka,

    I read somewhere that we have to suffer with joy…when we do that then will every step give a smile in our heart. Now this is easy to say and read…so I choose for the path and walk it as much as I can with joy.

    Love

    There should be some kind of a path but we must have choices, of course.
    When i met a beatiful girl a few years ago she was reading The Fifth Mountain, it was in dutch. I asked her to read to me one phrase dfrom the book. She opened and read to me:
    “This was freedom: to feel what the heart desired, with no thought to the opinion of the rest”
    Or something similar that she translated from dutch to spanish in a sweet way. That sentence was meaningful at that moment to me. She got a date taht day. I got her e-mail and we wrote each other for a few months then disapeared.
    Lst friday i went to a book shop looking for something and by chance found The Fifth Mountain, opened and by chance there was this sentece. I bought it. I read it in a day.
    Today i check Paulo’s blog and here is another sentence from The Fifth Mountain.

    Making choices…

    I think at the end of the day is that one must continue to open the heart - no matter what -we may be afraid to get hurt,disappointed or have to make choices or suffer in order for growth and Love , I think the main thing is though is in How we react to these choices ,and love is not meant to be a struggle - it just is ..full of joy,hope ,grief and love like a full circle …you think you have arrived but in actual fact ,you have just started ..back at the beginning ..its good to focus on the positive things that choices bring us ..I dont want to create or think about the struggles or obstacles .But the truth for me is you can have both ,thats why God gives us a second chance …and yes …Love and Light Tania

    ahhh…se tudo dependesse somente da nossa vontade e força…mas nem sempre é assim…o destino tem sempre a última palavra…a vida de todos nós se compara a uma grande corrida de revezamento…aquela com os bastões…aplaudir somente aquele que cruza a linha de chegada…é faltar com o respeito com todos os demais que deram o máximo…para que esse último…brilhasse…

    Thank you dear Hildegarde,
    puzzles, mysteries, undiscovered winds..
    but you know what..the heart is a treasury where you can find the most beautiful diamonds in the world, the magic wand to happiness, the antidote for every sorrow and the answer for every question…
    in time..of course;-)

    love
    Agnieszka
