By Paulo Coelho
And each man kills the thing he loves,
By all let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word,
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword.
(The Valkyries)

Dear Alexandra, I think that ‘man kills’ because he is so possesive and selfish and he wants to hold in his ..palm, sealed, LOVE. But Love is like… water and fire and air and sand, we cannot keep it prisoner. We do not belong to anyone. Our souls are free and our light is always in search for its source. LOVE,THELMA
You cannot kill love as it lives everywhere in smell ,touch ,sight and sound and of course taste ,our hearts only want to wear it all over ..and soar with it till we reach all of the rainbows ,rivers -mountains and loving free because it wants to be ..Blessings Tania
“It is not true! God’s kindly earth
Is kindlier than men know,
And the red rose would but blow more red,
The white rose whiter blow
Out of his mouth a red, red rose!
Out of his heart a white!
For who can say by what strange way,
Christ brings his will to light”.
Oscar Wilde: The Ballad of Reading Gaol
A poem about forgiveness.
Dear Alexandra,
I was asking myself the same question many, many times and I think there can be many reasons, like fear, sacrifice, etc..,but you know what, I also think that if something is meant to be then it’ll happen, you can and should fight for it, yes, but if it doesn’t come to you then maybe it wasn’t supposed to.
Everything is in the hands of God, anyway; who knows, maybe the defeat will make us better.
Sometimes when we lose, we actually win. (I’ve heard it somewhere)

Thank you Paul, what you said really does help me.
The lines are so beautiful,but why man kills what he loves?
I’m just starting to read this book, I’m curious to know how it ends. These words are so true and I wonder how do we really break the pact we made that leads us to kill everything we love? Is there a specific moment we did this? I feel I’ve made this pact so many times I can’t even count…
Yes..
and so true what you both, dear Paul and Thelma wrote..
and yes…true love is freedom… free to fly, to reach the stars, to touch the sky…
Thank you so much for the blessing dear Thelma.

That ‘killing’look, the ‘flattering words’, the..’poisonous kisses’! This is..Man’s love. This is.. possession… True love is freedom. We, the Warriors of Light, are in need of Uranian Love. Love and soul need all the elements, in order to flourish. Protect yourself, my dearest Annie, thinking/imagining yourself in a white light! This is magic! Bad thoughts, influences or envy will not be able to reach you. I am sending you and Paulo and Paul and everydody my…white blessings. LOVE, THELMA
Hello dear Annie,
I agree with what you are saying except the part so then parents cant really say that they love their children’
of course parents love their children, it’s just the level, quality and capacity of love and acceptance that varies. Because even if it’s out of fear, it’s because parents love their children and want the best for them! Maybe you meant something else.
love
