By Paulo Coelho
It is important to take from what we see every day
the secrets that routine otherwise prevents us from perceiving.

Dear Paul from Austria, my kitchen’s noises come from ….my husband, never thinking that …others still sleep. Typical from Aquarius. They are awake, then everybody should be too, or they want to sleep, the …lights switch off too..[I am joking.]
Have a nice day..
LOVE,

Dear Heart, driving and listening to music is wonderful. Sometimes I feel sorry we have reached our destination..Only whenever our daughter is with us, we do not agree of the.. repertoire!!
In my own car the CDs are.. classical music!!I bought a new Mercedes CLK car two years ago and my special order was ….the ‘surround music player’! The effort to change stations, while driving is a bit dangerous, so be careful.The distances in Cyprus are so short. You can go from one end to the other in two-three hours…
The ‘little secrets’, our treasures of people who have left their mark on our hearts, are our refuge and the ‘antidote’ to loneliness. I think the same, not just with hope, but with certainty that we ‘are’ with our beloved ones now and in eternity.
LOVE,
THELMA
hmmm Even if your routine is the same – staying in the moment helps us to see the secrets that are in our face ..so we can flow,change and be part of the universe ..taking in all that shows up .Blessings Tania
Little secrets can make us very happy. Every day I drive the car on average three hours, before, during and after work. USA is a big free way, and one has to drive to go anywhere. Drive fast, most of the time, 65 mph or 100 km/hr. Alone in the car, I enjoy myself, listening to music from five different radio stations. I keep switching between the stations, to find the best music. Except one week, when I made a mistake ordering “The Devil and Miss Prym” on CD’s, instead of in book form. Then for a week, I listened to this exciting story, while cruising across the city. Well, where am I going with this.
Yes, today I had one of those little secrets happening to me when routinely returning back home from work. A special song, that a friend gave to me, at a special moment, which always reminds me of this person. This secret that’s between me and this person, was a gift from him to me, and each time I hear the melody, I know I am loved by him, and I feel great love for him too. This man is dead, and I can only hope one day we will meet again in eternity. It made me very happy today, when I got a little reminder of being loved.
And, I had another little secret too, I won’t tell you about, unless you are involved, and you will know it without me saying it.
I do not think that following a routine has ever prevented me from looking at life as a miracle, eveyday.
I like the moment of awakening in the morning, of the sun rising, the first sounds of birds or the cars in the street, the sounds of the kitchen preparing breakfast, the smell of bread, of coffee.. But although it is routine, our thoughts are new and different. A whole parallel world exists, which is much more ‘real’ than the one we experience with our five senses. This world is full of music, expectations, beauty, colours and feelings of Love, warmth and being ONE with the Universe.

this is like taking things for granted.Because of my restless nature,I cant stand routine.So,I must only agree that we must do new things time to time.Me,I need great power of will when I have to do repetitive things,and sometimes one cant avoid them.
It’s true.
It’s te secret to live a really new life every moment.
I often happened to see that when people is next to death (or passage in the other life) they start to think in a different way. They start to “live the moment”.
It’s also happened to me twelve years ago, when doctors told me I had a cancer (it was not true).
I started to give every moment of my life a higher value.
The routine makes fall a curtain between Man and his/her life, and he/she starts to give up the pleasure of discovering and conquerring new experiences.
have a nice day.
