Today’s Question by the reader : Hildegarde

by Paulo Coelho on October 14, 2008

What gave you the strength to go on for your search to your sword?…and when you found your sword what did you see?…like the little lamb that guided you to your sword.

What gave me strength ? the realization that I could no longer turn back.
What I saw ? the beginning of a new path.

My dearest Paul from Austria, the Path may be new, with ‘no bridges or ways back’, but the Traveller is travelling through time too, in the three-dimensional World. Our bodies, ‘gracefully’ or …. less ‘gracefully’ obey to the physical laws, ageing, but our … Souls, belonging to the other dimensions, being eternal are always young!!
To the … young at heart![There was a group of tourists once, coming to Cyprus during Winter times, because all of them were retired people. The name of the group was THE YOUNG AT HEART].
LOVE,
THELMA

Strenght is realising our own weakness.

Strenght is realising weakness. It can just get better.

A decision for a new path is the cutting off of all the bridges and the knowledge that there is no way back.
