The freedom of having no shackles or chains is an absolute luxury… if you have nothing, you have nothing to loose… but then you have to have been there to know this is true… some never have the chance…

Love, is all you need, Paul

Thank you Paulo Coelho for the story. I admire your mind.
Turtles are magic animals, also wise in their behaviour.
It makes me remember when I was a child, we used to say it holds its house on its back, then, we had to call it a carapace, or a shell. Less long maybe… But Isn’t it revealing of the childhoodtimes, to the mature ones?

Claudia may be as my bestfriend. She always runs, from right to left, and for a very bit of money back. I tried to explain her that, she’d gain more time if doing activities she loves, but she simply did not hear; doing the same duties everyday.
She spends her shorty days in the fear of lacking, sometimes I feel. But we have all our fears.
Me, I never really cared, too much, maybe. In a way, we should share to balance:
my friend with less work and me more steps outside, to visit the golden but stagnant turtles. :)

Love and smiles.
Lucie.

I can say I feel part of that story too..

I’m having a busy wonderful life, I love it, for now.
In the mornings I’m going to school (last year of high school), then in the evenings I work till 11pm. And still I find time to read, on the bus, school breaks.. there are so many books that are to be read and meditated that a life seems to short.

I love your books… but who doesn’t? :)
