Nice surprise ;-)

From time to time there goes a couple of days
or weeks between my visits here.
Then it’s like opening a box of chocolate you have
been longing for and enjoying the taste. :-)

If I had seent the change-text I would most likely
have sent it to you too! *grin*

Happy New Year Paulo! :-)

It’s a very special feeling, especially when you constantly seek, aware that the universe is with you, constantly look for signs that guide you, a feeling of being at the right place at the right moment. After so much of turbulences during the last part of the year, i feel like i am today at the exact right place, somewhere the universe wanted me to be today. I woke up this morning, again thinking of where have i lost my quardian; my strength and confidence. Never thought i would find it before the countdown for the year i am looking forward to now.

It probably started with the concept explained by Carl Gustav Jung, the Swiss analyst, in Paulo Coelho’s Witch Of Portobello; the four stages of individual progress Persona – Shadow – Soul – Wise Old Man / Great Mother. My turbulences was the shape the Shadow took, and today i say for new year, “yes i have a few faults, but i’m good enough, and i want to go forward”, 2009 here i come.

Everything is what you believe it is, no matter how the day started, it is ending with a wise man, Mohan saying “it’s your life”. I sure am at the right place at the right moment.

Is about other people perception on us. Let’s imagine I’m the lady in the picture. You look at me, right? I have no idea about your existence. You are impressed on my Coke, because is doing something “WOW”. Therefore you want to meet me and know me as the owner of that miraculouse Coke. Luky me! I am a winner and I even don’t know it.

So it’s for sure that my “angel” asked me to stay right there and to have a Coke, as it was hot outside. Perhaps he told me: look, there is such a wonderfull landscape” or “read the paper NOW”.

Yes, things like that happen everyday. That’s why we should listen to mom and dad when they teach us: “When you go to your bed, thank to God first, make a cross, and then go to sleep”. The kid could ask: “To thank for what? You didn’t want to buy to me today that toy, so I am angry with you and God and everybody in this world”.

Not even many grown-ups don’t understand why should we tank to God when nothing good we consider happened in that day.

I remember when a met somebody special, It was to Being In The Right Place and the right moment, I saw him and viceversa then Cupido did the rest. Later, this love history became like “On the banks of the River Piedra I sat down and cry, Paulo Coelho’s book”. I love somebody and that it a gift of God. I live the present but I often remember the past and I can say that Love is the most important feeling in this live.

Esta é uma daquelas fotos em ficamos pensando: “Porque eu não tive esta idéia antes?”.

Parabéns a Paulo e equipe que sempre estão nos presenteando com imagens e assuntos interessantes e diversificados!
