this evening unraveled a surprise of the mini sorts for me. after somehow going into a deep tangent concerning the internet with my mother while watching the president’s address to congress, i found myself attempting to break down the idea of a tumblr, a twitter- all of the systems we use on hourly or daily basis to essentially achieve connections with one another. hyperconnections. more tangents; the most striking being my mother’s realization that at the age of 54 she feels as unaware and disconnected from this part of reality as her 87 year old mother… and my own epiphany: consisting of wonder as to why i’ve put so many thoughts and so much focus into such a stagnant window in my tactile life when the most important and nourishing figures in it are not tangled in this web- and where any of it will lead, if at that, for any or all of us. of course the obvious stared me down and shouted i have to keep adjusting and partaking in order to avoid sitting in my mother’s shoes. and her mother’s shoes. and so on. it can become deflating, and almost tedious to keep track of so much and be able to make the time to process it as best as possible. it is as easy as feathers floating from the ceiling to believe no one really gives a shit what my little words and worlds are declaring and reaching for, and i should assume such a thing by fucking default. all of the combined negatives implied made me recoil. or dig myself furthur down. assume it unlikely i’d even want to expose my mother to all of the endless possibilities of having so much information at your fingers. when in truth i couldn’t have wanted to help her more.
i found mr. coelho’s own pocket here tonight after clicking his tweet. just like that. a voice worthy of all praise ever given, and he’s just like you, just like me; floating around in this highly complex magic with the same fundamental desire to touch and be touched by the world we’re breathing.
my initial intent was to simply thank you, sir, for simply being you and showing us how inspiration can move deeper than the depths of our imagination, even- if not usually- when we are furthest away from it. thanks to you, my mother’s impact on the world she knows (and it on hers) is going to flourish in ways neither of us can possibly dream of; and i am most humbled to know that i will be the one to guide her through with a plethora of positive encouragements just like you.
warmest regards,
m.c.e.

Hi Paulo ! Friends !
thanks for the oppertunity.
For the very first time in history oh humanity, basics needs to most ( certainly not all ) are met! let’s all salute and say a prayer for all our ancestors, all theose people of faith & courage, the scintists, in short the generations gone by ! by their blood and sweat they have handed over a world to us where life is kind of easy, we don’t have to live working contrinously to satisfy teh basic needs.
World today is full of options and choices, perhaps one too many. so much so that, humanity as a whole has become like a child in a toy shop, a huge toy shop which includes toys of destruction. Humanity is playing about with all sorts of toys. like children we are obsessed with speed, things are becomming faster and faster, ‘growth’ & ‘development’ are reaching higher and higher figures. situation is fast SPINNING out of control, as was shown by the jerks in international financial system, financial system troubles are precusor to war. even now people are talking about ‘turnarounds’ and restoration of those idiotic growth figures.
HUMANITY AS A WHOLE NEEDS TO TAKE A BREAK. sit back, contemplate, and see what is it that we really want. First and foremost amongst our ‘wants’ needs to be a desire to be in control of our minds. An uncontrolled mind is like a monkey and as dangerous as a monkey with easy to use guns in its hands.
But then are we not what our minds are, no we are mind and a liitle more, that little more is consioiusness, we need to learn to let the consiousness rule. we need to listen to Zesus’s advise of waking up. I am not blaming individuals, afterall no one chooses suffering consiously, our situation is like that of a dog which chews on dry bone and enjoys the bloood which is actually comming o9ut of its own bruished mouth and tongue, cann’t blame the dog, can’st blame the indiviual human beings. Human mind needs to be reined in.
In the past people have devised techniques, some new age chaps have devised some devises also; so excericse more control over the mind. but something much simpler, much more effective is required ( like the one i have in mind ), for Humanity to come out of it’s presnet, unfocused, confused, state. we need to intoduce children to silence, to themslves at an early age. we need to make the boardroom hawks, contemplate their actions in silence of a few minutes before starting of meetings. Humanity, amjority of humans need to become meditative, less agitated.
more importantly, we need to learn to laugh, a postive, pelsant laughter more often, so here is a joke
Little johnny, all of 7 years was was cycling around his home at 8 PM, he was curious to see what lttle jenny all of 8 years old may be upto at this time, so he peeped in her room, jenny was aghast ” that is bad manners, did u not hear momma say that it is bad manners to see ladies in night gowns”, “fine” said johhny, turned his cap backwards and turned away his cycle. As he had pedalled away two paces, he hears jeeny speak “u can come in now. it’s Ok, I have taken off the night gown”.
Mind is really afraid to come close to anything that can create more awareness. That will be the beginning of the end of the mind. That will be the death of the mind.
so the fight wont be easy

Yes, me too, sorry.
I found this spiritual story today in my mail box, so nice :
I wait quietly before GOD, for my salvation comes from HIM. HE alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will never be shaken. Psalm 62:1-2
Shoes in Church
I showered and shaved…………. I adjusted my tie.
I got there and sat…………. In a pew just in time.
Bowing my head in prayer……… As I closed my eyes.
I saw the shoe of the man next to me….. Touching my own. I sighed.
With plenty of room on either side…… I thought, “Why must our soles touch?”
It bothered me, his shoe touching mine… But it didn’t bother him much.
A prayer began: “Our Father”…………. I thought, “This man with the shoes, has no pride.
They’re dusty, worn, and scratched. Even worse, there are holes on the side!”
“Thank You for blessings,” the prayer went on.
The shoe man said…………… A quiet “Amen.”
I tried to focus on the prayer……. But my thoughts were on his shoes again.
Aren’t we supposed to look our best. When walking through that door?
“Well, this certainly isn’t it,” I thought, Glancing toward thefloor.
Then the prayer was ended……….. And the songs of praise began.
The shoe man was certainly loud……. Sounding proud as he sang.
His voice lifted the rafters……… His hands were raised high.
The Lord could surely hear. The shoe man’s voice from the sky.
It was time for the offering……. And what I threw in was steep.
I watched as the shoe man reached…. Into his pockets so deep.
I saw what was pulled out………. What the shoe man put in.
Then I heard a soft “clink”. As when silver hits tin.
The sermon really bored me……… To tears, and that’s no lie.
It was the same for the shoe man… For tears fell from his eyes.
At the end of the service…… As is the custom here.
We must greet new visitors, And show them all good cheer.
But I felt moved somehow…………. And wanted to meet the shoe man.
So after the closing prayer……. I reached over and shook his hand.
He was old and his skin was dark…. And his hair was truly a mess.
But I thanked him for coming……… For being our guest.
He said, “My name’s Charlie………. I’m glad to meet you, my friend.”
There were tears in his eyes……. But he had a large, wide grin.
“Let me explain,” he said……… Wiping tears from his eyes
“I’ve been coming here for months…. And you’re the first to say ‘Hi.’”
“I know that my appearance………Is not like all the rest.”
“But I really do try……………..To always look my best.”
“I always clean and polish my shoes..Before my very long walk.”
“But by the time I get here………They’re dirty and dusty, like chalk.”
My heart filled with pain……….. And I swallowed to hide my tears.
As he continued to apologize……… For daring to sit so near
He said, “When I get here………..I know I must look a sight.”
“But I thought if I could touch you..Then maybe our souls might unite.”
I was silent for a moment……….. Knowing whatever was said
Would pale in comparison… I spoke from my heart, not my head.
“Oh, you’ve touched me,” I said……”And taught me, in part;
“That the best of any man…………”Is what is found in his heart.”
The rest, I thought,……………. This shoe man will never know.
Like just how thankful I really am… That his dirty old shoe touched my soul
You are special to me and you have made a difference in my life.
I respect you, and truly cherish you.
Send this to your friends, No matter how often you talk, Or how close you are, And send it to the person who sent it to you.
Let old friends know you haven’t forgotten them, and tell new friends you never will.
Remember, everyone needs a friend.
Liebe Paul von Austria,
You know that Gravatar thing is a bit of an avatar to me. I still can’t make it work.
Thanks for the tip anyway.
Have a nice day.
Liina.L, that was fantastic! What fun! What an interesting way to share creativity and art. Thanks for sharing this little video.
Ok, here is something I could not resist to put here. I think it’s just so creative and so much fun.
This describes very well what features we have in our faces, what possibilities to do with our faces. And what kind of information using our little face muscles can send to others.
Enjoy, and get a good laugh, if You will!
Have a great night!
Here it is:

Yeah another one that has popped up in my head,i could write thousands tonight I guess that’s because the moon is in Pisces oh what the hell…
BLAH BLAH(yeah,that’s an hell of a title,lol)
They told me to watch the sky
And hold on tight
then it would be as clear as a crystal ball
And I will finally know it all
The stars might shine and the moon might be high
But I can’t see anything tonight
Oh maybe tomorrow
When will be washed the sorrow
Well maybe tomorrow
When it will be time to grow
Yeah but grow what seeds?
Will do some deeds
Caravan’s passing and I must make a move
And join the crowd to groove
The darkest hour
Midnight’s corner
Can’t spend the night writing
Shouting or shooting
Hey,don’t be scared as it is just Art
And I’m not falling apart
Some would wish
But I won’t serve them that dish
Hey,what’s that noise in the dark?
That must be,wait…that’s my heart
Oh…don’t start
:D
Thank You Paul, I have done this now.
Hey,thanks for that Catherine.I was feeling down and then I saw the adverts,lol.Yeah the grandma,lol.thanks for that,I guess angels work everywhere.
:)
Catherine M,
Yes, it is 7.95, I mean there are very few publishers who does not even want to see your work, So I have to publish it using those free publishers.
Anyways, they have to pay the writers… I agree with your point :)
I will get back soon.
Catherine M,
I mean if there are spelling mistakes or something on the book (Just for Editing purpose)… Nothing else…
You know it is hard to find a publisher who will publish your content and so I have to do it on my own. I do not want to make money out of my work.
Anyways, It would be good if someone would be interested because it gives more visibility for the work being done and so on…
Thanks once again !
song for the day

Dear Paul from Austria,
Thank you, I was trying also the same …
Good day !
There is change in the air.
In the way the sunlight dapples through the fresh leaves, even in the dust haze in the air.
People walk taller, smile more, or is that my thinking?
Even the dawn looks different everyday, a burst of orange one day, a stylish streak in maroon the other.
In the stillness. Serene.
I look around, it is all the same- why do I feel the universe is being particularly kind?
Dear CAtherine M,
I think it is based on to by an Administrator.
Here is what it says,
“For users without a custom avatar of their own, you can either display a generic logo or a generated one based on their e-mail address.”
So,I think- if administrator gives right to the users for generating one bsed on their e-mail address they you can see your picture besides the comment.
I do not know if it helps…
Dear Paul, Or,(Paul from Austria)
Thank you very much, appreciated !
