The moment we set off in search of love, it sets off in search of us. And saves us.

I agree with Paul – perfect timing Paulo!
Today I went in search of a fabulous young man from Toronto whom I met in Sydney… so let's wait and see if I too can finish our incomplete conversation!!!

Love is already inside us. It’s a part of us, so what we are asked is to realize this. Search and you’ll find.
Have a nice day
So,we are all here in search of the eternal flame of love.The signs will lead us to the right way.At times,feel alone…All life events is worthwhile,to let me finally meet the right one,or the other half of me that will complete me as a whole human.I am still waiting,still searching..

Dear Paulo,
It is good to see that there are so many men joining this blog Paulo that are waking-up to the feminine side of it. This blog is more “balanced” now.
I guess a better understanding by men on how women think certainly is going to benefit us women in the sense that we won’t have to work so hard at explaining about the “intuition” side. It will automatically happen.No more sexist labels like “she is playing hard to get..” etc.
Women might say “Oh! He is playing hard to get.”too – works both ways, remember?
We are moving in the right direction. All that is required from men is some understanding and love and the rest will come automatically ..with a little help from my friend.
Awaken the intuition in you and we ll get along just fine. Trust me.
You rock PC. Despite..
Love
As prophet Jesus said: “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.”

He conocido en París a Paul from Austria y Thelma, ya antes me había fijado en sus escritos y adivinaba que eran unas personas fabulosas. Hoy ya puedo decir que he encontrado a dos Almas lindas y que aquí las estaré esperando, al final del Camino.
Un beso para todos y con este acercamiento se hace más vivo en contacto de Internet que hace que no seamos personas desconocidas. A partir de ahora seguiré con mayor entusiasmo todos los escritos.
Alexandra you too always write nice and sensitive thoughts. Thank you.
LOVE,
Thelma
Thelma,nice thoughts.You good hearted sensitive woman.Take care
Dearest Annie, you know that you have a special place in my heart. My third, musical daughter!;]
Paul from Austria with his kindness and beautiful soul, Paulo Coelho and all .. brothers and sisters Warriors of the Light, too.
LOVE,
Thelma.
Buscar o amor… descobri que não é necessario buscar o amor, mesmo sem encontra-lo em alguem, ele esta aqui, existe dentro do meu ser, a cada dia, fortemente… Melhor se eu tivesse uma pessoa que sentisse a mesma sintonia que eu… mas mesmo não tendo, so de poder sentir este sentimento eu ja tenho muito àgradecer a Deus!! O amor esta em tudo!!!!
Amor,
Cassia
it`s so true
but it asks a lot from us
everything will be turned around, everything we believed and heared what love should be or a lover should do and leave
it has it`s very own rules
and only who can accept and follow this path
can really experience it
I don’t have the guts to do this..or belief ‘to take the risk..’ yet-it is a wonderful aspiration and inspirational for me.
I am lucky to be loved and share love with my wonderful grown up children.
Magnetism of love* and the law of attraction.
I love that book!
“The moment we set off in search of love,it sets off in search of us.And saves us.”(By the River Piedra I sat down and Wept) with the kiss,which brings back to life after a lonely dream -to DREAMWORLD of two from that moment.
Thelma that is so beautiful!
It brought tears to my eyes!
xxoo
The other week I was facing the other half of my heart over the coffee table… and one of the things I could not say to him is that I am ready, my heart is ready… for love.
But from the moment of that thought, even though we parted again, the most amazing things keep happening… I feel love finding me in such unusual ways… life is magical!!!+!
(I guess it does save us, in the most unexpected ways)
I always thought love finds you when you aren’t searching for it….until I went to Paris in search of love, and found it :)
xo.

I feel blessed, from the moment I was born I felt LOVE around me. My wonderful parents and sister [she is 2.5 older than me], my grand-parents the big,big Greek family… Then at school my teachers and piano teacher I always felt their love. Maybe I was receiving back what I .. felt! Love, tenderness, respect, warmth.. Then I went at the age of 16 to study away from my home. I was so vulnerable… I still have friends from that era, in Athens, Thessaloniki, Vienna, London.. They are my precious, loving friends. My husband, my two daughters, my grandchildren.. So much love around. Paulo Coelho’s Blog and here we are connected with LOVE. So much love I want to cry and cry and clean every bitterness and sadness from every Soul on Earth. Nothing else matters, believe me, no money, no positions… Just to Love and be Loved with an unending, pure, eternal love. Maybe I sound a romantic sixty years old lady, but our … souls stay young, passionate and .. free for ever.
LOVE,
Thelma
Last night I pulled three cards from my favorite Tarot deck, as to inquire: Who is this man? – What role might he play in my life? What sort of relationship exists between us, in potential…?
The first card that turned up was the one I call The Red Knight: in traditional Tarot terminology, the Knight of Wands. As this figure is defined in a popular book on Tarot interpretation, the Knight of Wands signifies: “A MOVE. A CHANGE OF HOME. JOURNEYS. The knight of Wands represents the spirit of adventure that takes us into the unknown. This card is often an impetus for change. When we are in tune with its message, we can move mountains. The Knight of Wands infuses us with a strong desire to experience life in all its dimensions. We do not want to be held back in any way. If the Knight of Wands appears as a person, he will be charming, fun, and full of energy. Choosing the Knight of Wands suggests that you are ready to make a significant move of some kind. You may be moving home or country, or simply filled with a desire for novelty. The Knight may represent someone who acts as a catalyst for these changes. You may have a strong impulse to do something creative or to learn more about philosophical or spiritual matters. Or you may simply feel adventurous and in the mood for fun. You have the desire to expand your life and feel more alive. The dynamic energy of the Knight of Wands will give you the impetus to do things that you would never have dared to try before.”
And so I look at this card and suddenly I am transported to to a hilltop on an otherwise open and grassy plain. Here I stand, alone, just at the moment when the skyline is bursting into flame at the promise of dawn. In the distance, to the East, a figure appears, which at first is but a speck upon the horizon, a specter in the offing of this sea of grass that stretches out to infinity in every direction. But then I notice that this speck is in motion,and the motion shows a perceptible and unmistakable direction – this figure, growing larger now, more real, more imminent, is moving directly toward me. And as it draws nearer still, as the sky grows lighter behind it, the outline of a distinguishable silhouette appears – it is a man, of rather a Knight, fully clad in armor, astride a mighty red horse. The two figures – man and beast, melded as one – sweep across the distance that stands between us, like a wildfire ushered by the wind. The horse is at a headlong gallop and the mounted figure is growing larger still, clearer – more real. He is clad in red from head to heal. Even the plume that adorns his helmet is a flaming red feather. In his right hand, held high, as though in battle-charge, is a stave of ornately carved wood, similarly painted red and trimmed in guilt gold. as he approaches, the sun, now having fully cleared the straight-line horizon behind him, sets him in a flaming silhouette of gold and red. This is no ordinary Knight, I realize – this is a Knight arisen from and striding straight out of some OtherWorld realm. And in that instant, just as he is about to sweep down upon me, I realize that I have but two choices. There is no cover anywhere to be found – not a tree, not a rock, not a wall – in sight. I can duck, I can run, I can seek to escape – but how? Or otherwise, I can stand firm, hold my ground, and wait for, even step forth and run toward the inevitable. As the thunder of heavy hooves fills my ears and my own heart leaps up to beat in unison, I fall forward to meet the arm that reaches out to sweep me up and carry me off toward unknown and never-before-dreamed horizons. And three figures, silhouetted by the rising sun, become one flame, racing like wildfire out across the plains to fearlessly meet and welcome the promise of tomorrow’s new adventures.
I agree with Paul – perfect timing Paulo!
