In many if my books I talk about symbols as I also do in this blog. But we are one step away of becoming paranoiac about the signs interpreting absolutely everything we stumble upon. So readers often ask me what is a sign and what isn’t. And I say that I cannot answer since my signs are not other peoples signs. It is an individual alphabet to talk to God.
So, instead of explaining the signs, I normally try to share my signs. So why don’t you try to share your signs?
I’m not saying it is an universal language that your signs can be imposed to others but you can give us examples of signs when these changed your life.

Hello Luce
I’m sorry about your friend.I do think he was him still around.

Dear/est Paul from Austria, the thought of someone dying and not be able to communicate has passed from my mind many times…
This happened to me with my loving, piano Professor in Vienna, Dieter Weber. I had left the piano and Vienna and returned home. Every Christmas I used to send a card.. One day I thought: I am not going to send ‘he is not there any more’!! In a few months I heard from a friend Cypriot pianist that yes, he was not there anymore.. He had died at the age of his early forties from a heart attack, sad and alone. At the moment, he was dying, I had intuitively decided to start my piano again here in Cyprus and get my teacher’s diploma, although I was married, 26 year’s old and with a five year’s old daughter. That ‘synchronicity’ I found later….
Destiny has different experiences for each one of us. The Divine plan. For us maybe seem inexplicable but from …above, The Clouds, we are able to Know. It is called the lesson of LOVE: EROS, FILIA, AGAPE, the three in one.
LOVE,
Thelma.
É complicado falar em sinais, pois o que pode ser interpretado como sinal para alguns, pode não significar nada para outros. Creio que o que vai determinar se é realmente um sinal ou não, é a intuição de quem recebe. Mas mesmo usando a intuição, às vezes podemos nos enganar. Com isto, correndo o risco de entrar em pequeno grau de paranóia, pois quaisquer acontecimentos fora do normal, poderemos interpretar como sinais. Acredito que com o passar do tempo, passando por várias experiências, poderemos aprender a filtrar o verdadeiro do falso.
Normalmente associamos certos acontecimentos como sinais, quando esses fatos são fora do comum, ou pelo menos chamam as nossas atenções de uma forma diferente.
Acredito que as maiorias das pessoas, já presenciaram fatos, tiveram sonhos ou viram imagens que fogem do comum. Nestes casos, creio que a possibilidades de serem sinais, é muito grande. Agora, tentar interpretar os significados desses sinais, e mais complicado ainda.
Na minha vida, já tive algumas experiências de visões (reais), de coisas não muitas comuns, e até hoje, ainda estou tentando entender o seu significado.
when to be diligent in your quest and when to read the signs as preventions to ensure prevention of hart ache. any ideas? (added by Mobile using Mippin)
Hello Everbody!
For me everthing can be a sign! I think God send signs to everbody to any time. Some recognize them, some not! But maybe they shouldn’t!
When i hear signs, then it remembers me of day of Judgment.
The prophets told us about some of the signs and many of them are fulfilled.
But, don’t get panic :-) Just stay strong in your faith and praise the Lord. Everthing comes as God will.
Hope for everbody to find your peace and note, there is just one God.
Everthing comes from Him, so let’s be thankful.
I was using the picture of the Loretto staircase a bit before finding your blog and I swear I didn’t know a thing about you celebrating St John’s day,in fact I didn’t know nothing about you apart from “The Alchimist”.It’s just something I recall.
On november 19th 2008,I wrote a poem called John.
I’ve always liked that name,the male character of my book is called like that too.
JOHN (19/11/08)
We are coming from the same dream,John.
We know the things that have been hidden.
The things left unknown.
We understand the stars and chase in the garden.
We are walking towards the light of life,John.
Soon,we’ll cross the line quiet as the sound of the wind in the grass,
We’ll be dancing like dolls made of crystal glass.
Soon,we’ll be burning for good the book of our shadows,
And start walking to disappear inside the rainbows.
We shall not suffer from the past anymore,
We shall not look back but seal to another shore.
A lighthouse is not a place to wish upon the stars,
It will hurt and bleed if you hold on to the past.
We are coming from the same root,John.
We have been left behind on the highway too many times.
But we have found our way back and wrote many lines,
And now we know,this is leading us home,John.
Finally home…we are John.
Other following stuff since always…
22:22 again maybe someone will explain to me one of these days
I had a real bad day but the evening is much lighter I guess Eaiel walked by once again..
Love

Yesterday white feather sailed on morning breeze and al at once it went down in the field…I remained to watch if it will fly again but it did not.
This morning white butterfly touched the windshild of the car and flew away.
What a strange sign, I thought, why it did not die, how could it fly away ?
This afternoon I received message from Italy, my friend Antonio ( GnoGno ) died this morning………Una persona bravissima, generosa, umile, ottimista, tropo giovane, tropo brava. Ciao GnoGno !
Love

Pandora,
Thanks for citation of Pluto’s Anima Mundi.

Last week I came across the phrase below three times on the same day:
“Go back the way you came” (1 Kings 19:15)
One of the times they were spoken in a different way and in a different context but they meant the same thing to me.
They were very relevant to me on the day I heard these words and so it was a sign for me. Its about going back and facing my past to free myself.
Thank you Paulo for this space.
Love

There have been so many signs and symbols during my life – here are a few: Pushing the stroller with my little boy down the road towards the railway station one september day i 1981. I was on my way to travel around the world to become a student, and be gone for 5 years. Suddenly I turned to the left, and saw a number of four-leafed clovers on the roadside: These are supposed to bring good luck. It is amazing that I saw them, because they are rare, these were small, and I’m near-sighted.
Many of the signs and symbols have been of religious character – some Christian – others have connection to nature and natives of Norway and United States.
Encounters with birds and animals have been extraordinary. One incident was very special, and happened in the US. I had spent an hour on top of Kebler’s Pass in Colorado, where I experienced a strong sense of presence – but I didn’t see anything. As I was driving down from the mountain, a wolf suddenly jumped up from the roadside and crossed the road a few meters ahead of my car. I stopped very abruptly, and jumped out of the car getting ready to follow the wolf. At the same time a huge owl crossed the wolf’s path, and I turned to follow the owl. I didn’t know which one to follow, so I stopped and thought – this has something to do with the rest of my life.
Other strong animal encounters have been with polar bear, mountain lion, lion, reindeer, viper and many others. On some special occasions I have had experiences with birds: eagles, swans, and maybe most important: the ringdove / wood pidgeon. The last bird is not tame, but it has followed after me on several occasions. Once, when I came out of the Nidaros Cathedral I found a big nice tail feather from a dove. I thought to myself – “Paulo Coelho starts writing a new book when he finds a white feather…” :-)
These encounters with birds and animals have on some occasions carried a very strong symbolism because of the context in which they have taken place.
Also I have experienced signs on the sky that I will never forget. Dreams and a vision have also been important. But that is something that I will save for another occasion…
Dearest Paul,
may your journey be rich.
Love and blessings,
Anca
Dear/est Paul from… [ stil in Austria!] Thank you for the ‘Fawlty Towers’ I will watch it later in the afternoon. I used to watch these episodes and always made jokes about our …’Elena Beach Hotel’[the .. late one;].
Since you know so well and ‘in action’ “Who Dares Wins” I am going to add to it now : “Luck hehlps the Daring”! Glúck???
LOVE,
Thelma
Vielen Gluck on your journey. (can’t give you too much more German than that). Those sort of decisions are not generally easy to make, so the signs must have been pretty sound. Enjoy the journey – every single step.
Lieber Paul,
natuerlich werde ich Dich in meinen Gedanken begleiten….
Dieser “Sternenweg” hat keine erdliche Begrenzung und jeder von uns hat seinen Weg zu entfalten …obwohl ich schon oft daran gedacht habe den Jakobs Pilgerweg irgendwann mit meinen Fuessen und nicht nur mit Gedanken zu gehen…muss ich wohl noch etwas Geduld ueben – wenn es in dem “Lebensbuch” geschrieben ist wird es wohl auch passieren…..
With loving kindness,
Satora
PS und es ist “liebe S.”
Dear/est Paul from Austria, I did not want to take away from you the ..happiness [;]] of your decisions here in the Blog. I was trying to read the … Signs in the Map that waw given to me 40 years ago!! [What a coincidence, you also speak of .. 40 years!!]
Since you have said above : ‘Nothing ventured nothing gained’, I answer to you : “WHO DARES WINS” = ” Ο τολμών νικά”,
[again the.. Greeks !!]
LOVE,
Thelma.
Dear/est Paul from Austria, your answer is again so vague! A riddle!
I just wanted to know the meaning of ‘Glúcklich’. Of course to be lucky means for me ‘material’ and ‘happy’ is a soul’s feeling! So ‘happines’ is a more precious gift from … Destiny than ‘Luck’. Don’t you agree? Or I will have to find out till the … end of my life!! ;]
LOVE,
Thelma
To be abel to see & understand the true meaning of the signs I get
– it`s important to be in contact with my heart & soul.
My signs come both through everday-life-happenings and some few mystical ones.
But that`s not really of importance, as long as it help, confirm & encourage me
on my way*
When a friend was troubled I looked after them by doing things to cheer them up like giving gifts, cards, music and just being there to listen until that time passed and they were strong enough to get on with their life.
Now I am troubled someone has come into my life and is doing the exact same for me. I would ordinarily not accept cards and gifts, open my world and give my trust to someone I have known for such a short amount time. One of the cards has my favourite flower on it and a cd has my favourite song on it, he had no way of knowing these things only by intiuition.
It is a sign for me to accept the hand that is reaching out and to know he will be there until I am stronger and this time has passed.
Paul,
I pray for you and admire your courage. May the blessings of God be with you on the journey and just a gentle reminder on what Paulo quoted a few days ago :
“In our obsessive wish to arrive, we often forget the most important thing, which is the journey.”
(The Pilgrimage)
God Bless!
LOL Paul…. But that’s what’s so exciting…
but if you have faith, as I’m sure you do, your angels will Always warn and protect you!
Ok, if you fall, you can beat me up when you get back LOL ;)
Have fun!
xxoo

Paul from Austria, exciting news I am glad you shared this on the blog because we will wonder what happened to you. Enjoy your travels!!. I have also heard the tarot card with the Fool walking towards the edge of a cliff is taking a leap of faith.
Pandora, very interesting; Anima Mundi… Well everything is all made of atoms, the only thing that differs are the electrons!
Through out my life (I’m 53 now) I have received many signs. Usually warnings, sometimes more directly like when an angel caused me to make a sudden unplanned change.
Briefly, when my marriage was at the beginning of it’s collapse my wife would sometimes stand and stare out the kitchen window. I’d ask what is it and she’d respond; hmm? as if not realizing what she had just been doing. Later, on reflection I realized I was witnessing a departure, several years before it actually took place. I didn’t act on it but I knew that I should have, it seemed too overwhelming at the time.
Once when my wife and I were traveling on a long drive home, a white car sped past and within minutes we came upon a roadside cafe. Decided to stop, although we were in a hurry home to the children who were being looked after at our home, still we stopped over for almost half an hour.
Continuing our journey, we shortly came across a road traffic accident where we saw the bits and pieces of a white car strewn along the motor-way where a truck was parked askew on the shoulder. We realized immediately that we had just missed being involved in the same incident by our sudden unplanned stop-over and we knew then why we suddenly made that choice.
Neither premonitions nor coincidences may fully explain these kind of happenings, one has to accept the reality of others around us from the spiritual plain. I like to think that what the scientists refer to as dark matter is in fact this spiritual plain. Invisible but tangible none the less.
Lieber Paul,
mag der “Sternenweg” Dir immer den Weg weisen und Dir die Kraft and den Glauben geben das Ziel, das du Dir gesetzt hast, zu erreichen.
With loving kindness,
Satora
Paul… WOW! That is So awesome!
It will be an unforgettable experience, no doubt.
I am soooooooo happy for you, what an adventure!
I am also feeling like going on a journey, to an unknown land, to discover and see and be, experience, learn and live…
It must be the month of fools! Tarot: “With all his worldly possessions in one small pack, the Fool travels he knows not where. So filled with visions and daydreams is he, that he doesn’t see the cliff he is likely to fall over. ”
Have a Great journey! I am sure you will be in our thoughts!
love,
C.
Dont know if its sign,but,usually I think Thursday is a good day.Thats because is the day linked to the planet Jupiter, a planet that is consider to rule over my sign.Is something true, because usually things turn out well in that day of the week.
What a courage,dear Paul.Have a wonderful journey,and find the thing you are searching for.But,at the end,share your experience with us,please.Take care
Meiner Leiber Paul!!, it seems that this Blog will be soon a German speaking one!! ;]
When I had my palm read many years ago, the man had .. prophesied me : ‘..und dann du wirst sehr Glúcklich sein’.
I have always wondered what ‘Glúcklich’ was! Lucky or Happy??? The dictionary gives both explanations. Dankeschón.
LOVE,
Thelma
Quite quite true, Antara – that coincidences as those you described, can be so insightful and like a sign.
Paul – happy happy travels!!!!
Jeremy – do you have many iphone pictures of heart-shaped leaves then?? !
They became a symbol, no sorry, a sign of promise of good health for me and depending on where, when i see a heart shaped leaf, i am able to know where i am along the road of healing…. it all began with a picture; but also i don’t know the ending yet – only that all will be fine… so i can wait and take my time in the meanwhile ;o)
Non credo di essere all’altezza di affrontare questo discorso , c’è chi sicuramente ha molta più esperienza di me in proprosito, ma voglio lasciare una piccola traccia del mio passaggio , voglio lasciare qualche pensiero , una specie di sfogo .
Ho quasi vent’anni . Studio Architettura a Roma . Premetto che mi sono allontanata dal mondo della chiesa per la non condivisione di molte cose , ma credo che un cammino spirituale può risollevarti l’anima cosa che io ancora non sono riuscita ad intraprendere .. Adoro viaggiare e anche se non ho legame cn la chiesa , ogni volta che vado a visitare qualche santuario o monastero , ho una sensazione di sacralità e di benessere attorno e dentro . Lourdes , Santiago , La sagrada familia ,molti monasteri ortodossi.
Credo in qualcosa, ma no so in cosa . Ho bisogno di chiarezza.
Non riesco a sentirmi al pari con gli altri , no so se potrei essere un passo avanti o un passo indietro . So solo che mi sento diversa, pur non accettandolo . Parlando dei segni , beh posso azzardare che qualche segno l’ho avuto anche io …magari sono coincidenze …non saprei, ma se ci penso mi si accappona la pelle .
Uno dei tanti segni che ho avuto è stato quello di troppe coincidenze prima di un incidente stradale avvenuto 2 anni fa in moto . Sensazioni che hanno fatto si che io prendessi un casco integrale anzicchè la semplice teglia, che alla fine mi ha salvato la vita . Poi il sogno fatto dalla fisioterapista . Il volare per diversi metri e riportare solo qualche piccola frattura .
Sono un tipo che riflette molto sulle cose , sto nel mio mondo che mi sono creata apparendo addormentata e scema .
“Un’altra coincidenza ” è stata un giorno di fine ottobre , quando per curiosità ho letto i primi capitoli di Brida . La stessa sera , Ho conosciuto un signore ,amico di una mia amica , che onestamente non ho capito cosa faccia , mi ha detto ” Qui ci sono tantissimi boschi , hai bisogno di sfogarti , hai bisogno di gridare tutto cio’ che hai dentro e liberartene ” . Già ero andata in fissa per la “notte nel bosco “… I tarocchi , che lui sapeva leggere , no so è stato tutto come rivivere determinate cose . Sono rimasta agitata tutto il girno ricordo .
Altri piccoli segni che a volte mi piomabo addosso possono essere quei messaggio che sento nell’aria … che possono essere dati da una canzone che sento prendendo la metro , da una frase in un libro fatta appositamente per quel secondo , per chi riesce a sentirmi a distanza e mi chiama dicendomi le cose di cui ho bisogno , senza che io dica niente .
Mamma continua a dirmi : Io so che c’è qualcuno che ci protegge , lo sento . Non siamo mai sole . La provvidenza farà il suo corso , tranquilla .
Un bacio
Taya
non capisco perchè , ma non carica il mio commento …
Good Morning, this is my first time on your blog Paulo, after reading an article in a mag last week. ***
Our programming has a lot to answer for, i am just glad that i spotted the ‘sign’ in the bookshop, in my village, asking for staff, just when i had needed it and got the job. up until that point i had not been much of a reader! since i have worked here i have been slowly working my way through the books (signs) that show themselves to me. I don’t pick them out, they are usually customers orders which stand out to me like a sore thumb or ones that people i really like buy. The Alchemist, which has been one of those orders, sits to my right along with the rest of them and so far have read three of your books, between lots of other titles.
i know that over the years i have missed many signs, but now believe i won’t miss any! whether or how i choose to deal with it is another matter and that is where my problem lies! i am so stuck!
BUT! I am learning to be that ‘Warrior of Light’ and know that at the end of the downs there will be the ups!! The proportion of ups to downs is getting much better!!
So for everyone joining in on the blog, it really is the better it gets the better it gets, Please keep that smile going! nothing is really a problem, actually i suppose that should read ‘nothing, really IS the problem’! if i had nothing then i really would be stuck wouldn’t I!! P.S. there was a sign that led me to do this too!!***
Please forgive my writings if they don’t quite make sense, i have not been at this very long!!! ;0) xx Jo

Dear Paul,
I wish you an unforgettable journey… that will just the starting point of this precious step in your life.
I am sure many people will pray for you and for your journey… and for sure I will be one of them.
I wish all the joy and all the learning.

paul paul ,
I’m going to Lourdes next week without doubt (I am waiting confirmation of my “heart”) but thank you and “give” a kiss to Mary for me (near the fountain on the ground in the cave)
ich denke an dich und beten für den Erfolg dieses Weges
Hi Jeremy,
I can fully relate to your experience with “The Alchemist”. Off late I had been curious to watch a movie which I felt was in some way related to my life. But every time I wanted to bring a CD, I never found one. Once I got hold of a DVD, but by that time my computer was re formatted and the guy forgot to install the software where I could play it!!
Then one day, I was in a state of dilemma about an important matter of my life. As I reached home and switched on the TV casually, I caught a glimpse of a still from that movie which perfectly resembled my situation and gave me a conclusive clue. It also solved my dilemma. Its strange enough that I got to see only the still that day and not the entire movie; and haven’t been able to watch it yet :(
I guess, God wanted me to see that still only at that time.. perhaps the rest part will find me when I need it :)
Guess, that explains it…
Regards
Antara
Paul , Paul ,
God will guide you in your path
i ‘ll pray for you and pray too , for all
(I know the suffering of the past, we must abandon this path to the Life ….) hope . carpe diem
I think that in general the universe sends me much more signs then I really notice. And when I eventually notice the sign and follow it, I usually learn something important to me. Like yesterday I got this invitation for this event that was happening in the afternoon. I was invited to it few times before and for some reason I dismissed it. But in the morning I was reflecting on how recently I got into a little bit of boring routine and then I opened my email and here the invitation came again. So I thought I should go there, it is a sign. So I went and even though the event in itself wasn’t very interesting I had great time. My husband later said to me that I really lighten up. He said your inner fire lightens up when you are with people. And in the moment I had this lovely realization that even though I enjoy sometimes being on my own, what I enjoy the most is being with others. And that I do really need others for my happiness. So it was really nice and I felt that I did get important message.
To the Webmaster:
would you please my post in this discussion on March 31st, 10:48 p.m.?
It’s very important.
Thank you.

war is a big ole sign – that we remain to live in a civilised society ;o/
I moved to Los Angeles CA not too long. Since being here I have seen numbers and symbols that have been amazing.
It started when I was running up a mountain one morning. I was upset about events that have happened in my life. I was thinking about relatives that have passed and as I looked to the sky I saw the clouds form a heart. I took a photo with my iPhone. Since then I’ve been seeing hearts everywhere I go. Some are just water on the pavement that for some reason formed a heart shape. A piece of cardboard or paper in that shape. I happens everyday and multiply times per day. I take pictures with my iPhone and I have a bunch of them.
I did not realize that others see symbols and I’m glad I’m not the only one.
I was told after moving here by various individuals that I remind them of the book The Alchemist. I kept happening everywhere I went so one day when a friend of mine pulled out the book and said the same as many had said I asked to borrow the book. I got to page 163 but had to return it. I tried looking for the book in book stores so I could finish the book but have yet found it. I feel the book will find me when I’m ready to read the rest? Is this unusual?
I had always wanted to meet with a local celebrity.Once I got the chance to meet with that celebrity but then at that time I cannot go due to some reasons.The event upset me very much and I cried and cried.Then,after several months,when I was sitting at my garden and some voice keep urging me to open my letter box,the voice is so intense,so strong that I could not ignored.And some forces just keep pushing me towards my letter box,I just follow it,because it’s too hard to ignore.Guess what?when I opened my letter box,I saw a flyer stating that the celebrity is coming to my town for being the guest at some opening ceremony.I was so touched!At that day,I managed to meet with the celebrity,I even talked to the celebrity!This is one of the signs that I received.I was completely speechless,because specch alone cannot express how I feel.I tried to talk to some friends but they just seems indifferent and think nothing really so special about it.I know somehow the universe send the signal as Mr. Coelho wrote in “The Pilgrimage” that there is no such thing as coincidence in this world.I am so grateful to the whole universe around me.They always manifest themselves in their own very unique way.
For me, signs are my higher power’s way of communicating with me. The world is full of so many things, and what may be a sign for me may not be a sign for you. My signs appear in almost any form: dreams, animals and birds, etc., all brought to me in a manner that I recognize as a direct form of communication. It is always up to me to see my own signs and to recognize them as such, just like it is up to me to trust in the communication and to interpret the message. Which is not to say that I always interpret or translate the signs correctly 100% of the time.
Sometimes, even wishful thinking can set off a series of signs that show up to support these thoughts, sort of to show that you’re being paid attention to. These, I don’t interpret as signs. They are just the universe’s way of saying, “I am listening to you.” It is a constant reassurance of that connection I have to that higher power.
One of the things I have come to know about signs is that you have to be willing and open to receiving your “answers” and to know that sometimes they don’t come immediately. Human time is not always on the same clock as divine time so I know that if I truly need a sign or an answer, I know that it will come to me in a time that is best for me…and that I may have to wait for its arrival. Sometimes the wait is short, other times it’s long.
Three nights ago, I was feeling lost and needed an answer. I went outside into my yard at 4 a.m., in the dark and looked up into the sky, asked my question and waited. And waited. And waited. About 4:30 a.m. I was still there, waiting to be spoken to, wondering if I should go back in the house, and all of a sudden, across the field where there is a creek, I heard a goose crying out. As I continued standng there, I heard it take off from the creek, honking the entire time as it gained altitude in the sky, circled around and then flew over my head, crying and honking the entire time until it was far away. I was given my answer…but not only that, I also found an entirely different answer to a question I hadn’t asked aloud. It was a moment where I actually had an epiphany.
Now, if I hadn’t asked directly for an answer to a question, then the odd appearance at 4:30 a.m. of a goose taking off from the creek would only have been registered in my mind as exactly that…”Hmmmm, that’s odd…geese don’t usually take off at this time of the day…” But, I specifically asked for an answer, and lucky me! I was given two. :-)
Anyway, that’s just one small example of signs in my life.
i witnessed a sign in a place sacred to me, a place where no one goes. how do i know no one goes there? if you have ever been to a place where no one goes, you will know it by the human-less print left there. in those places we have left.. or have not found. this place I speak of is sacred to me because when I came there I was welcomed, and as a good guest i tried to leave no sign of my passing and gave it no name. usually animals and birds sense human intrusion because they know the signs left by past human prints, but in this place there were no human prints.. only claws, huffs and paws, so I went undetected. and because I found this place, and found the prints of the animals and the birds, they showed their bodies to me. and all at once, out from a hollow of a tree (who’s name i don’t know), was a grey owl, at its base was a red fox, far above the top branch hovered a lone crow, and in the clearing a white tailed deer. they did not flee me because I had not left my print.. so i stood on reeds that bend and break not, and waited eternally but immediately, weary from from tiptoeing on the reeds, they saw that i was man when i put my boot down in the mud. and all at once the owl screeched, and the fox yipped, and the crow crowed and the deer rutted and I don’t know what my chest said. we all went out into the world unloading our lungs because we knew of each other’s print. sometimes we return to the place where no one goes, and for a while, while we are there, it is no longer a place where no one goes. we return not to see each other, or to see if it is changed, because it is always changed. We return only to see the place where the other has gone, in honor of our meeting.
Una llamada.
Fue hace bastante tiempo y en ese entonces me encontraba muy deprimida.
Y le pedia a mi angel una señal de que las cosas cambiarian.
Y la llamada de una amiga cambio mi vida.
En verdad creo que esa llamada fue una señal de que las cosas mejorarian.
Saludos G.C.D.C.
Generally,the “signs” come to me through dreams.

Don’t just look for signs out there.
Resonance produces clarity.
Clarity provides direction.
Direction brings realization.
Realization radiates greatness of purpose.

Imagine there were a bad bird desease that eliminates all white birds. You cannot find a white feather anymore. Would you give up writing books then? I hope you would not.
What I want to say is that it can be dangerous to be dependent on signs. In my opinion one should not ignore signs and be aware of them, but common sense as well intuition should always be in tune with your personal signs.
I once received a sign in which I believe from the bottom of my heart and soul. It meant to me that I will survive and get old against bad medical prognosis. So in this case there is no doubt at all – I have to believe in it like in everything that makes me strong in my fight.
Maye the white birds never die out!

One incredible sign in my life, came at a very difficult time [as they often do], back in January/February of 2005. My father was extremely ill, and at that time had been hospitalized for almost 3 months, and had been given “Last Rights” twice. I was outside of my parents home out on Long Island, NY, and suddenly I looked up and saw what I could only assume were the Northern Lights; this phenomena only happens MUCH farther north, and I had never seen them before at this latitude. I took this as a sign that my father was going to be alright.
The other major turning point that coincided with a sign, was when I accepted the fact that I was gay. I was contemplating what the repercussions would be IF I was to “come out”. At the same time, the sun was setting, and for a good 10 min, I watched as there were two suns setting in the West [this was due to a building that was angled so perfectly, that it caused the setting sun to reflect it's image]. I took it as a sign that it was the “dawning of a new day”; the irony there being that it was twilight.
I always see signs, and many of my instincts are based off the subtle clues that the world gives me; I look at it as if the universe [and all it's components- e.g. God] suddenly draws your focus, and gives you a gentle reminder that “Hey… I’m still here; remember me? Don’t worry, just trust.”
