Watched Pride and Prejudice bbc production again to regenerat my spiritual tastebuds. And there is more spirituality and romance about life in every scene than in the whole of Winner Takes All?
Can anyone out there put me back on the road.
I dont expect Paulo to have the time to redirect me, but surely one of the membership should take pity-or will everyone simply pass on the other side of the road?
Awaiting a response.
Humbly
Ross Martin

Help!
Paulo am struggling with Winner Takes All. What mindset do I need to understand to appreciate this tale?
Is there a twist in the tail or some message a lesson of life-but I’m almost finished and havnt yet struck gold
What mut I do?

Help!
Paulo-am finding Winner Takes All difficult-as though I am wading through a field of mud. Where have I gone wrong? Did I take the wrong road? Perhaps its the setting-Cannes-its so unreal -except perhaps for those that are domiciled there.I have registered the characters-but I cant visualise their torment-except poor Olivia and her innocence.
Hassan seems unreal.Ewa too-even Igor seems merely a nuisance rather than the Satanic sadist that he’s meant to be.
Perhaps my expectations were somehow distorted so that I’m blind to the message? What thoughts and images must I conjure to climb aboard
the lifeboat and appreciate. Am I to be thrilled ,to enjoy a twist in the tail,or is there no hope for me and I must merely wallow in cofusion?

I stood in a long line for gelato in the Piazza San Marco, and kept my eyes on the server, a Botticelli babe. http://tinyurl.com/cvyd8q

Dear Heart,
My father once found some old photos and letters, several boxes full, along with some other interesting items (an invitation to John F. Kennedy’s inauguration ball, and some other letters from him) in the drawers of some desks that he had purchased from an attorney who had retired several years earlier. By the time my dad found the materials inside the desks which went unused for some time, the attorney had passed away. By looking closely at it, we deduced that all of this memorabilia had once belonged to two sisters who had, back in the early 1900′s, owned and operated a boarding house in a small town nearby, across the street from the county courthouse. That boarding house had eventually been this attorney’s office, and when he retired, it was abandoned. Finally, the building was deemed to be of historical value, saved from demolition and purchased by someone who opened a restaurant there, which, of course, catered to many local attorneys and courtroom officials. We took a few select items out of the collection and donated them to the owners of the restaurant – the items detailing the history of the building itself. They put these on public display for the enjoyment of all. The rest, we donated to the county historical commission, which put them on display at the county courthouse.

So, what I would say to your question about what does it mean to find a sword once used by a secret society is that you (or rather your husband) has a responsibility to see that this item goes back to where it belongs – perhaps back into the hands of someone to whom it is truly meaningful and who will, I’m sure, be ever so grateful for his efforts at returning it. I don’t know where that “rightful place” would be, but perhaps, through research, you can locate it: maybe there is a museum, or maybe some remnants of this society yet remain. Maybe that sword wants to be taken back, and maybe that is why he found it.

And to you, sido66, thank you for the kind words!

Much Love,
Savita

Here is poem about when I was on the road somewhere in North Afica deep-in-sightseeing

Revisited

Then I was back vanishing inside me
into that balloon of loneliness
reflecting a citadel of solitude
an ebony castle of remoteness
As if that morning
that road
conspired against the desire to belong
Thus a man threw a Pepsi can from his car window
the radio ad begged audience for a spare cornea
the lake’s foul breath saffocted the humming bird

Chopin’s nocturne played by Cyprien Katsaris.
I am going to his concert in two hours!
Cyprien is playing at Larnaca. Do you know how much is a ticket for his concert tonight?? Just 8 Euros! It is a Cultural event.
It was worth travelling to Cyprus just to attend his concert!
Have a nice evening.
LOVE,
Thelma.

What does it mean to find a sword which used to belong to a member of a secret society?

When my husband was 12-13 years old, they had just moved into a new house in Indiana, USA. He and his brother was playing in a kind of a half basement, where they climbed over a concrete wall, and ended up on an area just covered with dirt ground. There, beside the wall was something covered in rags. My husband picked it up and discovered a Silver plated sword with an ivory decorated handle. Engraved on it are the letters KGE, which stands for Knghts of the Golden Eagle. When he was young my husband used to keep it in the back of his various cars, because as he says; ‘it was a nice conversation piece’. Here is more about this secret society for anybody interested.

Un commentaire interessant-
“L’hemisphere droit est devolu a l’intuition c’est le cerveau de la forme. Il semblerait que la nuit, l’hemisphere droit conseiller inconscient par l’entremise des reves donne son avis a l’hemisphere gauche, realisateur conscient.
Un peintre, un musicien, un inventeur ou un romancier ne seraient que cela : des recepteurs radio capable d’aller avec leur cerveau droit priser dans l’inconscient collectif puis de laisser communiquer l’hemisphere droit et gauche suffisamment, librement pour qu’ils parviennent a mettre en oeuvre des concepts qui trainent dans la noosphere a la disposition de tous.” B. Weber

PS – noosphere = the sphere of human thought
Je viens de le regarder sur internet – je ne savais pas ce que c’etait :)

Hello,wanted to share this with you today.This what i wrote now on my blog and what music inspires me

“Light And Shadow” By Vangelis that you can listen on the blog too.

“Yesterday night while I was doing my Theme Thurday post and when I put “La petite fille de la mer” by Vangelis as the music in the background,I have listened to some of Vangelis Music.I used to listen a lot when I was a teenager and I still love it.It was a long time and I stopped on one soundtrack called:”Light And Shadow” and all memories came back to me.It’s from the movie “1492″.Wow,despite the sad history of conquistadors and all the bad they have done,I just want to talk about that movie.Magnificent and Gerard Depardieu is sublime playing Christopher Columbus.Such a long time I haven’t seen it.And what about the music?Just perfect.

It came to my mind,listening to it,that we humans are capable to do so much harm,so many awful things to each other,to other forms of living and to ourselves.We are capable of destruction and chaos.We all know it.This is the Shadow part.

But,on the other hand,the Light part is just wow!To me it is doing something that your heart is really longing for and not what people who like you to do.Art to me is one of the best thing to express all the beauty and love and light that exist in the whole universe and ourselves.
I can’t imagine a word without music for example.I think Vangelis like many others have composed this with all his heart and soul.You can feel it beat by beat,note after note.It is eternal.
I don’t want to use the word “God” by respect of the ones who don’t believe but i’d rather use the word “Love” because this is just,this feels right.No matter what you do,no matter what you believe,when you do something with all your heart,you can’t go wrong.When you feel it in your soul and your bones,it can never go wrong.

You know,money doesn’t definite who you are,it’s the amount of love that does.So to all the artists in this world,don’t you stop being who you are,doing what you do best,what you like to do,just because it isn’t rewarding financially speaking.It doesn’t matter.Here i am talking about the real artists,not the ones who just want to be on tv,to be famous,have the good life and most of the time don’t have a zest of talent.Being an artist doesn’t mean having the bank account full of money or your name everywhere,being an artist is who you are inside.You don’t chose,it choses you.You were born to be.I think just like i did,some of you have encountered so many artists in the streets out there.How many times did we stop to listen to some beautiful voices singing on the streets?How many times did we stop to look at the arstist painting on the streets?They might be considered as marginal because they don’t follow the rules,what society wants them to be,but they know who they are.They don’t need to wear masks and they don’t care about those stupid rules,they are free at least.No trapped into a living lie.Now I know living in this world is really difficult for everyone.Nothing is stable,we have seen it.

I admire all the artists,who strike in their life to bring food on the table and a roof over their head and still manage to let all their passion out somehow.We all do it somehow.We still have an hour to spare or few minutes to do it,I’m sure.To not forget who we are and what we are made of in this giant rat race.I think we all know by now that the only constance in life is that there’s no such thing as constance.Everything moves and change.Things collapse,yes they do.You’ve seen it all.But our love,never.How you love your woman,man,kids,friends,pets ect..and the amount of love you put into what you create,this is it.Don’t search for more.There are things that money cannot buy.There are things that they won’t buy from us.They can have our bodies but they will never have our souls and this is why they want us brainswashed and killed and paralysed by fear.Fear feeding fear.Anger feeding anger.They want the new people.People that they will have made to be perfect and work for them,making money and not to stop to think by themselves or feel.In one word:Robots.Yeah but it won’t happen.They can’t kill love.They just can’t.”

Have a nice day everyone!

Savita, Savita,

nice story

yerterday The poetry, and today the poetry of your heart.
Thank you

Birds seem to guide you (ibis, nightingale entering at home etc.)

I too on the road of Santiago de Compostela, birds were my guides.

And on the return, a mystic meeting: an eagle with human eyes, the 27th december 2009 (A friend said to me that the apostle Saint jeans was one of alive 4 and that its representation was the eagle (on the road, the words of the eagle resounded in me: “Read Holy Jean, Saint Jean in the Bible “) .Une EXTRAORDINARY meeting, as of numerous for 5 months (angels, guardien angel, message of God…Mary )”
And I think that it is necessary to testify, to write; yes write leash a track; and your ease to be written is beautiful, the reading is very pleasant, and you have to testify a lot.
All my love, and my encouragements, and my prayers

By love and by His love
Sido
