we all are afraid of death…..
its the other side of life.
One million causes keep us alive and on the otherhand one million causes try to kill us …. the one with more number decides whether we should live or die……………..

Thinking of my nephew Michael, who turns 7 years old today. It has me trying to remember back to my birthdays when I was younger, and which birthdays I remember. Surprisingly there’s a high correlation between the birthdays I remember with the times I received a “new” (sometimes “pre-owned”) bicycle. HAs me wondering what will be HIS membories… Love, Heather

hi, as all here, i’m feel sade about this crash plane,but i’m feel a little stupid also,i mean everyday there are people who get this difficult way of sorrow, i know this is also the mysterious side of love, of life,where we get anger,sufferings and courage,hope,and force ourselves to understand why those sufferings,because we still love,love can’t disappear,he’s still alive.

Little birds within a great one…As the great one falls into deep sea, the little birds fly away for freedom of the stars above…

My thoughts and prayers go to the family of the passengers and crew that were on board the AirFrance plane.

Yes, a prayer will be good. More relief for people if Air France plane did not go missing and passengers were contacted. Hope plane is found.

My friend Clem is currently walking the Camino, I am sure she wouldn’t mind me sharing this from her blog…

One of my favourite stories from the Camino is of The Free Green Bike. Rebekah, an Australian friend of ours, was running out of time to complete the Camino, so decided she would call upon the universe to manifest herself a bike. Specifically a green bike. Bec had talked about this for a few days, and walking through a small village saw a green bike outside this church. Approaching the old lady nearby, she enquired whose bike it was. The old lady thought she was trying to steal it and chased her down the street yelling at her. So much for Camino magic!

Despondent, Rebekah carried on walking with us when we stopped for coffee at a small bar (which we do a few times a day). There we got chatting to a german man, who told us he was giving up on cycling the Camino so he could get some experience of the walk we all were doing. Nervously Rebekah enquired as to the colour of his bike. GREEN he stated. And there it was, Rebekah´s bike had come to her, and the mysterious ways of the Camino lived on.

Dear all,

This is very sad day, and very sad day for all those people in the Airport of Brazil in Airbus A330-200 airplane. For all those people and their families, HOPE is the last chance and answer.

Let us hope and pray for their lives and family. :(

God blesses them all !

and

God bless you all !

The old system, but with the possibility to reply – very sympathico! At least for computer chaots like me. Imagine, yesterday I had already forgotten my password to lock into the new system and cursed loudly. ;-)
But more over I like the new themes of your blog very much! Great ideas!

O, how nice, I have got a green pattern – green is my favourite color!

I look around me and see people inadvertantly making themselves miserable due to the thought errors they commit in reasoning through problems. “Magical Thinking” is the name of the blog post I just put up to discuss this insidious tendency to see cause and effect where no such relationship exists. Magical thinking is dangerous–your happiness depends on your avoiding it.

The best story is within you .
Hear your soul and paint its dreams , because we just are dreams and air in search of whatever we have lost without knowing it .
But always there are roads towards the name which is still unknown.

Happy children day !
I was bit sad today, guess tired. But as I arrived home, my private student called me and told me how much her teacher loved her reply, on some essays we prepared together. She got A+. I was so happy.
Love

See dear Neela, I thought I was sad because many things are really hard in my life, but maybe I felt the tragedy in the air…The plane crush. May their souls find peace .
Thanks for each you message,dear Neela. Take care
Love
Alexandra
