Mr. Coelho,
I love you books, but I didn’t know what a great person you were. I am so happy that you don’t distance yourself from other people’s pain and sufferings. “Beware of the indifferent, it is because of their silent approval that the most horrible crimes in the history of humanity are committed”. Thank you for being a humanist not only in your books.
Sincerely yours,
Marina
Today, what would make a difference to the world was being patient.
When things are going wrong we should wait, untill they get set again giving time for us recharge our batteries.
The story of Arash and all what is happening in Iran make me remember Tirana 1990 when student’s movement fortunately change albanian’s history. For 50 years we were closed by e man like Ahmadinejad and his clic.
I translated the email exchange with doctor Arash and publish it on the newspaper I direct as chief redactor “Republika”, daily newspaper in Albania. I thanks God doctor Arash and his family is save now, but Iran in still not free.
Best regards, serafina
I had to be there,he was told that i would be there in spirit and i knew he would be searching for me.We are the only two here who have each other from where we came from.Sometime we miss how we use to be.But this is the way it works in this place we both know and we both know our mission.He had personally came in spirit to wake me up,while i was sleeping.So i knew i had to be there,how could i let him down.So i went there,just to be beside him,i saw him surrounded by people.Someone asked me to sit beside him and luckily that seat was near him.I was surprised that i was seen or became visible to them then i forgot that i was inside someone just to be near him.I just sat there watching him,i wanted to take his both hands and kiss those hands who had shed so much blood for everyone.But i am not in my body and i was just there for him.
Then all of a sudden i am drawn by a voice or a force,and i knew i had to be there.
I saw a woman and few people who went near her and offer her money.She looked desperate helpless and it seemed that those guys wanted to price her.I was sad as i saw this hapless woman.I saw that she somehow had earned money by her hardwork,and she wanted to take those money home,maybe for her family.Then all of a sudden police are everywhere and she starts running.I run with her and i know she will be caught by police,so i opened a door just at the left,and suddenly she saw a door to her left was opened just like that,out of nowhere.She entered the house.There were men and women on beds,i somehow made her go to the inner room.Then the owner a middle aged lady gave her a room and told her to hide inside.They also knew that she was hunted by so call men in uniform.She took something inside her mouth and she lied down the floor dead lifeless.She would rather be dead that to be taken by those men
Then i saw 3 men in uniform asking to the woman about the woman in room.They forced opened the doors and searched the rooms.She was lying dead,but i knew that she should not die.I saw what was in one of those evil man’s mind.I had to protect this innocent life.He thought that she wasn’t fully dead so he kicked her ,he kicked her so hard on her body her stomach ,like an animal.Imagine a man hitting a woman like dog.He searched her pocket and found the money,she had earned and took it.And they left.I stood up from her body,thinking phew that wasn’t that painful but if she had to get that kick herself am sure she would be bleeding to death by now.I woke her up,and she woke up and the woman who helped her was surprised how come a person who had comitted suicide and was badly beaten like dog sprung up.She felt for the pocket and cried they took my money.I smiled and said,hey you should be thankful you are alive without pain.
Then i rushed to his side ,coz i didn;t want him to be alone in his celebration.Enjoying a time,walking beside him watching him meet people.Oh when will i kiss your hands in real.I am crossing the dates in my calenders and i am happy.Who wont be happy to meet a Real King.

senza parole, terrificante, eppure anch’io lo scorso anno in questa data stavo partendo per l’iran. ho incontrato persone, ho visitato luoghi, ho vissuto due settimane splendide tra teheran, yazd, shiraz, esfahan. a distanza di un anno sono qui inchiodata senza parole ma con il cuore pieno di speranza per un futuro dignitoso per il popolo persiano.
angels -article on

Hey c cool ce que tu as fait sur ton blog,la neige qui tombe!Comment tu fais ca s’il te plait?Merci Sido.Et oui les anges sont tjrs là à veiller sur nous.Bel article,merci.
:)
Dear Sido,
Nice article! I too believe in angels, not just in the past (as they appear in the Bible), but also in the present. I do not buy this idea that time is split into two periods – the Old Testament period, when angels made their presence known among men; and the New Testament period, the present, when God no longer communicates directly with human beings. I think it is just as possible to encounter an angel today as it was several thousand years ago, the only difference being that, today, people have forgotten how to see these angels.
Perhaps they are looking for a creature that resembles the ornament that place atop their Christmas tree each year – this glowing being in white robes, with a halo and wings. But I think angels come into our lives in much less conspicuous forms. We may recognize them as angels, but they do not necessarily stand out as being anything other than ordinary human beings.
I think of Genesis 18, when the three angels come to visit Abraham. The Bible just says that he “saw three men.” It doesn’t say anything about wings or halos. And yet Abraham knew that he was in the presence of God’s messengers – he just knew that they were angels. The Bible doesn’t explain how Abraham knew this, but it does suggest, in this example as well as many others, that it is possible to recognize an angel as an angel although they may arrive in less than impressive form.
In general, I think that people don’t very often see angels today, only because they are not looking. They are looking for something else – some blinding light, the flutter of wings, a halo – and yet, that very person sitting next to them on the subway, the bum on the street corner who has something to say, these might be angels bearing messages intended for their ears, messages that they very much need to hear. They don’t though – they don’t hear, just like they don’t see – because they are waiting for trumpets to blow.
I think that if we look at every person who comes toward us as a potential angel in disguise, if we treat their words as though they might just be a message direct from God, then there is much that we might learn about life and about ourselves. The “signs” God sends our way are seldom written in neon.

Bisou. A bientôt Candie et merci pour…. le reste :-D
You know Savita, I do not think that we can say that “if we look at each person who comes to us as an angel disguised ..etc ” ( as you talk in your post ): not it is not possible to see frequently of angels (In this sense that it should not too interpreting what we would like to see )
There are certainties in the life and when you meetings an angel, you are sure to be in his presence –believe me!! This is not just a meeting: it is a time so magical,You are bathed in a love so strong that it is difficult to describe , so the feeling is strong and PURE ( i liked as a woman i had felt this before: and this marked my life has ever: there is a before and after , when one has experienced this: it is different after , nothing is such)
As regards my experience, 2 angels came to me 8 December , they were in their halo of light; I have talked to a man to smile of angel ( natural person without halo) before the cave of apparitions of Marie to Lourdes ( and he told me about personal stuff : i surveyed yet)
And of course , there are my guardian angel ( 2 life experiences: in 2004, his caress on my face in a great moment of despair; and its presence during its they months-From December to May- to accompany me in the experience of events spiritual: that I have a little detail in my book ( I am trying to translate it into english , or a party , and I will put the link = this will enlighten my words)
But I know that we must keep its discernment: everything is not spiritual , all is not meeting spiritual…and this is not because I experienced these magic moments , that i live again ( i do not ,Or rather, i think why a pause me is given )
The important, Savita, it is to retain its great humility and his love for his next and the love of God in his soul.And remain a single person and loving.
