I’m glad that you have opened us this topic,
so I’ll wish you HAPPY BIRTHDAY once again and good continuation of all your work!

I’ve just read “The Way of The Bow” and it’s another great one. Love the instructions i get over there and the style it has been written. But what else to say, when you have already approved that you are an big Maestro, so far back to the days.

The only thing i feel really sorry is cause it’s actually YOUR BIRTHDAY, but you gave us another presents again, except we to do it for your self.

ALL THE BEST!!!

Happy Birthday to you, Paulo…and Happy Birthday to me too! Yesterday afternoon, standing in the middle of small creek that cuts its way across the Texas countryside, I was baptized.

Much that was said in the service that morning made sense to me, but what made even more sense to me were your words, which I have been reading in “The Valkyries.” I still do not consider myself as a Christian in exclusion to other faiths, as I do not see this ceremony as representing a contract between myself and other human beings of a particular group. It is, for me, rather symbolic of “the breaking of a pact,” as it is said in “The Valkyries”: “only a person who is not ashamed can manifest the glory of God.”

As I stepped out of the water and onto the banks of that creek, I thought of Valhalla’s words: “From the moment that you set foot outside, promise, in the name of the archangel Michael, that never again – never again – will you raise your hand against yourself.”

“For years he had believed in the implacable hand of God, in his punishment. But it was his own hand, not God’s, that had wrought such destruction. Never for the rest of his life would he do that again.”

Thank you, Paulo, immensely, for your writings which fill us with the richness of profound understanding and thereby lead us precisely to where we need to be.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Sincerely,
Savita

NUNCA ES FINGIDO,

AY, AY, AY,AYAY, AY, AY,

My Dear Paulo!!!!!

Happy Birthday!!! :)
You – is the best writer and the wonderful person! Your books with me everyday. I know, your life was not easy, but you trusted in the dream. Owing to you today and I trust in the dream and I know, that never I shall refuse it.

In rich Russian language there will be no all words to express all my love, respect and tenderness which overflow heart. Above all I want, that You, my favourite, was healthy and happy. In the books You give us part of your soul. Many consider You the guru, the Magician, and for me You is Wizard owing to whom I today sing on a stage.

Thanks You that You are!
Happy birthday, my favourite. Happy birthday, mine Paulo! Best wishes for you!

Love. Alena from Russia

I loved to see the video and the music was so nice to listen to. I also liked to see Mr. Coelho on these different pictures. Thank you for taking the time and sharing. I wish you, Mr. Coelho, another day to cherish and receive the love of all your readers and entourage. It is a day of celebration, the coming of your soul and mostly of its liberty of expression and of its accomplishments. Wish you a day of full satisfaction. With affection, Jojo.

Querida Rosa,
Estoy llorando a tope con lo que has hecho. Un brindis de tanto amor y esperanza para Paulo y para todos nosotros.

La cancion que has utilizado es muy importante para mi porque no paraba de cantar esta cancion en el otono del 2004 antes de ir a Holanda para ver a Paulo en una reunion.
Has hecho algo hermosisimo.
Los angeles estan muy pero muy presente ahora.
Besos

rosa de los vientos August 24, 2009 at 10:38 pm: Querida Karen: estoy contenta de que escribas aquí, eso quiere decir que te encunetras mejor y me alegro.
Espero que algún dia hagamos otro para Paulo juntas porque tu también estás llena de creatividad. La vida está llena de simbolismos y tu encuentras los mensajes que son enviados para ti.
Escríbeme en cuanto estés bien.
Un beso
