Few lines inspired from the quest of the sword
Dorinţa
Aş vrea să pot mânui cuvintele
Asemeni Magicianului
Să dau puteri nebănuite
Gândului
Aş vrea
Să am talentul de a spune
Cuvintele ce deschid căi
Cuvintele ce sunt o călăuză
Către culmi,
Acolo tu, călător pelerin
Să găseşti frumuseţea purităţii,
Zâmbetul Doamnei Trandafirilor,
Leacul tristeţii.
Să revii printe noi
Tu, om nou,împlinit prin curaj,
întărit prin credinţă,
Luminat .

THINK ON THESE THINGS… We determine our children’s future
Children are extremely malleable and plastic, and how we rear them is the major determinant of their outcome. I believe that the parent trends that have evolved over the last thirty years promote the development of unattached, uncommunicative, learning-impaired, and uncontrollable children. We are experiencing an epidemic of school problems, both learning and behavioural. Teachers everywhere report that children are arriving ill equipped to engage in school because they lack focus, purpose, connection, an ability to fit into a rules system, and a desire to learn. At the extreme, our culture may well be breeding a generation of unattached, predatory children who are cognitively smart but lack the capacity to appreciate the feelings and positions of other people.
This epidemic seeps like a fog into all of our culture. Parents find themselves enslaved by a materialistic, overachieving society that leads them to spend so many hours at work and so much money that they can’t make the time to do the things necessary to bond with their children. They are worried that they might crush their children, stifle their self-esteem, or kill their creativity, to the extent that they lose all sense of proportion about the role of a young child in a family. They rarely put limits on their children or permit them to experience frustration, and they overlook their children’s moral and spiritual development. As a result, essential values like empathy, effort, duty and honour do not develop. And on top of that, they abandon their children to the influence of the media – children waste so much time on such mind-numbing electronic entertainment as television and video games that their literacy, social development, and creativity are all inhibited.

Hi Marc!
I believe it is an African saying; It takes a village to raise a child. This says it all for me what child rearing is about. A child need to grow up in a community who lives a culture and where each individual treasure and help children to grow to the best of their potentials. I’m positive about children also taking part in the global online community, as long as their life is balanced with enough running, climbing & real life explorations too.
Love & admiration,
Heart

I am right back at home on time :D
eyes sparkling, FULL of life..
Wonderful photos; sincere, smiling face of the New Master of the Sword. Congratulations, dear friend, Warrior of the Light.
In the place of the sword there is a RED ROSE. ;-] The Symbol of LOVE.
LOVE,
Thelma xxx
Rose…this flower overwhelms my senses. Lately I am almost obssesed by it. Why? There is an explanation. I just follow my heart, so try to get it near me. In all ways.
Hugs
Alexandra
it is the hologram of Little Prince’s rose..
damn in the other planet the technology is ahead! chuckles :D

Fantastico!!! Wow, I am speachless. I imagined things, but what I saw is beyond my power of imagination, more interesting and adventuros and beautiful! Magical.
Paulo, was a new proof that you are a real Magus.
Love You
And the person who did all that, he is a great man.Maybe a young Magus….
Wonderful, wonderful news about Santiago. I am so, so happy for him!
Thank you Paulo for creating The Quest. I am waiting in great anticipation to read the details of the journey.
Santiago, you are an inspiration to us all!
Love and graTitude

thank you to share this beautiful journey…

‘In the name of the rose’…
(A film with Sean Connery : one of my favorite which has rocked my heart with “mission”-Roland joffé ) and today I know that the rose is the scent of the Virgin Mary , and that it prefers the white roses …
And I like the glance of the rose , at the place of the sword
It is a great symbol.
Thank you for the sharing of path insolite …
Congratulations in the pursuit of the sword…
that each step brings to the elevation of the soul –for each pilgrim of yesterday, today and tomorrow . Amen
I saw the pictures last night. Truly beautiful. And what a great idea to have pictures as ’signposts’. I watched the pictures and saw the majesty of the nature everywhere (where it could be seen), but I also saw that spark and light in that persons eyes on the pictures, and smile on the face. A look that says: ‘I am living, now! I am enjoying life and living in the moment.’
Congratulations to Santiagosdream, but also everyone who participated in the journey. (I was with You, on the mental level, hehe) What an exciting times!
Love,
Liina
congratulation for the winner,
I hope that every one will find his sword one day whatever this sword might be..
Like Paulo always says, it is all about not giving up on your dreams.
Tarek
The warriors went on the search for the sword. – The lovers will go on the search for the rose.

Hi WOLs,
I’ve finished renovating my blog. Yay. Thought I’d never get there! A few new poems, some a little darker than previous writing and some that will be familiar for any of you who have read my work before. I’ve refrained from giving my explanation of my darker poems which I have called “Masks”, but I will say the interpretation of them by readers is important, and has been very interesting!
http://djwpoet.wordpress.com/
It’s nice to be “home”, and can’t wait to find out who the sword bearer is! :)
With love, Daniel
HI Olta,
this is a very important ‘aspect’ and it should be clear to all seekers, all wols, otherwise the world si full of people who make a living out of cheating others. about wisedom and spirituality, sharing of knwoledge u wrote
“A VERY WISE MAN, DOESN’T LOOK FOR MONEY FROM THOSE WHO NEED THAT WISDOM FROM HIM.
I BELIEVE THAT THE MORE WISER YOU ARE THE MORE HUMBLE AND KIND YOU BECOME. ( that kindness and humbleness may manifest itself as very brutal and unkind too at times, we cannot judge by apperances-aditya )
Otherwise they are just cheaters.
Wisdom is a gift we all can have for free. Who make others believe that we should have to pay for it, is making a very bad thing. To me that is the same as a crime.”
u have written absolutely right, in my view. wisdom is inherited for free ( not really, one has to pay a price to realise the wisdom, sort of to consumate teh wisedom, but that is a diffrent story ) and it should be made available for free, whoever charges some money like one mahesh yogi ( and he was able to fool a very large chunk of westerners ) is sinning gainst god and humanity which those wretch will/soon realise.
but then here we have a problem, in earlier times when wisedom was respected, there were kings who used to fully finance the living and working of those people who were considerd wise, without the person himself asking for anything specific. i will give u an example of such a relation, in india, we had a great iking in about 1500s, Akbar. Akbar became king at 13 years of age, and by teh time he had passed on some 60 years later, he had given much, much to this beautiful land. One sufi saint who akbar supported, had some specific need, a large one really. akbar was a freindly disciple and so he went to ask akbar. it so happned that at that time akbar was busy praying, just ending and he ended aloud with his request to god to make him a still bigger king. the sugi fella, quitely retraced his steps and started going back, when akbar saw him and called him back, asked him the reaosn for such strange behaviour, once when he had come, why was he leaving without even saying a hi ! ( of course the word was not known to him, but i am tranlating not just the story, i am translating the wholefeel, ambience, in my way ), sufi fella turned back and said “akbar i came to ask you for some favour, but here i saw that u are in ven more dire straits than me, look how much u want to have and how little u have, begging god, so i turned back, why to make u poorer ”
now a days we don’t have such support system in place, wise men like paulo have to live also, take care of a family etec etc. so he packges his wisedom with entertainment ( a story ), that way he is not selling wisedom, but its available.
in this isssue, the bottomline for me remains.
if i get a whiff that this is about money, i evelaute.e.g. some organisation is offering a three day seminar for a cost which does not appear like profiteering, then i may take it, but i am pretty wary of donating any money to them in name of this of that foundation. ultimately teh foundation becomes the front for sustaining teh 5 * lifestyle of teh gurus. and u should look at some buildings constructed with name of temple, they are nothing sort of small palaces with teh gurus being teh presiding diety. I can pay for services received, liek say a stay of a few days there, but donations no.
it became a little lenghty, i must scoot now, so won’t be able to see what all mistakes i made above, please bear.
love
aditya
Nice to SEE again.
Dear Aditya, again thank you for your comment, I appreciated it.
I don’t mind the mistakes as far as I can understand the meaning. ;D Don’t worry at all about that. I make a lot too, because I hurry or for other reasons, but I don’t correct my self before I click on “Submit” because I don’t dear to read my comment before I do it. I might decide to delete it immediately. heheheh
And about your comment I am telling you again that I meant some other kind of people. Only if I knew the word which characterizes them…Problems with English..I didn’t though that my comment would have been taken so much in consideration. hehehe
Anyway, I understand what you mean and it is right what you are trying to tell me. I don’t know if you are a christian but in the gospels you can read that even the apostles needed material support from the others. They wasn’t asking for money but the people used to give them food etc.
We are made of flesh and bones, we pertain to this material world as long as we live here and have a body ;) and so it is normal that we have to serve and be served. Don’t misunderstand me, I respect Paulo’s work and that of any other like him.
He makes art and gives us knowledge which is a job to be respected, evaluated, deserves and has to be payed.
But I see even what he is doing in internet and in his blog. All he is posting in here it is for free and we all are enjoying so much his stories. He keeps giving and spending so much of his time for us. How many people would care this much?
Aditya, really if I knew that someone would have payed so much attention to this comment I would have been looking for that small little word and finally be clear on what I mean. The funny thing is that I felt I had to look for it but I didn’t so. heheheh
Hope I am clear now.
Love
Olta
Hi marta, nice being here, with all of us.
Olta, let me make a confession, since the very beginning i knew what u meant, obviuously u appreciate paulo and teh wisedom he shares trough his books and here. why i went into it in so much detail was that its important for many of us to have some guideline, some starting refernce, and your comment provided that oppertunity, Thelma has also said something on similar lines “spiritual knowledge to be for free” kind of.
You are clear now and let me confess u were clear earlier too, only i chose to look from an angle so that i can share what i did. blame, if at all, for this ‘controversey’ is entirely mine !!
love
aditya

Dear all,
Another good news to share:

Katie,
Thank you so much… :)
God bless you !
Candie, just read post in two drops of oil about the difficulty of not focusing on problems and seeing the whole view. I have a trick I often use from day to day, often when I am driving, or sitting on a bus or train, times when your mind can wander and settle on problems.
I allow myself to see as much as possible, and I label everything I notice as “pleasant”, “unpleasant” or “neutral”. I try not to give anything a name (so a flower is not a flower, it is just pleasant, or neutral, or unpleasant). If you do give it a name, just move on and continue noticing things. Also notice if you label it pleasant or unpleasant because you are responding to an emotion is arouses in you. For instance, a bright colourful piece of plastic may appear quite pleasant, unless you associate it as rubbish.
Soon you realise just how much of the world is neutral, and how quickly emotions pass when you are open to more of the world around you just as it is. And you’ll be surprised at your ability to notice practically everything around you. I do this when driving so that I can notice wildlife at the side of the road or fallen tree branches. I’m yet to run over a kangaroo jumping in fornt of me, even in the dark, while doing this meditation, I even notice birds well before they are anywhere near my car. It’s one of my favourites.
With love, Daniel
hi daniel !!
like being conscious of one’s environement, be aware ! as u said it is easier, when u do it with a purpouse, mind needs purpouse, mind cooperates better when u give it something to do, keep it busy, that also it does not do very releigiously, keeps jumping from here to there, but still mind cooperates better when a purpouse like labelling sights is given.
there is another ’state’ in this u try to remai aware of u’r enviroenmnet without labelling anything, or if labelling happnes, just noticng that labelling happned. mind is required for this journey to awareness, without mind journey does not begin, but it does not end in mind, they say. once one latches on to awareness, one can transcend, they say !
love
aditya
Aditya, I have missed your comments! (or my mind has! lol!)
Lets drink a toast with water from the spring to say hello and welcome. Consciousness, awareness, mindfulness and puropse. Great words. Somewhere I have read a saying “I am not my mind, I am that which is aware I have a mind”. Or something like that. And the beauty of this kind of awareness in a very mundane way is that when you stop giving names and labels to everything around you, you stop thinking of yourself in these terms as well. Not I am good, I am bad, I am prety, I am ugly, I am smart, I am dumb, I am better, I am worse, I am fat, I am thin. Just blessed silence!
With love,
Daniel
yes daniel ! and hi daniel’s mind.
let’s raise a toast ! in that silence god speaks !
love
aditya
Thank you for reminding me of that one,it’s true,it works.But it’s allright,there are no problems,only solutions.At the moment,I don’t think of anything,I enjoy the moment,because if I start to think..well I’d rather not,I feel instead ;)
Thank you for your advices.
Much love
Candie

I lost her, I found her.
I lost her again, but never found her.
In loosing and gaining,
I think, “love is raining.”
From high above, an angel sings:
Love me tenderly, just love me till the very end.
From low below, a lonely lover sings:
I don’t know what is love, how can I love?
No match found.
Cloud all over the sky.
Nothing is seen above or behind.
Time passes by, lover is awake.
What a joy is to feel alive!
A newly born baby kissing her mother’s breast.
An old man singing alone nearby the lonely street.
A writer finding treasures on his own territory.
These words may not rhyme
But
Romance kisses these fresh limes.
Good luck and feel the sun light.

God bless you all !
And god bless romance! :)
Daniel,
Yes, God bless Romance… :)
God bless you !
Dear Santosh, thank you for sharing with us your sun. It’s beautiful :)) I like very much your poem.

Dear Thelma, thank you for sharing. The singer has a voice so sweet! Thelma, do you tell me what the song says ? Thank you very much :)
Light & Love,
The song speaks about the first love, that even that so many years have past and he has forgotten the colour of her hair and eyes, deep in his soul there is the melancholy and the pain.. Very romantic!
Thank you Marie for listening.
LOVE,
Thelma xxx
What a romantic song! I love that.
Thank you Marie and Thelma.
Some thinkable words from Neale today ;-)
On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know…
…that you cannot find or create a costume big enough
to hide your true self from anyone.
In truth, we’re all wearing The Emperor’s New Clothes.
We parade before the world naked–thinking that no
one can see us. Why not just be proudly revealed, and
authentically who we are?
And do not worry about being rejected and alone. It is
the real you that everyone falls in love with–and that
God adores.
You will not have to think but a second to know
exactly why you received this message today.
indeed!
big hug & thanks

Loved it , Jessica, thanks for your uplifting encouraging words.

Courage?
What for?
Just do it.
hehehehe….
my brain feels paralyzed now.
everything stays inside.
courage? does not even work now.
right: just do it.
A song which touched me today and how I feel sometimes
I bruise easily – Natascha Bedingfield http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNBZXyeWlrk
Love Jessica
when one ‘bruises’ easily, a ‘piece of lemon’ over the bruise always helps…
take it literally and metaphorically…
metaphorically, something bright (lemon, yellow, su) can always heal your dark spots <3
Love and GraDitude
Annie
I will remember the lemon :-)
Thank you Annie :-)
Love Jessica
I need to try this …
the sun …
how much has it come up again and again this week, hidden even in the lemon :o)

Hola a todos.
No puedo meterme en el blog como siempre, ,e he metido a traves del guerrero de la luz, pero no puedo acceder al blog del inicio.
Bueno, quería contar la viviencia de anoche. Anoche quede un rato con los amigos de siempre. Al llegar al boar me encontre con unos conocidos que lo primero que hicieron fue preguntarme si tenía trabajo, note que en el fondo estaban contentos de estar en el equipo vencedor “los que tienen trabajo”, les conté cuatro cosas y me fuí, con mis amigos, sobre todo entre los más acoplados a la vida normal, el tema de conversación fue el trabajo, se creian que estaba triste por no tener trabajo, y en el fondo contentos por estar en el equipo ganador. Yo hace un tiempo estaba agobiado por el tema del empleo, no encontraba nada y se me acababa el dinero, al final me quedé sin dinero, y unos meses tuve que pedir dinero, con 36 años, a mis padres; luego volví a encontrar algo de trabajo, y hasta ahora voy tirando, lo justo para no pedir y poder mantenerme sin excesos. Noté que a pesar de no tener trabajo, no tenía miedo, había cambiado. Por lo demás fuí espectador del mundo de los bares, hacía tiempo que no salía y ví el ambiente desde fuera, no como partícipe, lo que ví fué gente joven y estropeada por incharse todos los fines de semana de su vida a beber “cubatas” y tragar humo, contentos de estar en el equipo ganador y deseando, como todos los fines de semana, que un golpe de suerte haga que puedan tener sexo gratis con alguien, evidentemente les tendría que llegar porque son incapaces de buscarlo por miedo al rechazo o por verguenza, muchos llevan años sin tener sexo pero son incapaces de buscarlo ni siquiera pagando porque el miedo les atá. Se sentían vencedores, pero son los reyes de un mundo muy, muy pequeño. Me fuí pronto porque ya había visto a mis amigos, y la noche se presentaba igual que todas las noches en el mundo de la noche, alguno pensó que era porque no tenía dinero porque no tenía trabajo, pero me fuí porque tengo que irme al parque a entrenar con mis espadas, ver a la persona que más quiero, y tocar y tocar porque tengo un sueño… que cada uno siga su camino, pero que al menos ande.
Te entiendo, Enpie, te sentiste exiliado no por no tener trabajo , sino porque no encajabas más en ese mundo, ya que la vida de la manera que sabe hacerlo te enseñó algo diferente. Me parece que me ha ocurrido lo mismo en varias ocasiones, te encuentras con personas con las que no estás más en sintonía porque ya no piensas o sientes como ellas. No queda otra que buscar otros aliados como dice Paulo, gente que te entienda y esté en sintonía con tu nueva música. Sólo no los juzgues , aceptalos con sus limitaciones, y no gastes energía en ellos más allá de lo necesario.
Interesting about reincarnation :-)

Seems like I do more and more of “paranormal” stuff right now and getting great response. Then I not so crazy as I thought *LOL*.
But many still have doubts and think I´m a little crazy.
But for myself I have get enough proof that the paranormal is normal ;-)
So others can say what they want, I have my own beliefs.
Love Jessica
Love you the way you are, Jessica.
Have not you noticed … our eyes are instinctively drawn to light. Yet, it’s when we are in the twilight that we take time to better look at what surrounds us. :)
Good synday to all :)

nice, Marie
just nice :o)
thank you.
twilight is my most favorite
day light.
those different phases of light bring all a specific atmosphere.
how much has the presents of the sun
affected our feelings on earth?
Dear all,
Here is one story for all of you,
Have a great week-end !
*****************
Mr. Mad Man
*****************
Once upon a time there was very young handsome man. He was handsome but everybody called him, “Mad”. He had lot of sentiments and emotion. One night, he was sitting on the top of the terrace, he was very lonely and he asked, “God, Why am I here?” God did not reply anything to him. He felt very sad. Later after few years, he completed his studies and started to search for jobs. He asked again to god, “God, why I don’t get job?” Again, God did not say anything. Later after few years, he felt in love with a beautiful young girl. But after few years, girl left him. He was again sad and asked god, “God, what did I do wrong that she left me?” This time also God did not said anything.
Few years passed and he started to realize that there is no God. He started to write against God. In one of his book he wrote, “God is Dog and Dog is God.” Those people who liked God hated him but those who do not like god, loved him.
One day he heard the news that the girl who left him all alone got married and has a kid. He started to buy new toys and gifts for the kid. Since he has lot of emotions for her, he could not stop doing that. Eventually, he had lot of toys and gifts for the kid. He tried a lot to meet the girl but girl always refused.
Everybody started to make fun of him and in the town where he lived, people said, “This guy is mad, he is so sick.” He didn’t felt anything of anyone what they were saying to him.
One day while he was sleeping. Some strange but very lovely lady came to him. He asked, “Who are you?” She said, “I am no one and I don’t have any name.” The handsome man then replied, “Why are you here?” She said, “I want to take you to the place where God is, you wanted to talk with him, don’t you?” He said, “Yes, I wanna!”
The beautiful lady and the handsome guy went to meet the God.
Finally, he met God and asked, “Why did you call me?” God replied, “I didn’t call you, you were calling me so many times, I am sorry handsome man but every individual on earth has to suffer simply because we sent them to learn some lessons.”
God continued…
“Well, but don’t worry, I know that you have lost love, you have lost job, you have lost so many things, but now I have special gift for you.”
Handsome man said, “Wow, what is it?”
God said, “It is all those things that you lost in Earth. Do you want them back?”
Handsome man paused for a while and started to think ….
Finally he said, “No, I don’t want anything that I have lost because all those things were my lessons to be learned out of “so called life.”
Next morning, handsome man was found dead in his bed. All of his friends, relative and strangers took him to grave. They buried him and on his tombstone it reads,
Mr. Mad man
1600-1672 AD

maybe it really depends on the firefox version I have now. hardly anything works with it :o)
good to know …
So why dont you copy the text, go to google trnslate, and select languages…is an option, but of course, no perfect translation.
giggle ….
found out about the other approach after I put the question on the blog.
tried out with your poem.
took me some while.
but it is good to know that it works for you all and that it is my browser, dear alexandra

Katie, perhaps you can download the Google Toolbar where there’s the translation tab :))
Light & Love,
aahhhhh!
what an idea! :o)

Maybe I’m just a joke, maybe I’m someone to take your frustrations out on because I make myself readily at your disposal – however I am trusting God. Maybe you call him Allah and I call Him God, but He’s the Creator and One in the same. I’m an anthropologist/archaeologist…I believe in research and facts, and I’m led by my spirit/heart. I believe those two are perfectly in unison when we speak of God. Christian, Jewish, Muslim…we’re all descendants of the same ancestors – Africans, later migrating into the Middle East. You believe God/the first Man is Black? Ha! Tell me something I don’t know! Not only is this a verified fact of Anthropology and history, but I saw Him when I died…moreover I felt Him, and he was such a deep shadow, there directly behind me, that I knew who to look for…when looking for Him again when I lived…the image of Him. You think I’m a dumb person who is easily tricked, who believes only as far as I can see, and only what I can see in the mirror at that. You’re wrong. My life is about learning and soaking up knowledge because I’ve always known it would be the only way to ever reach Him again. You laugh at me and think I’m ridiculous…yet you have clear vision. How does that happen? Maybe the contradiction that lies within the great wealth of God? Do I use different words than you? Well, regardless of what you think of me, you’ll never know a more submissive person. That is how I knew to listen to God when He told me He wanted me to continue to speak to you even though I knew how crazy it made me look. I’m so far out of your social league its not even funny, I understand that, but I was led to give you something – an understanding that you would have never had otherwise. I’ve done that. Its your choice to leave it. I’ve reached the pinnacle, I can feel it, and now I’ll leave you alone, per your wish.
Dear Justine
Thank you for sharing your story. I believe you.
love
chieko
I’m not entirely sure why you have written this, perhaps to relieve your soul of some hurt some discomfort. And yet in your words I have found comfort, a sense of calmness. Thank you.
Justine – my grand mother’s name – How wise you are!..and just!
I loved your blog. Thank you so much.
Good luck with your degree, Phd.
:)
Dear Justine, your story is interesting, and thank you for sharing it with us. I hope that God will keep being with you this way forever. ;)
I think that every testimony we give through what God let us see is very important to be taken into consideration. Your story made me so curious indeed. :D
And I believe that no one in this blog would judge you for such kind of stories. Here you will find people who believe in miracles, so now you be the judge. heheheh
I often do believe that what I write are total nonsenses, that I should just better stop or shut my mouth, but the desire to keep going on doesn’t let me to, and then I end up seeing that I am the only one who is judging herself. And unfortunately I know I’ll be thinking this way still. heheh
Good luck dear Justine!
Love
Olta
you might be a joke and seem crazy for writting but most likely someone else might seem a joke and seem crazy for reading…
follow your heart
mine is so stubborn but when the soul calls it does, as much as I try fighting it at times, who cares who thinks I’m nuts, I really don’t, the prob is when I start thinking I’m nuts, lol
Yeap! hehehh
My self my own enemy. ;)
Thank you Cuore!
Love

Light & Love,
Den,
so funny this coincidence :o)
the yukon quest is a dog mushing race that currently goes on. it goes through the wilderness from alaska to the yukon territories.
this is what I found on their facebook:
“There’s a plane coming down the middle of the road near the fire station! Not sure why, not sure how.”
one of the comments: “D PLANE BOSS D PLANE”.
some villages they pass are very small, often not linked to streets. then things like this may happen “naturally”.
The FANTASY ISLAND is true, dear Katie, and it’s among us. !
Bye. !
By the way, where you from? I’m from Brazil.

Poem
Deschidere
In zarea nesfarsita sa privesti
cum norii se destrama ca sa lase
sa citesti
raspunsuri
La intrebari
STrafundurile mintii vor patrunde
sensurile lor
zidurile ce le-ai zidit
se vor prabusi sonor
ca sageata iluminarii sa-si atinga tinta
increde-te
Si iata ca devii
un vas
o amphora straveche tu
gata sa primeasca
lumina Dumezeiasca
Potir stravechi
umplut cu mir
Miere divina
Din soarele iubiruii pure desprinsa
Eterul se revarsa in arome
Ce te imbata
Si iata
Copil esti iar
Naiv, hoinar
Strengar…
Deschis si pur.
nice …
this poem means work :o)
not in understanding …
but in using it :o)
(hope you understand …)
hug
-k
I must confess I wrote it as a reply to ugly poems, full of bad things…And is inspired by the ideas found in Paulos writing…Thanks for reading it, maybe I should translate, for on line translation changes bit the words.Much Love
Hugs
Alexandra
so, that’s the reason it looks so complex and complicate :o) aahhhh: understand …
the google translation
I have to admit: when I read your story about the poetry night, I could see how upset you were. but it was described in such a good way that I saw a specific comic in it: I had to laugh loud, and I enjoyed it – actually. I think when I were there, I had also laughed loudly. I think it would fit in the whole situation: make it even more awery.
I have started to think about “what is art? what is its purpose?” and your story really fits well :o)
I agree, personally I like that what I experience as the beauty of art …. but this is very subjective …
the whole story reminded me of an exhibition of Max Beckmann’s pieces I saw.
I bet many people did not like him at this time. his art was called “entarted” (decadent, abnormal).
in the exhibition, they also showed several pornographic drawings/paintings he did. I wonder how this gets experienced :o)
it was funny, the pornographic pieces were presented in such a way that they were hidden by walls. you had to go between the walls in order to look at them.
hug
-k
forgot:
the google translation looked really good for the first step.
what a great idea to make a poem out of paulo’s themes..
I hassle with it that I have so many quotes from him and you all and I want to have them everywhere as a reminder …
making a necklace does not work, but I think & think ….
hehehe
Thank you so much, is so good is another soul understans you(me)…
God bless you
A quote I found :-)
The grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
Love Jessica
AND SOMETHING NOT TO DO
if the something to love = something to do and hope for, you only need one essential!
Love and GraDitude

I saw an eagle beside my car today and then I heard this song on the radio that was a sign for me :-)

http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/spiritual-leader-james-ray-arrested-sweat-lodge-deaths/story?id=9741781
I have just read in the news paper about James Ray. This is the first time that I hear about him; my thoughts are that people should not ‘blindly’ believe and follow someone who ..asks from them money! Wisdom should be given FREELY or it ceases to be .. WISDOM.
LOVE,
Thelma xxx
I agree Thelma, and feel sorry for poor inocent weak people who died. And the worst is that he is not the only person who uses his powers to manipulate others.And there must be a limit for everything.Sad news.
Yup Thelma. Happened close to where I live. You are so right in what you say. What gets me is Native Americans offered this man to help him build this sweat-lodge and with knowledge of how they use them. Oh, no, Mr James Ray didn’t want any guidance from any experts…Oh, what arrogance!
Love & admiration,
Heart

That’s arrogant, really.
For “life-coaches” as him and b.ex. Anthony Robbins I don’t see what is wrong selling what you know. If you find something you are good at and on which you can earn your living you are free to either sell it or give it away.
If people want to pay several thousands of dollars for a seminar instead of going and living on a farm far out in the bush for a couple of months for the same prize and learn in practise in close connection with the nature, it is really their choice, or?
We’re all seekers.. and we learn from our mistakes.
THE WORD ‘WISDOM’ ITSELF IS DANGEROUS.
WE’RE ALWAYS LEARNING.
GIVES ROOM TO GROW DEN!:)
hAVE A NICE WEEK END
You too,
I got it.
I’m walking in,
Let’s do it. !
A VERY WISE MAN, DOESN’T LOOK FOR MONEY FROM THOSE WHO NEED THAT WISDOM FROM HIM.
I BELIEVE THAT THE MORE WISER YOU ARE THE MORE HUMBLE AND KIND YOU BECOME.
Otherwise they are just cheaters.
Wisdom is a gift we all can have for free. Who make others believe that we should have to pay for it, is making a very bad thing. To me that is the same as a crime.
Love
Olta
agree ! but then does it make Paulo on the worng side, through his books all he does is share his wisedom, pacaging it in suitable stories ! as per me yes and no, now what kind of an answer is that?
love
aditya
Oh dear Adyita!
I feel so like laughing right now, but not at your words, but at mines.
Now I understand…
SOMEONE who has read this blog MIGHT have misunderstood me as maybe you did.
PAULO,
He has done a wonderful job with his books, and the more the time it passes the more I understand how important he and his books are in our life, even though we have to buy them.
But with my words I wasn’t referring myself to people like him, but to another kind of people. When I relied to Thelma I was about to write about someone’s story who needed help from someone, a “wise man”, yeah right, who could help him, but he still don’t know that he was talking to a cheater, who was using God’s name to take some profits from him.
This kind of cheaters are responsible of giving wrong examples and wrong directions to the people who need them, this is why I call it a crime.
Paulo’s work is priceless…
Whenever I read what he write I find a truth and relief in my soul. Somethings I understand very well, but others I just feel like I have to test them so that I’ll know them better. As that they are going to take place in me completely.
We all need such things.
Thank you for replying adyita!
Love
Olta Joana
great faithful friends like the a poem which we don’t get bored from reading it
great faithful friends are like the rainbow after the rain
great faithful friends are like a colorful spots in the dark
they are like the stares we don’t see them all the time but we know they are here :)
Dear Haneen,
Nice to have your beautiful soul back!!!!
Love
Monica
the stare has 5 ends
the square has 4 ends
the triangle has 3 ends
the line has 2 ends
the life has 1 end
but the circle hasn’t any end
just like my dreams ;)
AND NO BEGINNING.
IT IS.
