Dear friends,
I should look like a judge, I dont want that. But cant help, must share that with you, that you are outsiders(from that story). I was yesterday to a circle(club) of writers, poets…There was a poet presenting his poems. I was excited. But when I took a look to the sheet I had in front of me, saw the “poems”…I felt sick. That was nothing when I had to listen the other poems read by that man. He was presented by a friend from high school, and I heard he is manager to a magazine here in my city. I said bear it, lets see how others react, and how he explains his work. I am tempted to share here few lines of him, but maybe pc will broke…for the shock. He said is “post modernism”…ohhh.
I can say I heard only a bunch of disparate words thrown on the paper, without sense, and the most used were demential, senile, mad, and among them…I quote” the bruised “balls” of a porno star”…As a cherry on the cake there were from tv, and a techic smiled at me …already was hard to pretend I am ok, he made the situation worse.
Ok, I dont know if you got the picture.There were more old people, few young. I listened to critics, hoping I was not mad…Oh, Godness great. The critics were much more beautiful than the poems, and, no one felt ashame to compare that “poet” to Shackespeare, Goethe, and our greates Romanti poet…I felt sicker. All that commented(positive) on the poems, were close friends to that person, or, I guess they needed that man for being able to publish their works. I admire that man, nonetheless, for his courage to appear with such work. But what a coincidence, yesterday I have read a short story from J.L. Borges, “Et Caetera” A dying theologian, where a man punished for his lack of respect to mercy had to endure lots of flattery…That poet had not read it, I bet.
They young could not comment…soon we were told time was over. I feel all is a closed circle, there, with people who are not sincere and interest and friendship( or being relative) counts more than talent.
Only nice thing was my thought to the painting on Munch, but…not even that can say what I felt.
My dear friends, please work, try to promote your work, otherwise people like that I was talking about, will make other to stop reading.
Much love
Alexandra( apology for my sincerity)
Dear Alexandra, don’t overwhelm you because you are hermetic poetry “postmodern” ! :) I understand you read that it was a shock. You have some idea of poetry. It was interesting that you can discuss and exchange views with him on your perceptions of poetry. I thinking of the day with a friend, we went to Versailles. At this time, there was also the exhibition of Jeff Koons. This has 2 effects on me, one is laughing, the other is a flat encéphologramme! I never understood the intellectual route and / or art that is hanging horizontally 5 vacuums in a grid style garden! Well … don’t worry! I’m even at home! :))
For the emotional side of your post, it’s never pleasant to see in people that you appreciate, a facet that isn’t appreciated at all! You certainly have people you like about this club that you think the think sincere in their vision of poetry and you have their “arrangement” intellectual … it makes me think of the latest book by Paulo “The winner stands alone”.
Often we have the bad habit of waiting for others to change but we can also change our view of others…now ! :))
Light & Love,

Debemos confiar siempre en nuestra intuisión porque son las señales que a veces la vida nos envia. Si desconfiamos a primera impresión sobre una persona, debemos de atender a ese sentimiento, proque a veces por lastima nos hacemos amigos o hacemos favores a personas que despues nunca nos agradeceran o nos pagaran con una mala jugada
Cuando ayudamos debemos hacerlo sin esperar agradecimiento ni ningún otro tipo de expectativa. Esa persona que nos lastima, realmente nos está enseñando algo muy valioso, entonces realmente nos está dando algo, claro que algo muy diferente de lo que esperamos… por eso lo de dar sin esperar.
La intuición es importante, hay que escucharla, es una señal de que una experiencia única se acerca.

My sources along the road tell me that the Quest of the Sword may end next week. Which happens to be a TOTAL surprise for me. I was expecting that would take longer, people were going to wait till summer, and eventually would never find at least 2 tasks.
But at this very moment, there are 3 people too close to call.
Anyway, I was inviting WOLs, what should I expect?
Warriors of Light never postpone their calls.
wow!
exciting ….
makes me even more curious…
cannot wait :o)
A great new!! :-)
Kisses from Barcelona,

I am utterly impressed by these brave, determined & fast acting warriors. This was not an easy task. I cannot understand how they could do it so quick. Of course our dear Paul recently walked much of the same route and is turning into a veteran pilgrim! I cannot wait to hear the announcement of who the winner will be.
good job!
and by the way my phone just rang… I’ll answer it…
I hope the 3 people are willing to share with WOL’s their feelings on these landscapes traversed and certainly wonderful encounters they have done … Wait and See! :))
Light & Love,
Upon reading this news I burst into tears. They were heavy tears, and I felt as though I had been punched in the gut. My papers had been submitted for a VISA, flights had been booked and baby sitters organised. I wanted that sword!
The lesson learned is hard one. I stand in admiration of the warriors who dropped everything and went on the quest. Congratualations on your achievements so far.
Outside a storm is brewing. I want to run out into the field, onto the wings of the wind and have it hurl me into the violent purple clouds.
Paulo, thank you for challenging us with this quest. I loved solving the enigma and planning the trip.
Love and graTitude
Karin
I had the feeling was not that hard, so was right! I feel happy for the seekers, and really thank you dearest Paulo, for everything!!!
Much love
Alexandra
I have just read the wonderful news. You are right, dearest Paulo Coelho, they are real Warriors, but most of all they love you and believe in you being their Master. I feel their excitement and happiness already. May God bless them all who have gone out for the Quest and I pray that the Chosen one will be the one who .. deserves it. It was a marathon of Will and LOVE.
LOVE and … admiration [this time!!]

Wow!!! this is amazing!!!
the quote of today from Paulo’s facebook, just love it :o)
Be realistic: go for the impossible!. I always tried to find my own limits. So far I did not find them, so my universe is in constant expansion
I wish to find a way to collect some quotes and make a necklace or so out of it, something I can carry with me and is a reminder … but how?
giggle
I love this quote too, what a lovely idea – maybe a locket with a little note written in it with those words?
Alex
nice one :)
Deliciosamente cierto. Siempre reflexiono sobre los enemigos propios y ajenos , y mi conclusion casi siempre coincide en que nosotros los creamos, consciente e inconscientemente.
Para leer y re-leer.
Un abrazo.

Prefiero pensar que por muy temibles y crueles que puedan parecer nuestros enemigos “externos” son siempre redimibles, y que el amor libera a toda persona de sus peores demonios. Que el daño que nos puedan causar es la herramienta de la que se vale la eterna ley del amor para llevarlos a su redención, que en algún instante inexorablemente ocurrirá. Un mensaje para pensarlo y vivirlo. Un abrazo.
No entiendo la enseñanza del enemigo externo, supuestamente debemos tener fe en el mejoramiento humano, y hacer bien sin mirar a quien.
Si analizamos un poco nos está transmitiendo aca que no se puede cambiar la naturaleza de las cosas, si algo siempre ha sido malo, continuara siendolo.
“- Ese día, cuando te agachaste para salvarme, sabías que yo era una serpiente, ¿o no? ”
un simil sería.
Me salvaste la vida pero como soy un asesino te voy a matar.
Realmente no se si este era el sentido que se quería transmitir pero he quedado con dudas
Muito forte e interessante o texto sobre o INIMIGO EXTERNO, deixou claro pra mim que a cobra representa nós, seres humanos, e que não devemos esquecer que somos capazes de crueldade até com as pessoas que nos ajudam nos piores momentos de nossa vida.
A child threw a stone and injured to death an individual –another child threw the stone that he found before him , a small stone, is slightly injured another individual … that must be judged the important fact or no , or the fact but also the gesture –the question arises or non : if he had found a big stone before him , would he threw as he has done a small stone ?
But , if to punish , someone take a stone and launches on them , in order to show them that “throwing a stone is not correct” in the fact and in the gesture; then we can to question !!!
My question is: if you’re wise , find you the good way to say what you have to say without passing through the same means which are also ….because with you/a “troupe of soldiers” toward a dangerous path “my brother” ???!!!!
The wise of wise would propose that on a land rolling” , it is always preferable to keep “good” shoes , in order to avoid drag…and to look ahead to advance …
in one day i decide that i have to hold my breath
to fight the tears
to rise my shine up
to believe in myself
to work hard
& to forget all the past
NOW i’m waiting the result after doing all that
but it’s a horrible feeling when you wait for something
i’m just praying from my deep deep heart to be good

Definitivamente, “Algunas personas sólo entienden el sabor de la felicidad cuando consiguen perderla”… no hay frase más acertada… esto viví muy amargamente, porque el ser humano tiene que sufrir primero para entender los sucesos de la vida?… es que él que no haya sufrido, llorado no ha vivido nada!…
Salud!
With a big doubt, I share something I experienced lately…Hope not to annoy anyone. Well, I had a lover whom still I think was the best, strong not aggresive, decent, honest, very great lover. That was long ago. THe relation was with big periods of gaps, but always seemed so alive.For a while, when he was (or seemed getting near to me) I wanted change my life, and for he was not proposing, I cut the relation. He knew all my deffects(or great part people usually ignore) still he treated me in most affective way.
After many years he got my new address phone number( he has such job that he has no problem for gathering information), and called me, for asking the permission to a visit. Than I noticed a thing,for my bewilderment. He now call my name, and he never did it before. Even if we were togheter in big love involvment, he used to call me great true love, sun, so on…but never my name…
I think he changed something in his way of seeing me, dont know what exactly.
Hope was not boring
Love
Alexandra
We have one expression which says that when someone really loves you want call you my love, my treasure, etc but he will talk to you with your own name.
I think that that is just an evasive way. I think that a woman should be very careful on such details, cause man are able to speak very beautiful words, but are they always speaking the truth?
When I left my last comment in this blog, I was in part referring my to someone, a man.
Alexandra your comment is not annoying or boring, not at all, it is the opposite. I personally love such kind of talking.hehehe
I can tell you that from my life experience I was hurt by love so many times that I can’t even count, but I know I have really loved only once, and still I’ve never had a REAL disappointment from a man. You know why? I hate lies. I hate them, they make me feel sick. Man can be perfect liars and when this gets mixed with their egoism, but I just can’t stand it and it is just like I smell it since the beginning. Than I give him the right of doubt, but I do wrong, cause I end up being so damn right…
Hope what I am about to say to you it wont hurt you, but the way you describe this man it makes me think of the typical, macho perfect lover who knows how to make a woman feel happy and a real woman because that satisfies his ego, but he never wants to tie on his life to a woman. If it was in his hands he would just like to life free forever.
I should admit that this change is surprising in fact and it would be a good sign, but I would advice you to keep your eyes wide open dear Alexandra. He has absolutely to be sincere to you. Maybe Annie’s is a good idea. To ask him. Let’s see what he’ll say or do.
Love
Olta
hmm..
what a nice story …
may be there have been growth and development on both sides? :o)
using other names than the person’s name?
people that are very, very close to me always get many nicknames. hm, may be I sometimes then miss using their name. the names are positive. and I try to express then how I experience them in this moment… it is fun to do it: to create one’s own (positive) language :o)
I do it even with my pets.
ask him….
and enjoy :o)
Dear Alexandra ,I couldn’t help excepting the following,I agree Olta ,if man can’t tie their life with you ,that won’t be a true love .wish you luck and don’t forget tell us the following story !
Conozco al enemigo…
Indiscutiblemente querido maestro,
que no es la oscuridad
la puerta que endurece el alma,
ni tampoco la luz
la única que aclara el pensamiento,
que el dolor y la pena te llenan de entendimiento,
pero que aquel que no ve con el alma
y no habla con el corazón,
siembra flores de gloria,
sobre los granos del desierto…
Mas no creas en mis palabras,
que no seré yo tu guía,
ni me pidas amores,
si no quieres mi compañía
y si prendes de delirios tu ropaje de siervo,
no dudes que en las aguas profundas de la nada
te sumergirás…
que si bien sabe del bien y el mal
aquel que lo invento,
también sabe del canto,
aquel que algún día lloro,
pues el que canta sin dolor
no puede valorar una sonrisa,
más aun la caricia de viento que lo cobija.
pues si una humilde humanidad se viste de gala,
es porque el alma del que pinta desprendió de la piel la daga…
Borremos con una sonrisa la mala hierba del jardín,
y dejemos que las serpientes envenenen su alma,
que al final del camino todo lo que acontece,
es la boca del destino, devorando su propia eternidad…
Me subo desde arriba de la montaña secreta,
y miro entonces como se matan entre ellas,
espero paciente sin pena ni gloria,
que el elixir de su propio dolor
las transforme en espirales de luz,
y no hay pena ni gloria que las detenga,
su propia identidad, tarde que temprano
las delatara,
y el que limpia el jardín,
con fuego celestial las transformara,
en abono bendito que alimente el paraíso
para volver a mirar la luz,
en la tierra de los ciegos…

Me pregunto :? Que hara Nasrudin cuando se le pase la alegria al viajero y se de cuenta de nuevo que quitandole lo que tenia y devolviendoselo sigue insatisfecho ?
Yo creo que hay que quitarle a Nasrudin las ganas de enseñar y devolverselas” Mil veces” para que vea la maleta vacia de quien lo inspira
PUEDE SER, PAULO, QUE QUIZAS UNO DEBA PERDER TODA LA FELICIDAD QUE TIENE PARA PODER SABOREARLA DE NUEVO. EL TIEMPO LO DIRA. PERO ES TERRIBLE SENTIR DOLOR. ES UN METODO DE ENSEÑANZA? PARA APRENDER LO QUE NO HEMOS QUERIDO APRENDER ANTES? CUANDO PIERDES EL AMOR, LA ILUSION SE VA, Y APARECEN LAS LAGRIMAS, Y EL DOLOR ES EXTREMO, A VECES, UNO DECIDE DEJAR DE JUGAR EN ESTE MUNDO DE GUERREROS DE LA LUZ. PORQUE SIN AMOR NADA MERECE LA PENA (Y MAS CUANDO AMAR ES LO QUE DA SENTIDO A TU VIDA, TU LEYENDA PERSONAL). SI, DIOS NOS DA LA CAPACIDAD DE DECIDIR NUESTROS ACTOS. Y A VECES NOS EQUIVOCAMOS. Y POR ELLO LAS CONSECUENCIAS SON NO QUERER SEGUIR VIVIENDO COMO GUERREROS DE LA LUZ. SINO SOLO COMO PROFESIONALES Y VIVIDORES SEGUIDORES DEL INSTINTO. SIN SENTIMIENTOS Y SIN AMOR.

Sade – Soldier of Love
I am wearing my Dr Ze us ‘s hat to-day.- it’s the little child inside of me -
About those credit card schemes – I put the question to my bank a while ago trying to find out whether they had a card where you could put some money in to pay for your purchases on line and replenish it when required?.:) Their reply was “NO” Why not? This seems so silly, it could prevent all these fraud cards happening. Seems to me they are helping these sort of things happening instead of preventing them.
..mind you you also have to make provision for taking an insurance in case… that sort of thing happens…
hey, we are talking business here. Money machine!.

No matter how I might feel before I open this page and start, reading, replying or just writing comments, I know I’ll find my peace here and every bad thought will disappear. You can see only words of love in here…
This day started with something great for me. I went well on something I had prepared for school and I really was afraid I would fail, but I went even better than I thought. You can imagine how it feels.
But after that I got so upset, especially at me. Upset for something regarding to my past. I have took a very good decision but in the meantime I was doubting on my self so much… Luckily I trust my intuition at the end no matter what happens…
You keep repeating me that I look so sweet to you and like my kind words, but I just wish I was more than that.
When you say such things to me I start thinking of my self as a strawberry cake and nothing more.
I think I have inherit this unwilling to see bad things from my grand mother, but I don’t like it.
I don’t like the way it feels, while you can see and feel just exactly what is going on and than you just don’t want to accept that.
At this point I should say that I own some apologizes to my dear intuition, which was precise in every single detail, giving me the perfect picture of the reality. As always. This week I’ve been helped so much from it. Wow! if only I could tell you, how great it feels to be at the right place in the right moment!
Well I guess it is time to fight some little demons, which are causing me troubles…Ain’t gonna be easy. Not at all!
I spoke about peace, which seems that this little wonderful oasis has a lot, because sometimes peace isn’t really what is needed to keep a strong flame well lighten up.
If we want to have a good teacher in our life, let it be nature itself. The most primitive and complex, the best teacher we can ever have, which is always going to be there. I find a great teacher in it because in it lies the soul of our Creator.”PERFECTION”. I am trying to find some equilibrium, and I know that Nature is always, in any moment, surrounded in and out by peace and harmony but it isn’t made only by that.
I think I just answered to many of my own questions this time.heheheheh Very important ones. ;)
Anyway the most important thing is to make the questions and wanting to know the answers. The rest will come to you. This is how I see it.
Sending some love to you. <3
Strawberry Cake ;PP
Olta:
I like your comments.
your core speaks through them :o)
hm, I like strawberry cake:
my mother could bake a great one …
good choice :o)
<3
“No matter how I might feel before I open this page and start, reading, replying or just writing comments, I know I’ll find my peace here and every bad thought will disappear.”
Dear Olta,
I think that it really reflects well what I also experience.
the energy and personality of each of you is there on the blog. it is as if I enter a huge room of people. the good part is, when I enter at night, all the “hand- and fingerprints” from you are there:”looks sometimes like a busy day …” and I have the feeling everybody is asleep. it’s so quiet.
it is a good feeling to be able to communicate with the world and catch your moods, your happiness and sorrows.
I always get a kick out of it when one of you brings some good news. then there is right a way a cascade of responses in all kind of variations (giggle).
Or also, when Annie lost her money, imagine how many pets she got from all of us. funny: would be hard to do it all in person: annie would have been exhausted after the storm :o)
O,Dear Olta ,so nice to know you going well with school ,but I get a very sad day with school.today I went to my son’s teacher and I was told my son got very low marks .I feel so sad .as I drove back home I couldn’t help my tears .I don’t know how to help him and I can’t understand why he always got low marks .the sad is no matter how I love my child I can’t live instead of him I can’t replace his suffering .maybe he is still very young and boy always like playing more than studying .but feel so ashamed before teacher feel so humilated !feel so hard to do a mommy and feel so confused how to teach child !many things can’t help !
ha ,really want to taste the Strawberry cake at least tonight!how much I wish I can return back to my single days.needn’t worry others except myself!
Happy for you !
Dear Olta
Continue of follow your intuition … and even if that makes you become not sweet with kind words, way of speaking. When one says the truth, depicts the reality, often the other does not receive it, and one is then judged not sweet and not pleasant. To “understand” equilibrium personally, one has to visit both sides and then with his consciousness choose. I personally believe that that is a learning to acquire in one’s life … to visit both sides in order to make the conscious choice to return to the Creator’s wisedom and intentions. I personally believe that one has to visit the dark, see and feel its demons in order then to be able to say “That I do not want, and this I want”. That gives strength, fidelity, power. Today, if he serpent would take to me to bring me to bite the apple, I would say “no, thanks. I prefer this world than the one that you are proposing me” …
Love, Jojo.
In the Metro
————–
thinking about smiling
smiling, smiling… sometimes difficult,
I don’t want to smile stiffly, don’t want it
to be fake.. trying to think happy thoughts,
funny thoughts and studying the passengers around.
Then it happends,
a woman meets my gaze
there’s a flash of recognition between souls
I quickly look away (shy)
continue my study of the passengers
but return to her now and then when she doesn’t
look my way
After a stop the wagon gets filled up and we stand
all squeezed up, some people hate it, others don’t care
I have the seats behind my back and feel ok.
the woman is gone?
then I see her, behind the back of a man who might be
as tall as I am. Grey hair half bald and looking sour,
staring out the window (or rather above) fixed gaze
stiff, non-smiling, so serious
but she is behind him
she meets my gaze, then looks up at his shoulders high up
with a small grimase (yes he takes a lot of space, don’t seem
to care he has someone behind him)
I smile at her and measure him with my gaze
laughter in my eyes
she smiles back
laughter in her eyes
Then she finally gets a seat
I step out and wave at her
she waves back
we didn’t exchange one word
and still we had a whole conversation.
Warriors of light.
nice…. :o)
looks like the metro in paris …
I remember: whenever I thought
the train was full and I stepped back.
ten other people entered afterward.
never thought that so many people
would still fit in.
so great to hear! bon chance x
keep it up
& i wish 4 you all the best :)

I don’t agree that love or friendship can break your heart or soul.
God has given me both to take good care of it and I don’t allow anybody to take this present of God. I am suffering but that’s all, as time goes by and Iam recovered.
Everywhere I look around people at work or in privacy try to break the other, because they have let themselfs to be broken.
Therofore nobody says the truth, because they are afraid of the other and the circumstances get worst, mainly for the helpless people. (I am a nurse and can watch it all day long)
I defend myself whenever I can. And about the consequences I care later.
I look everywhere arount where I have the liberty to decide
for myself without harm my neighbour.
.
I have a recently broken heart, but although that’s how I feel I do agree with you Karin.
Still grieving, but when love is true it’s impossible to take your heart or love back once it is freely given.
If you meddle with worldly affairs then you have to suffer worldly consequences, and that’s being human.
The woman I love but will not be with sent me this yesterday, and I think it sums things up pretty well…
“When physical proximity no longer supports the highest level of teaching and learning between them the assignment will call for physical seperation… …what appears to be the end of the relationship is not the end, they are eternal as not body or mind but energy. Bodies joining may not denote real joining since joining is of the mind… …people who are many miles apart may not be seperate at all.” from “On a return to love” by Marianne Williamson.
mmmm,,
i don’t agree cuz being hurted
it sometimes it’s not in our hands!!!
with all respect

Prezado Paulo, como seria bom se todas as culturas utilizassem esta máxima da HONESIDADE como os búlgaros. Além de anteciparem para certos contratempos, nos faria pensar em soluções. Penso que, se todos os lugares adotassem esta idéia, grande parte do mundo resolveria algumas questões sociais. É claro que existe os costumes do local que estão enraizados, mas a HONESTIDADE por ser um ato simples que ocasiona muitas transformações ao seu redor. Vejamos, no Brasil a honestidade existe, está presente, mas não sabemos utilizá-la, não são os políticos que são desonestos como todos dizem (até eu), mas somos nós mesmos que deixamos de utilizar a honestidade. Penso numa frase antiga que ouço desde criança “a gente dá um jeitinho” máxima levada como um hino por nós brasileiros. Brasil a terra do Jeitinho… . As vezes até funciona, mas as vezes o tiro sai pela “culatra”…
Um grande abraço.

Dear Jessica
Yes, have faith, it is the only way. The other day I was at church and suddenly I began crying, it was out of joy and love, but a girl sitting on the bench right in front of me didn’t know. So, she approached to me and told me what I needed to hear: have faith and everything will be solved. Her care for me was a balm even based on a misunderstanding. I recall that over the past few months God has never left me alone in time of despair and has always sent angels to confort me. I have no problems loving, but I do have problems trusting and that’s why everybody ‘s been telling me to be faithful.
Love
Adriana
On your way to do the Enigma? the Quest of the Sword? Then you are the 5th person I know of! Have fun! God Bless!!

Mis teeb inimese teisest halvemaks?
On see ta välimus, hing või muu?
Mis teeb mind teistest halvemaks?
Ometi ei leia ma erilist suurt.
Kõigil on miskit, mis piinab,
midagi, mis teistest on puut’.
Aga miks nad ei taha näha
kui minus on midagi muud?

What makes a person worse than another?
Is it their looks, soul or something else?
What makes me worse than others?
Yet I cannot find anything big.
Everyone has something, that torments,
something, which lacks from others.
But why wouldn’t they see,
if there is something else in me.

Liina
Because they are acting out of fear. It’s armour that they use to protect them from the mirror we hold up when we show our love, because they hate the reflection that shows the gaps in their life that they need to close, but it is a reflection only they can see. They don’t realise that hate will not free you from love.
Lovely words Liina.
With love, Daniel
i’m no good in admiration, never have been.
That doesn’t mean i’m incapable of showing respect and gratitude or say thank you very nicely, but plain adoration makes me feel very very uncomfortable.
So i’m no good as a fan.
i’d rather bite of my tongue than admit to adoring.
Secretly i do have a small hand full of heroes of course. People i truly admire.
One of them is HH the Dalai Lama.
Last spring i jumped over my shadow and bought a ticket to listen to Him for a day in Amsterdam RAI.
Now you have to know that i was raised an atheist and i am one to the core. In my family we consider religion opium for the people.
What is she doing on this blog then, you might wonder, and right you are, i wonder too….
i wonder too why i went to Amsterdam and sat on that bloody uncomfortable chair all day long doing nothing beside listen and watch and why i can’t describe what it did to me in any other way than that i happen to love the Dalai Lama.
Just a silly fan after all…..
Yes
And even more yes because i’ve just found HH the Dalai Lama on Twitter.
And added him.
And you know what happens next?
You won’t believe it!
i am still sitting here grinning and shaking my head….
for he added me too!
QOTD: “Whoever excludes others will find himself excluded in turn.” ~His Holiness, the Dalai Lama 1:02 AM Jan 30th from web
Now there is an angle to it obviously
the angle is that i am the 110,955th person His HH follows.
But that doesn’t matter, does it!
The message is loud and clear, and all i have to do is to believe it. Right……
Montega,
nice story: twittering with the Dalai Lama
& how Montega becomes a fan :o)
big hug
enjoyed reading it
-k
RIGHT!
sorry ,who is Dalai lama ?is that one who ran away from Tibet ? some one told me :to Tibet he is like Bin leden to American and he is very very wealth !is it the same one ?that must not or I ‘m wrong .I don’t think dear Montega would admire that kind of person .because if someone is really so perfect to be admired by so wise as you who must be spoken nice by most of people in the world and at least not be compared with Ben leden !I think every one should admire peace first than violent !must not the same one as I am told!
good luck ,dear Montega ,nice to see you happy !
:) hm – is that what you think of me….
greetings from non-fan-land
thats such a nice thing to do isn’t it. It’s just like Him to remind us that we are all the same, humans with a heart and a soul:)
I loved your comments dear Montega……I am in love with God and I am happy with the fact…I respect you as a person because after all we are all fighting for a greater cause.
Love
Monica
live EVIL or die slowly with the PAIN!!!!!
sometimes it’s not the family’s fault
sometimes it’s cuz of the people around him/her
or even cuz of himself/herself!!!!!
it’s soo hard
Honey find your happiness and let everyone make their own choices, if they prefer the darkness so be it.
Dear friends, I think the Blog is … Magical! Have you noticed that everyone of us has pleasant news? A new job [Savita], a new life, a degree -like Liina, a poem competition winner[Santosh] and so many others I do not remember now. [The only 'Black spot' was Annie's stealing her money from her card; ;-]]
Paulo Coelho, our Magus, may have to tell us a ..story of us, being under his umbrella. The … learning Magicians!!!!
LOVE and Light,
Thelma xxx
Thelma,
I have to say I totally agree! For me, I found life a bit of a struggle, not wanting to conform to society. Then one day Paulo’s books miraculously came to me and then his blog in 2006 (which was a different format back then.) Since then my life has been full of magic and miracles and has totally transformed and every day it is brilliant to click on to this website and read all the joy and miracles happening in everyone else’s life too.
We are most definitely creating magic with our lives and owe it all to Paulo : )
Love
Alex

Thelma,
I agree that we are true Warrior of the Lights!
There is no doubt about it. :)
God blesses all of us.
You’re so right, Thelma, magic inhabits this blog. I’ve felt that countless times.

Well, not all is there. Whenon a bus in Bulgaira:
* You need to buy tickets for your bags as well or you’ll be fined. I wasn’t told so when I bought the bus ticket, but I was made to pay a fine on the bus. No explanation given, just money collected and full stop!
Still feeling angry when I think of that! Needless to say, haven’t visited since. Nice roast chicken though.
Dear all,
One good news to share:
I won one small poetry contest,

Hi, friends!
I am very happy to announce that I recently finished my Bachelor degree in Special Education. This was the big project I had been talking about in my earlier posts. This step is behind me now, but I have no idea yet, what will be happening next (beside hopefully finding a job).
The way I happened to go to study this speciality was a miracle for me. First getting there (to that city) and secondly to be able to find out so much about myself.
Before going to the city where I was going to study in, a year before I saw some dreams with certain places I didn’t recognise. When I moved to the cit I one day walked on a certain street and suddenly remembered the dream I had, because the street and its objects looked exactly like in my dream. Although I had never been to this city before. This was a big sign for me – this was meant to be.
Another amazing thing happened. When I started to study, I had some lectures to remind me of a past happening that I had buried deep inside my unconcious, because of its nature – at that time I guess it was the only way, because I was so young. I did it to protect myself. I wasn’t able to deal with it back then. Anyway, I was reminded of it in some lectures and that made me revalue and reassess some things in my life, and it was a turning point for me. I started to change, and I also learnt not to make the same mistake again – not to bury things, but to deal with them. The first years of my school were like a psychotherapy for me, I was learning more about life than in school, and this affected my studies deeply.
As it shows now, too – I got in in year 2003 sept., but only now were able to finish my degree, in 2010, January. I can say, I was more attendant in the school of life. (Right now by the school system Bachelors degree should be normally finished in 3 years) I know my parents have suffered because of my actions, but only recently were I able to explain them, why things went how they went. And to my relief, they were very understanding.
This stage of my life is behind now, but life doesn’t stop here.
Have a great week, all!
Be well,
Liina
Congratulations Liina. You deserve it!
Love
xx :)
Liina,
Congrats again!!! I am still so happy for you :-) You chose the path, were heavily tested, and came out the other side better. Now it’s time to open a new door. You will choose well because you know how to see the signs. Right?
Looking forward to Melk :-)
Love and beaming light to you,

Love
Alexandra
So happy for you Liina. Thanks for sharing your joy, your path. And I can relate to what you went through in part, since me too in my formation that made me discover so much about myself, my destructive path, and that permitted me also to come back in relation with my mother and tell her the source of my difficulty in relation to her, and that made me so much happy and gave me so much freedom. Wish you the best for the following steps.
Love, Jojo.
hay you go! well done & I’m sure you will find a great job :)
Congratulation,Liina!happy to share good news with you!:-)

Congratulations Liina; I am sure you feel so much satisfaction now. Enjoy the minute and soon you will have another goal in front of you..
LOVE,
Thelma xxx
Thanks to all of You for Your warm and joyful support. I have had many sleepless nights to do this. And now I am very happy that now the situation is in the stage it is.
I wish whatever You may set to accomplish, on Your way, that it will be a possible, doable way.
I wish that even if You have doubts or fears, that You would overcome them (, because we are often stronger than we might think) and continue Your journey.
I wish that You would joyfully be on Your way, with enthusiasm, and with love, and also gratitude for whatever lesson may wait for You on the way.
Usually there is a reason. It’s up to us if we take notice and try to understand.
Thanks again,
Liina
Liina,
Congratulations! I wish you all the best in life.
much love
CarmenMaria
Thanks Jessica…
that’s a good quote to remember x
I wrote this “poem” (if you can call it a poem, I´m no poet and I don´t really like poetry), dedicated to a dear friend of mine who was killed by her own husband. And he was a medicine doctor supposed to save lives…
Cage (title)
You´re the cat and I´m the bird
Turn me around with your tongue and mew
Taste, hurry up!
I´m lying still the way you like
Chew the fruit of your treachery,
cause more pain
Spit out the seeds and I´ll rise again
Why should I fight?
The bird´s weight will never bend the cat
Paw me, scratch every pit you can find
Use the cat´s instinct and make up your mind
Take it or leave it!
Aren´t you tired of me?
I hoped you´d be
Maybe one day the cat will set the bird free…
losing a lover it’s so hard cuz it bleed the heart
but it doesnt hurt as much as losing a friend cuz it break the soul!!!
love
Haneen <3
Hmmm, once in a class, while being asked a similar question, I said, the worst is losing your friend who was taking away your lover too…
But theres a reverse: maybe she(the friend) do not know what expects her( from the lover)…
The mates were laughing, thinking was about me. Was not, I read it in a magazine.
Dear WOL,

Beautiful! Thank you, dear Warrior of Light Santosh.
Marie-Christine – one question:
when you do your “artsy” short comments that look as if they do not belong to any language at all, I realized that sometimes it becomes very clear when one reads a word from the back.
However, do you also use Urban Language? for example, in your last entry on the weekly quote:

Hi guys,
Just realised that I have had my blog running now for a year!! Woo! With just over 2000 hits; that’s 5-6 hits per day lol… So happy birthday fanfiction blog – maybe it is time to delete you!
Anyway – I came up with a funny quote today; but in essence I signify the deeper meaning: If humans were not blessed with a brain we would be as useful as jelly fish.
Hi Kealan!
Your fanfiction blog is unique and I have enjoyed visiting several times. Keep up the good work, I don’t see one single reason to delete it. Perhaps if you would get Paulo to write or visit once in awhile, your hits could double, triple, quadruple :))
I just kissed a jelly fish and made 3 wishes ;))
Some time back I read stories on your blog, they were great. I read few funny lines in “This Side of Paradise”
by F.Scott Fitzgerald: like
“There is no such thing as a strong sane criminal”
or
“…a healthy man has twice the chance of being good”and more” Ghosts are such dumb things, said Alec’they re slow-witted”.
???
Love
Alexandra
Happy birthday to your BLOG, dear Kealan.
LOVE, Thelma xxx
thanks guys “blush” … I do not actually write enough for the blog it keep it interesting… so I am not supprised that I have so few readers… But I don’t care as long as one or two people tune in from time to time :)
Dear Warrior of Light,
I was reading your newsletter from the streets of Sofia, Bulgaria. I am born in this country and I appreciate the soft tone with which you are trying to present the harsh facts about the crazy lifestyle in our capital.
I wish you could see more, of the true colors and traditions of my small, but beautiful country, the wisdom of the Rila lakes, that inspire the soul to search the unity of the universe; the beautiful Bulgarian voices, that echo through the hills all across the mountain to reach the Black sea. It is an echo of authenticity, heroism of the ancient warriors of the Golden Bulgarian Age, when bordering three seas, fighting bravely every battle- for honor and light. Sofia is a mere reflection of urban society and is far away from the true sight of the ancient spirits of an ancient culture. I wish I could guide you one day through the beautiful sites of my country.
With respect and honor, leaving a comment on your page.
Sincerely,
Petar
Petar,
what a beautiful description of your country :o)
I really liked it to read.
yeah, big cities and post offices :o)
are so similar all over the world ….
Dear All,
I am searching for quotes, poems or short stories about love and/or marriage! Any of you who have such an idea that springs to mind, please post here and I would be grateful.
Here, I will start and share an Apache Wedding Blessing that I find very beautiful:
Now you will feel no rain,
For each of you will be shelter to the other
Now you will feel no cold,
For each of you will be warmth to the other,
Now there will be no loneliness,
for each of you will be companion to the other,
Now you are two bodies,
But there is only one life before you.
Go now and enter into the days of your life together.
And may all your days be good
And long upon the earth.
I love the one from Mark Twain, Adam and Eve (“Extracts from Adams Diary)…Is the best in my opinion, esspecially their reason for loving each other.
Depends if you want happy thing, or not…
What are you looking for?
That’s gorgeous! Thank you.
Here there are some quotes:
The source is The Celebrate-your-Life Quote Book by Allen Klein.
Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies. Aristotle.
For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed , but my soul. Judy Garland.
The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary thing called love and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it, you will discover that for you the world is transformed. J. Krishnamurti.
Love doesn’t make the world go round.
Love is what makes the ride worthwhile. Franklin P. Jones.
The cure for all ills and wrongs, the cares, the sorrows, and the crimes of humanity, all lie in the word love. It is the divine vitality that everywhere produces and restores life. Lydia Maria Child.
Love is the immortal flow of energy that nourishes, extends and preserves. Its eternal goal is life. Smiley Blanton.
Where there is love there is life. Mahatma Gandhi.
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength; loving someone deeply gives you courage. Lao Tzu.
Blessings
Adriana
Nicholas,
do you need still poems?
Like a mountain whirlwind
punishing the oak trees,
love shattered my heart.
~Sappho (7-6 century BC)
I find my love fishing
His feet in the shallows.
We have breakfast together
And drink beer.
I offer him the magic of my thighs
He is caught in the spell.
~Anonymous Hieroglyphic Text (ca. 1500 BC)

Dear WOL, last night was such a magical night. The moon was shinning with all her splendor, showing the majestuosity of God’s creations. The night was so cold in South Texas, the wind was howling furiously as I was been bathed by the light. I was meditating under her light.
I come to learn that in Native American tradition January’s moon is known as the Wolf Moon. It seems I was right at feeling the urge of going outside and bathe under the moon. I think I had the right idea as I found this poem on the internet that I wanted to share with you.
A Perigee Moon in Leo (1/29/10)
A Perigee Moon in Leo,
Our Earth’s natural satellite
Will be brighter and larger than ever
tonight in the clear starlit night.
This Full Moon in the Fire sign of Leo,
is a reminder that we need to supply
warmth and action to keep us balanced.
It conjuncts with Mars in retrograde.
Mar’s retrograde stifles the impulse
to just be and to lighten up a little.
So take the power from this Perigee Moon,
into your being, try to just be in the moment.
Fill your soul with this brightest moon’s rays
lend an ear to the wind whispering
soft and gentle encouragement
of words that tickle your fancy.
Know that the Moon is smiling down at you
giving you permission to “just Be”
release all inhibitions that tie you to the past
find the freedom of letting go.
shine along with the moonbeams
filling your mind with
replenishing thoughtful waves
of sensible reasoning.
Let this Perigee moon guide your heart
let the rhythm of the Universe
play along with you,
frolicking like when you were once a child.
Moonbeams are food for our dreams,
allowing us to see clearly during our sleep
and reminding us of the most
glorious evening known to mankind!
A Perigee Moon In Leo (1/29/10) (c)
Amber “V” Moonstone
Well, I can see this full Wolf Moon tonight (in Germany).
It is really splendid and powerfull!
wouuuuuouuuuuuuuw!!!
:DDDDDDD
So happy to be a Leo now. Thank you dear Monica! It was so meaningful to me. :DD
Love
Olta
Olta and CG, thanks for the nice reply. I hope you are getting the good energy from the new sign.
Love
Monica
I keep the Gospels in one place next to my bad, very close. So when I go to sleep and have to pray before, whenever I feel sad, scared, or think that God has putted me into a hard test, I take it in my hands to read it or just holding it. I know I’ll get consolation or have the answers of what I am looking for, find the the peace I am looking for.
These days I’ve noticed that it was missing. :DD My mom had it. Yesterday she was reading to me the parts she had been reading from Paul’s Gospel.
It regarded the bad and the good seeds, the bad and the good trees, the bad and the good peoples. Telling that bad seeds can only bring other bad ones. And good seeds can only bring good ones.
Actually I was just hoping that all this could be differently…
When Paulo posted the “Why do we hate Paulo Coelho?” there was a lot of people criticizing his oeuvre and his fans.
Now I don’t want to say that they all are bad seeds, I would be too wrong. That is their way to see things, but I just wanted to say: Look at who Paulo has gathered around the world and here in this Blog. Most of us we are women but still those who take part on the discussions of this blog, are great persons. Here you can find all kind of values, but most important of all is Love. We keep sharing so much love. His wol are the living proof of the greatness of Paulo’s oeuvre. One must be blind or just to persistent to not see this. I’d like to use another term translated from Albanian it comes out “footstick”, heheheheheh, someone who is persistent.
We are so lucky to have and share so much love and care between us!
Love to all
Olta Ana <3
Great idea, I had that too, but now have no place to put it near…I changed home and furniture not mine(it was there), so all to be search…till I get used.
Thanks for sharing, is good to remember to pray
Love
Alexandra
Hay Olta Ana… I have to say you are totally right – we are so fortunate to have this wonderful little community here
Olta Ana,
You are so sweet and I love reading your blogs and comments along with the others here. There is a kinship between us. You bring a soft beautiful light to us, thank you.
Lainee
Dear Ana, your post made for me thought of the philosophic tale of ” the donkey, the old man and the child who asks the question on “the art of the criticism” although we did !…Inspiring :))
The old man had taken his ass.
Before reaching the market, they had to cross several villages.
Arriving near the first village, the old man asked the boy to get on the donkey while he himself walked behind.
He also asked the boy to listen carefully to everything that was said about them.
During the crossing of the village, some people began to comment:
- No, but look what a little kid! Is it possible to fail at this point of etiquette? He struts about the ass while his old grandfather pain while walking behind.
Once they were out of town, the old man asked the boy:
- Have you really heard what people say?
- Yes “replied the boy, I heard.
They continued their march.
Once they were at the entrance to the second village, the old man asked the boy descendre.Il got himself on the donkey and asked the boy to follow him on foot.
In the village, people began to comment:
-Look at this old man without a heart! He left this little boy walking in the blistering sun while lounging himself on his ass!
Once they were out of town, the old man asked the boy if he had heard what people were saying.
the boy replied in the affirmative.
-This time, let the donkey walk in front and follow it on foot.
They went well in the third village.
Again, people began to make comments.
-Watch a little these two fools! They have a donkey and places to enjoy, they prefer to walk under the blistering sun.
On leaving the village, the old man asked the boy,
-have you heard what they said?
yes-grandfather said the boy
-Upon entry of the next village, we assemble both on the ass.
They went that way in the fourth village.
immediately rang out new comments:
Oh! but look at those two! They do not even have mercy on this poor animal!
What a pain in the ass having to bear a burden so heavy!
Once they were out of this village, the old man again asked the boy if he had heard the comments.
“I obviously grandfather said the boy.
Hehe !….
Light & Love,
