The best naked writer (satirical TV show)

by Paulo Coelho on May 12, 2010

A Brazilian TV show gave me this Tuesday 12/05 the award of “the best naked writer”. Coelho in Portuguese = Rabbit. To see the show (4 min) in Portuguese, click here
To be on the safe side: the person in the program is an actor

Viva os Cassetas e Planetas! Nunca achei que meus talentos além da literatura seriam reconhecidos! Clique aqui para o segmento inteiro (4 min)

Oi Guerreiro!

Fico tão feliz qdo te encontro on no twitter, nas manhãs qdo está tdo quietinho ainda…:-)
Não tenho te encontrado no twitter cedinho pelas manhãs, snif, pois vc está em Cannes e nossos fusos estão diferentes, então vim aqui conversar.:-)

Gosto dos Cassetas, mto engraçados, q legal vc colocar aqui…o riso e o sorriso são algumas das melhores armas dos guerreiros.

Estou acompanhando as novis de Cannes pelo seu twitter…Então BRIDA vai virar filme?? Mal posso esperar, amo BRIDA!
BRIDA e “Veronika decide morrer” são os teus livros que eu mais gosto, que mais tocaram meu coração, os mesu preferidos há muitos anos. Releio ambos periodicamente.

Tem uma frase de Brida que eu tô colocando há dias no meu twitter, que é “Às vezes, certas bênçãos de Deus entram estilhaçando todas as vidraças”.

Tenho refletido muito nisso…algumas pedras que transformam em caquinhos nossas frágeis vidraças são pedras preciosas. Estilhaçam tudo qdo são jogadas nas nossas janelas e telhados, mas depois, qdo vamos limpar a bagunça e ver o que foi que causou o estrago, descobrimos q a pedra era uma benção disfarçada de tragédia.

Vi no seu twitter q vc leu o texto do qrido Pe. Fabio de Melo sobre os ataques da internet, tbém achei mto bom, sei o qto vc sofre com isso tbém.
Mas se tem mta gente q te odeia e usa o anonimato covarde para atacar, tem muito mais gente que gosta muito de vc, como eu, e mesmo que vc não saiba quantos são os que te admiram e te amam (nem sei se consegue ler todos os comentários), esse carinho vira energia e proteção para vc.
Do mesmo jeito que existe o ataque e o ódio anônimo, tbém existe o amor e o carinho anônimos, tenha certeza que o amor é sempre maior…:-)

Já comentei várias vezes com vc o qto gosto do Pe. Fabio.
Tem um trechinho de um livro dele q eu gosto demais, vou deixar aqui pra vc: (até pensei em te mandar por e-mail, q seria mais apropriado do que escrever aqui, mas creio que aqui é + fácil de vc ler um dia, espero que goste)

“Não tenho nada que prove a existência de Deus, mas mesmo assim Ele continua sendo o absoluto dos meus dias.
Nunca choveu maná no quintal de minha casa e a imagem que tenho da Virgem Maria nunca derramou uma lágrima.
O que tenho aqui é esta mão machucada, este dedo sangrando, este nó na garganta, este humano desconsolo, esta dor, esta cor e este olhar desconcertante de Deus, deixando-me sem jeito, ao dizer que me ama.” (Padre Fabio de Melo, no livro “Quando o sofrimento bater à sua porta”, Editora Canção Nova, pág. 47.)

Desejo uma ótima viagem, e dias lindos sempre.

Deus te ilumine Guerreiro!

Bjão!

How funny!

But also true.
You’re naked in your books
….and live almost naked.
It’s a courageous way of life that needs to be honoured.

So: Congratulations!

great humor…
hm, not Peter the rabbit but Paulo … what a great last name, and a well fitting totem animal (giggle):

“Rabbits normally live alone in the wild, making their homes by burrowing underground. Rabbits are curious animals who like to explore their surroundings. They live on a few acres of land & become familiar with every square inch. They are territorial creatures who will fight over their piece of land. Their eyes can see in every direction, so they will watch a bird in the air while watching a predator on the ground. When aroused, their ears stand up. All these characteristics combined with their willingness to run away, are what rabbits use to defend themselves against predators.

Rabbit is often connected with fear because they are timid and constantly on guard. Rabbit wants us to learn how to face our fear and know when to defend our space or walk away.

Rabbit shows us that defending ourselves doesn’t always involve fighting back. He teaches us to listen carefully to what is going on in our environment so we can accurately use our intuition when in danger.”

I’m wondering if this is REALLY an actor! Perhaps it’s the lie that speaks the truth! :D

Nakedness… in satire or parody (in Canada, called the birthday suit!)

“Come to this street with
only your sweet fragrance.
Don’t walk into this river
wearing a robe!
Paths go from here to there,
but don’t arrive from somewhere!
It’s time now to live naked.”
- Rumi

Heart-centered, nakedness. Beautiful. The beauty of what you love, is in what you do. Thank you Paulo.

Glad they see it too! Thank you for sharing this video.

Love and Blessings, Jane xo

wow Paulo está bueno el que te representaba pero estoy segura que tu estás mejor.
Estuve esperando a que los que tocaban la guitarra hicieran el movimiento típico de separarla pero no ha ocurrido ¡que pene! todavía existe mucha censura y pudor.
Ha estado fenomenal. Gracias por compartir estas risas.
