Dear Sir,

I love your heart and I just know that you are one of those rare elevated souls who is guided from within..by what is called in the scriptures as the paramatma.. the super soul..Each of your books addresses human quest to seek that eternal love and all that surrounds it..and the stories are the vessels to reach the hearts..Thank you to be kind enough to share so much with us…God bless you, Kind Regards, Sneha, Mauritius.

and what else if not a river bed for a love that is unbinding, flowing and not stagnant…? couldn’t have been a pond… or lake… or sea… it had to be a river for it does not block the flow of its own water ever!
Beautifully penned thoughts maestro…! could feel the comforting gentle water currents nestling your love in themselves !!

La natura è arte
nessun artista potrà mai emularla,
ma con il suo aiuto ogni opera creata dall’uomo
potrà diventare unica.
L’uomo in sintonia con la terra, gli artisti in sintonia con l’universo.

Paulo,

This is such an act of supreme love and display of deep Zen affection. “enlightment comes by sudden experience.” Hui-neng

This seems like one of those surprises of joy and light by doing the simple, beautiful things in life. Continue, it is another pilgrimage for you and a road for us to follow.

Obrigada Paulo, por nos deixar compartilhar de sua vida, nos mostrando quanto é importante deixar o amor fluir livremente,seguro,sadio,sem traumas. Parabéns pela fantástica idéia, a obra é profunda como a ternura e transparência das águas. Laura/Esperança

The “pirate” Paulo hiding a “treasure” — not on a deserted island — but in a running brook under stones…oh this is just superb.

With loving kindness,

Dear Paulo,

It shows that you are a true husband ! :)

I am sorry but it sounded
as if “hiding my wife…”

I hope you will have long
lasting friendship/relationship

and I do admire the work… Christina Oiticica does…

“truly amazing art and great artist”

Happy Summer !

c admirable!c emouvant!
et en + c ideal chez un couple quand chaque partenaire apprecie et participe a la creativite de l’autre.
je trouve que c ca le veritable enrichissement.
si je ne me trompe pas,le panneau execute par votre epouse est de la peinture sur soie.les couleurs fusent admirablement,vs etiez entrain de fixer les couleurs
1000 merci M.coelho de ns sensibiliser -qulques minutes chaque jour a la beaute des mots et aussi a la beaute des formes et des couleurs.

Thanks for sharing, It is the partnership I booked the ticket for. Support, sharing but not possessing.
I love your books, Christinas Art is great. How could it be diffrent as you both live in the free spirit of feeling, the flow is open for creation.
It is great.
In Light sending you Love Marie
