Painting is an art.
And art is a power that should be aimed at developing the soul.
If art does not do this job, the abyss that separates us from God is left without a bridge.
The artist owes his talent to God and has to settle this debt.
To do this, he has to work hard, know that he is free in his art but not in his commitment to life.
Everything he feels and thinks is part of the raw material with which to improve the spiritual atmosphere around him.
Beauty, whether in art or in a woman, cannot be empty; it has to be at the service of humankind and the world.
The true work of art is born from the ‘artist’: a mysterious, enigmatic, and mystical creation.
It detaches itself from him, it acquires an autonomous life, becomes a personality, an independent subject, animated with a spiritual breath, the living subject of a real existence of being.
The artist is not a ‘Sunday child’ for whom everything immediately succeeds. He does not have the right to live without duty. The task that is assigned to him is painful, it is a heavy cross for him to bear.
There is no must in art because art is free.

accually i dont have a comment,just wana say the way you explain it makes words so ‘BEAUTIFULL’
El color , la luz, las formas y la composición de sus cuadros son pura poesía. Mirar una obra suya de cerca te transmite multitud de sensaciones. Sus obras son un regalo para vista y para el alma.
Un artista crea para el público,y para si, pero se debe motivar, tener sensaciones, los artistas captan las cosas antes, deben de ver que lo que aportan sirve,sino en cambio, si captan malas vibraciones, no crearan.
yes u r rite only artist think like this and u r too a great artist
The art is the reflection of soul fellings in timeless dimention.. show us the truth of humankind to creation..
Salve Paulo;
Como é de costume sábias palavras.
Essa é minha ponte e tem um significado simbólico muito importante para mim. É como kandinsky fez notar. Engraçado a semelhança fonética de meu nome Krauniski com Kandinsky.

Everything done with love is art
Heart.
“Technically, every work of art comes into being in the same way as the cosmos – by means of catastrophes, which ultimately create out of the cacophony of the various instruments that symphony we call the music of the spheres. The creation of the work of art is the creation of the world.” Wassily Kandinsky.
I was searching in the Internet Kandinsky’s biography. He was an amazing man. A Researcher of the Truth. A Theosophist. The above sentence reminds me what I had written here a few days ago about … cacophony, symphony and … MELODY = μελωδία and CREATION! Vibrations, Geometry, the mixing of the colors. He was a MYSTIC and an .. ALCHEMIST! Every creation of ART in any form, I think, is the Creation of a new … UNIVERSE, Cosmos. A book, your books, dearest Paulo Coelho are your creations and we are so lucky to … enter in them and touch the SOUL of the World, the Rose.
LOVE,

I think Kandinsky took what “had become” ordinary, the point, the line and the plane – and reminded us that they are extraordinary!
The best quote I ever read about painting as an art is; “A painting in a museum probably hears more foolish remarks than anything else in the world.” – (Edmond and Jules De Goncourt).
Three years ago I was lucky enough to catch one of the biggest collections of Kandinsky’s work in Munich one cold Christmas. I have to say it was wonderful in every way and I was able as a viewer to mentally chew through all of the years of his work from beginning to end.
“It detaches itself from him, it acquires an autonomous life, becomes a personality, an independent subject, animated with a spiritual breath, the living subject of a real existence of being.”
I will never forget when this moment occurred with my dream.
It finally ended a long period to get it “out of the gut”, to deliver the “child”.
at the moment it became autonomous, it has taught me. my thinking about it and my perception has been influenced by it. it teaches me to grow.
& darn … I am now limping behind it. it’s me now who brings the constraints and have to recognize again and again how my weaknesses are tripping me.
it is safe, but not me.
:o) <3
Much of what we term art is the creation of the madness of the mind that believes in and perpetuates the so called abyss…
The recognition of our divinity and inherent beauty allows us to express that truth in all our endevours be it art, business, sport or just living a beautiful life…
When mind is master
Then all manner of madness
is made to matter
Be very careful
Perception is conception
Mind what you give life
Be true to feeling
The heart of your life’s purpose
Mind it’s unfolding
Where is the beauty
When you are living your truth
It shines from within
You make it perfect
With appreciation of
It’s inherent truth
Manifestation
Reflects inherent quality
That is its beauty
Marvelous Mystery
How I look is what I see
Coming back to me
Painting you happy
With my bright colourful words
How I love this hue
beautiful touched my heart .
Loved your thoughts on Paulo Coelho blog :))))
How I love this hue
When Heart is master
no need to muster the courage
to paint you happy
how I love this hue..

Good night!!

Thanks for sharing Thelma….my skin just shivered listening to it =)
It’s got rythme and blues!
Beautiful description of art. For me art is many things, and yes it definitely develops the soul of people who make it. A heavy cross to bear but also a joy for those who make it and those who enjoy it.
To understand the art is to understand the soul of an artist.
Thank you,
With love

Guerreiro amado, gostei mto do q escreveu.
Quem tem a arte na alma, como vc, carrega mesmo um peso, de lapidar o q sente até transformar em jóia visível a outros olhos.
Esse texto me fez refletir bastante. Pq todo ser humano tem vida e sentimentos suficientes como matéria-prima para fazer arte, mas poucos possuem o dom. Como saber o que é o dom? Como saber q transferir e mais, expor ao mundo, sentimentos, seja escrevendo, pintando, dançando, será mesmo uma forma de tornar o mundo melhor ou é apenas um desejo de auto-afirmação do se considera um talento?
Eu escrevo tbém, mas só para mim. Uma época escrevia um blog mas depois passou a me incomodar pq eu não sou artista, e somente os artistas tem esse talento de desnudar a alma em público. Há sentimentos q não vejo como possam ser úteis ao mundo. Então escrevo só para aliviar a alma. Lendo suas palavras agora, creio q poderia cha,ar a isso de arte invisível. A arte invisivel aos outros, mas qdo escrevo deixo no papel minhas trevas , e deixar prevalecer para o mundo exterior o lado luminoso q todos temos. Quem escreve desnuda a alma. Penso em vc , que põe tanta emoção e vida em cada livro, cada frase, acho q vc está quite com Deus nesse aspecto, pq desenvolveu tanto seu dom, q ele é fonte de amor para milhões.
Como fazer para descobrir nossos dons, vc sabe Guerreiro? Não pode ser apenas o q gostamos de fazer, como saber?
Obrigada pelas reflexões q trouxe, como sempre, com suas palavras.
Semana abençoada pra vc, sua família, todos q vc ama.
Que Nossa Senhora te abençoe e proteja sempre
Deus te ilumine Guerreiro
Amo vc S2
uma das artes mais dificies e a dos pensadores q se encontram em meio a cultura do dinheiro, mequinharia
e predios enormes.
eles so queriam terra pra andar e um abrigo no meio ao caminho, + são julgados como doentes,doidos, fracos
e os entopem de remedios. Acredito q alguns dons sejão carmas bem pessado, afinal ninguem escolhe o pais em
que vai nascer.
As pessoas genias q não entendem seu don fatalmente acabom por embarcar em viajens erradas mais de grande
importancia em seus desenvolviventos, ou não.
La vita, e’l'arte che ha il potere di farci ascoltare l’anima di tutto cio’ che ci circonda,adoro le diverse forme di arte…la scrittura ,la musica,la pittura,la scultura,il semplice lavoro di ogni uomo,perche’ se svolto con amore ed etica, ricerca l’anima e l’essenza nel suo operato .Questo fa si’che si ricerchino armonie perdute*
Kandinsky makes me wanna…..
throw everything aside and pave the way to become an artist…. ooooops I did that already, but it makes me wanna do it again.
I get a glimpse of understanding now why those married couples get married with each other a 2nd time… hahaha
Anyway, Kandinsky uses words in such a majestic way that I ask if he was a writer or a painter.
Love,
Yilmaz
To start a day is just like painting;
draw the lines with prayers;
erase errors with forgiveness,
dip dip d brush with lots of patience,
color it with love.
Funny how I had a philosophical discussion about these two points with my father yesterday, but we delved more in 2] :o)
1]”The artist owes his talent to God and has to settle this debt.
To do this, he has to work hard, know that he is free in his art but not in his commitment to life.”
and
2] “The true work of art is born from the ‘artist’: a mysterious, enigmatic, and mystical creation.
It DETACHES itself from him, it acquires an AUTONOmOUS life, becomes a personality, an independent subject, animated with a spiritual breath, the living subject of a real existence of being.”
Thank you so much Paulo !

This is so beautifully said. We are God’s sparks and whatever our talents may be, they do not belong to us, but to everybody. It is beautiful when an artist understands that he is only an instrument through which God manifests himself.
Personnage de la semaine : Kandinsky
La peinture est un art.
Et l’art est un pouvoir qui devrait etre dirige a developper l’ame.
Si l’ame ne fait pas son travail, l’abisme qui nous separe de Dieu est laisse sans un pont.
L’artiste doit son talent a Dieu et doit payer sa dette.
Pour faire cela, il doit se depenser beaucoup dans son travail, savoir qu’il est libre dans son art mais pas dans son engagement a la vie.
Tout ce qu’il ressent et pense fait partie de la matiere premiere avec laquelle il ira ameliorer l’atmosphere spirituelle autour de lui.
La beaute, soit dans l’art ou chez une femme, ne peut pas etre vide, elle doit etre au service de l’humanite et du monde.
Le vrai travail de l’art vient de “l’artiste”: une creation
mysterieuse, enigmatique et mystique.
Elle se detache de lui, elle acquiert une vie autonome, devient une personnalite, un sujet independant, anime par un souffle spirituel, le sujet vivant d’une veritable existence de l’etre.
L’artiste n’est pas “un enfant du Dimanche” avec lequel tout lui reussit tout de suite. Il n’a pas le droit de vivre sans devoir. La tache qui lui est assignee est douloureuse, c’est une lourde croix a porter pour lui.
Il n’y a pas de du dans l’art, parce que l’art est libre.
Dear Mr Coelho,
I find you are a God gifted talent who is a gift to mankind.
Everytime I am getting difficulties with stages of my life.
Your sketches , words make me very happy again.
It makes me understand how wonderful this world is.
You have so much love and wisdom to give us.I congruculate you to share your God gifted talent with us, in the world.

A wonderful video! Thank you, Satora/Σατοράκι!! You always enter into the … conversation with something extraordinary and beautiful!
LOVE,
Thelma, Φιλάκια =Kisses!
art has many sides, to know how to live is an art, and few who can master it, art is a form of our soul we express in many different ways, its a gift that i cherish where ever i see :)
Interesting to read most of the comments-hey Aditya!!!Liked your comments:)
I don’t know too much about art or artists though so this made good reading-not sure I understand all of what this artist wants to convey.”Settling debts” made me smile as we know of it here in India.
Got the opportunity to admire God’s canvas today and felt blessed:)
Thanks for sharing,Paulo
Love
sheela
i think
living is an art.
all live is creative and free.
the spiritual athmosphere around us is
already perfect. we alone may learn to align
our thinking, feeling and behaving. in truth we
owe noone something. at times men are also beautiful.
may you be happy.
Where can I sign this? I see it quite like that. A truly great artist, I like his paintings very much and his philosophy which is contained therein.
I wish you all a wonderful Sunday
Such beautiful thoughts…touching my heart, I love his ideas. And agree with
Love and big hug, thank you
Concordo totalmente!
eu tambem!
hi,and then… each artist find his own “tempo”, his own rules, his own time, his own material or not, sometimes he could share his art with the others, sometimes not, sometimes he works hard, sometimes not, sometimes young, sometimes old, sometimes alone,sometimes with a team, he’s still free to discovery his own way, nobody can find this way, except him.
THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for this quote, and the comments. Recently I had been questioning if I was on the right path and prayed for signs, plus looking at my past to understand. This really struck me – “Art is a power that should be aimed at developing the soul”. To take up a little of the readers time – I often wondered why people encouraged me to write of my experiences, ‘they are so painful who would want to know? I’d say, but one day it struck me – a story that happens to an innocent teenage girl – based on experience and imagination, the future and past, the rock bottom and how to come out the other side, all combined…and how does one express it to reach others, give others an understanding or to touch their hearts and feel less alone – this is the soul I hope. But this I had to do visually as the story was in a screenplay form, plus since then have been writing other stories. The problem is getting stories made – as screenplays cost soooooooo much, but the Kandinsky quote has given me more surety and courage to continue as long as I can. THANK YOU Mr. Coelho.
I recall one of Dostoevski’s quotes: Beauty shall save the World” and that’s right. Beauty that lies in various types of arts according to different cultures is amazing and I see Life without Art would have been more aweful than it is.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
its amazing what you said Hicham, beauty shall save the world, how true :)
When I use my hands, they are guided by god – to express emotions or tell a story. Sometimes, I do not even understand because the work is not meant for me, but for another to find. How does one put a price tag on something from the soul, for sharing?. Looking deeper to find inner beauty – It’s what’s inside that counts. All glory to god, for the gifts. Thank you Paulo : )
I do not know how a price tag is put on things, but I would never say no to being given and original Picasso, Kandinsky etc!!
Gozado! Escrevo e pinto, mas nunca pensei que sou artista porque pinto e sim no prazer que isso me dá. Gosto de pintar quando sinto vontade. Nunca pensei em ter a pintura como profissão ou mesmo que deveria trabalhar muito como forma de agradecer a Deus e pagar a ele pelo meu dom.
Quando escrevo penso sim na arte, em um caminho profissional que já iniciei há muito tempo. Não falo do escrever como profissional de jornalismo, mas escrever com o coração delineando caminhos sem editor, sem pauta, sem necessidades diárias que tanto afligem o ser humano. O escrever como prazer, deixar fluir o que melhor tenho, da maneira que minha alma achar que deve fazer. Sem razão, sem tempo, sem hora pra começar ou acabar. Escrevo como arte toda vez que me dá saudade, dói alguma coisa dentro de mim, me sinto feliz ou mesmo como uma maneira de buscar algo mais, lá dentro em meu ser. Ai penso que estou fazendo arte. Sei que um artista tem 10% de dom e 90% de determinação e de muito trabalho. Mas realmente nunca pensei no dom da arte recebido de Deus, de trabalhar muito como forma de pagamento a Deus pelo dom recebido. Pode parecer ingenuidade, mas nunca pensei que tenho de pagar meu dom com muito trabalho, como forma de retorno para as pessoas. É uma coisa natural que faço, mais pela necessidade minha, da minha alma, do meu equilíbrio. Agora estou vendo de forma diferente o que antes não percebia. É muito mais coletivo do que imaginava. É muito mais gratificante do que sempre percebi.
Mais uma vez obrigada pela suas palavras que geram uma energia sempre humana e divina em mim.
Beijos!
Fica com Deus e na paz!
Being an artist myself, A vision forms in your mind as if being poured into it from your soul. It is like as if you are set afire that won’t be quinched until you create that piece of work.
You are in communion with your medium and the artist brushes the paper as a lover will caress their mate.
Love is poured into the canvess where the viewer later feels reaching out at them as they admire it.

“Beaty is the terrible Force.”Faina Ranevskaia
When artists understand that they are ‘channels’ of a certain inspiration, that might be divine, they will become humble about their role. I think there are many artists around us that has no possibilities to develop their skills due, sometimes, to karmic issues that have to be solved first; it is necessary to be patient to wait for the moment of freedom to express the art skills – I know what I’m talking about myself! ;))
I also feel that the art only has its real value when it is, as you say, to serve mankind and the world to inspire others to find their own way.
Love
I’m in the same position! My karmic issue has to be solved first. Sometimes it is very hard for me to be patient, because I feel all the power, creativity and the will of expression in my inside. I have to say lots of things. I have to fight the good fight against the injustice in the world and people’s emotional depletion.
The moment of freedom will come!
Thank you for expressing my situation in your words – I am feeling understood!
Love,
Nicole
I like the phrase; ‘Beauty…has to be at the service of humankind and the world. Once, visiting Museum of Modern Art in Oslo, I went with the intention to find at least one piece of art, that would talk to my sense of beauty. Can you believe, I didn’t find one single item? Walking up and down, on several floors, everything exposed was gloomy, drab, hard, harsh, chaotic and I will say ugly. Am I such a classic that I cannot understand modern? When art is seen as therapy where the artist splash out all the anger inside, I guess it serves humankind, but can it be called beauty?
Yes, Heart, well said! Your description of your trip to the Modern Art Museum in Oslo reminds me of a recent trip I took to a museum of modern art with my daughter. I looked and looked for something that she might be able to appreciate, but there was much blood and gore, and many other things that I would simply deem as utter monstrosities: a painting of a dead rabbit being skinned, a silicone sculpture of a naked man sitting on a toilette, some assemblage that looked like the remnants of a car crash….
As for the aspect of beauty, I’m not sure that all art has to be exactly beautiful. I mean, life itself can be pretty horrific. But I have seen paintings and art photography, for example, depicting some truly horrific events – wars, natural disasters, etc. – and even though there was no “beauty” to be found in the surface, these works spoke to me on some deeper human level. I came away with a sense of having gained something from the encounter. I might have left feeling a bit disturbed or even sad, but not empty. These works, I would say, served humanity, although they were not at all beautiful to behold.
But then I have also been to exhibits such as the one you seem to be describing, and left only with the feeling that my senses had been assaulted, and to no end whatsoever – for no purpose. Similarly, I have read books where I felt that the author actually abused the sensibilities of the reader. Many modern blockbuster films give me this same sense, with their graphic depictions of gratuitous violence. Some may call this “art,” but I see no value there, nothing worthy of the term “art” at all.
Life doesn’t get any better than this: when your favorite author quotes your favorite painter! I love it when you find something you believe in from someone you believe in, it’s as if life makes sense all over again.
Thank you Paulo!
Love,
Sherry

Kandinsky
Art it the bridge for God.. It is a gift that we have a duty to ..cultivate to reach Him. We have to transform the raw material and ‘colour’ the spiritual atmosphere, the aura around us.
‘Beauty, whether in art or in a woman, cannot be empty; it has to be at the service of humankind and the world’.
I wonder what is the meaning of this sentence. The word ‘EMPTY’ regarding beauty!
For me beauty is the expression in the material world of the inner beauty. So beauty is never ..empty. It is the Light and Whiteness in expression.. I may not have understand the exact meaning. ;]
LOVE,
Thelma.
u maynot be the only one !
i don’t see why being of service to mankind is paramont. the physical beauty is only a manifestation of the inner beauty, but then author probably indicated towards beautiful woman ( and [pray how can tjhey be of service to mankind, by posing naked for PETA, by adopting slumdogs, by being ‘available’ to humakind!
author says something about development of soul, etc etc. tell me was van gough creating his painting for development fo soul. to me it appears that development of soul is not a prerequisite, even any knowledge of soul is not a prerequiste; a work done sincerely is prerequitse, then whether it is a work of art, like painting or poetry or even making a shoe, a weapon, or even writing one more computer program ! anything done with sinceretity, where one can say to himself ( and hence to ones’ god ) that one did all one could ( of course without loosing the fun element, for if fun is lost everything is lost ); anything done with sincerity becomes a work of art, a thing of beauty, depends how penetrative are one’s eye to see the beauty.
love
aditya
Everything is so subtil … Humility and sincerity, yes, sure, fondations … and a pre-requisite for me essential AWARENESS. I found out that even if my mind “thought or said I am beauty inside”, and that I communicate or act upon “a sincere motive and desire”, my action or whatever derived from a subtil fear, a subtil doubt, a subtil defensive, a subtil uncounscious state of mind … beauty is being authentic, true, and love sometimes demands to hold position, to accept that the other will react … like one that looks at a painting and do not like it because it reveals an “emptiness” in his beauty …
beauty is never ..empty. It is the Light and Whiteness in expression.. I may not have understand the exact meaning. ;]
LOVE,
Thelma.
Well after 2 years I have … UNDERSTOOD grammar better!! ;-)) hahaha
Have a wonderful Sunday afternoon!

Dear Aditya & Thelma..
Nice to read both of your comments and you are really
honest and true to yourself while expressing your
agreement/disagreement with Mr.Paulo and this is what
he wants.The sincerety in everything we do amounts to
the true art of life…the following is for your
reference.
“The mole digs and the eagle flies but their end is to
exist”-TS Eliot
Every living entity in this universe is unique..like a
squirrel…cobbler…gold
smith…engineer..scientist..the painter…artist…but
their end is to exist in the universe.It is their
honest presence is the true art of life.If they don’t
they are already dead…am I resembling “The one who
died while living”!!!!the proposed epitaph of Mr.Paulo
Love and n’joy..

I join your silence Hildegarde and I say let it shine!
“Art is a power that should be aimed at developing the soul. If art does not do this job, the abyss that separates us from God is left without a bridge.” Recently I’ve been looking at schools for my daughter. Found a great Waldorf school, but then they announced that they’re closing their doors (Ah, the economy!). So then I found an excellent school of the arts. Still I’m hesitant. I prefer Waldorf, even if this means we have to move to a different city than originally planned. People question my decision. They don’t understand it. An arts school should be perfect, especially considering her interests. I grapple with words, trying to convey the reason for my hesitancy, but I can’t seem to express it. This quote sums it up perfectly! It the arts school, ART is the focus. In the Waldorf schools, the focus is the development of the soul and the whole being of the child. Arts instruction is included, but not without recognition of the fact that the soul is the source of that art, and unless the soul is healthy and vibrant, the art produced will be empty. Thank you for this quote, Paulo. It has helped me to clarify my ideas, not only on education, but on art in general.
Sometimes I go to art openings, or even in the encounter of certain post-modern forms of literature (especially poetry), I find myself face-to-face with something which, in a way, is admirable – I can clearly see the mastery, how the artist has shattered the norms of convention, how far they have departed from the traditional, how “new” and “fresh” the forms are – but I still feel this keen sense of “emptiness.” This affects me deeply and makes me feel even a little physically ill. It is like to have the eyes (or in the case of poetry – the ears, the mind) assaulted by the intense, the extreme, and yet that which is essentially devoid of substance. The only meaning is meaninglessness. This sort of art, or literature, to me is like the sound of fingernails scraping across a chalkboard – it grates on my nerves and rattles my senses. It disturbs more than it uplifts my soul.
I like, too, that Kandinsky mentions the beauty of a woman here, and how that beauty too should be at the service of mankind, and not empty. This makes me feel a little bit better about not exactly being a supermodel.
I am really! …… thank you ! thank you ! thank you! I like Kandisky, of her paint to its papers. I feel intensely as well the one as the other one.
Of what the eye sees in general and of what the soul manages to extract from it of private individual! It is so true the life under all its forms and her colors. Of the circle in the line or the square in the point…
If the life is in triangle, thank you Mr Kandisky of the so well said !
Thank you Mr Coelho to have given a place to him in your site.
Just living is an art in itself! As I child, I remember asking, when in my room, and I was like 4 or 5, “Why God did you give me the gift of life, for I recognize that that is a gift of high importance”. Being present and always in that way of mind, of gratitude and of “I have something special to accomplish” is important for me in all the domains of my life, be it work, at pleasure times, with family, as a parent, a friend, a wife, a Child of God. For me, life is a gift, an important moment in time, a time between two times, that has to be taken seriously and has to be meaningful for my soul, for my soul is the one to be considered and has to utilize all the learnings acquired for reasons, acquire others to come closer to her goal and change others to again come closer to her goal, her goal being to gain her place where God intended it for her. When a talent comes to surface, is there or comes back to life, it is important to try to find the “true reason” that my soul had in acquiring such and to develop such. To find out, to recollect memories, to renew with the forces of the gifts, as the transporter of my soul, I need to let my soul be in charge and put my personality to its service. Relations and communications, everything evolves around those. So, to find why and what to communicate, for me and my brothers and sisters, for the accomplishment of the Will of the Cosmic God. And it is a journey that does not stop, and a journey that demands to stop and listen, to silence and listen, to let the unconscious become conscious, to let the irrational come and put the rational in a mode of communication with it, a rational accepts the whole picture that seems at the beginning illogical and ask God to help it give the true meaning, put the rational to the service of the accomplishment of a mission that surpasses the conventional mind.
Johanna, j’aime beaucoup ce que tu dis. La vie est un cadeau. Fragile donc précieux. C’est pour cela qu’elle mérite bien quelques combats. Je ne crois pas qu’il y ait toujours des explications de “vraie raison” pour agir. On oublie souvent que “le coeur a ses raisons que la raison ne connait pas” (Pascal)
Quant à la création en elle-même, c’est un enfantement en soi. Lorsque je travaillais la glaise, rien, absolument rien ne pouvait me pertuber. Je tenais mon fil conducteur et me laissait guider par mon intuition. J’étais en osmose avec ma pièce. Je m’arrêtais de travailler lorsque j’étais vidée mentalement et physiquement. Puis la pièce était terminée. Au bout du processus, je ne ressentais plus rien si ce n’est la joie de sentir que cette pièce n’avait plus besoin de moi. Elle avait sa propre âme.
C’est un peu comme lorsque l’on porte un enfant. Pendant 9 mois, il est parti intégrante de notre corps et de notre esprit. Puis, il naît et à ce moment précis, il devient autre avec sa propre destinée.
PS : j’ai répondu à ta question pour la fois dernière, je ne sais pas si tu l’as lu ?
Paulo, muito lindas as obras dele.Agora, falando sério, as de sua Cristina também são!! Mostre-as aqui !! Besos,Meire.
developing the soul is a by product ! if a painter carries on his work, sincerely, sincerity is the key, then development fo soul is automatic. if u set it as developing the soul, as your goal, and then decide what u are going to do, then in all probablity u will fail. just like most christain missionaries, they die no closer to god or to themselves ( which incidentally is same ) because from the beginning they are more focuse on converting more and more people to christanity rather than trying to themselves get closer to christ.
humankind has to at service of beauty, the world has to be at service of beauty, then only will beauty come to humankind to the world.

Thank you Aditya.

Beautifully said sis!
Salut! Non, je n’ai malheureusement pas lu ta réponse de la dernière fois! C’est vrai, souvent, la raison ne connaît pas les raisons du coeur, toutefois pour moi il est important d’y mettre un sens pour le donner au rationnel, en fait de découvrir ce sens pour être consciente de mon action du coeur … Si tu me réponds à nouveau, je lirai ce soir. Je vois que lorsque je suis sur le Blog, la plupart doivent “dormir”, puisque je suis d’un autre continent. Et lorsqu’ils y sont, c’est moi qui dort! Jojo
Johanna, j’espère que tu as fait des beaux rêves !…
Oui, donner du sens à ses actions est nécessaire. L’important est d’être en accord avec soi, même si les autres trouvent notre comportement irrationnel. A chacun sa route et personne ne la fera à notre place ! D’où l’importance d’avoir de bonnes chaussures ! Je plaisante !!
Pour la réponse non lue, j’habite dans le sud de la France. Et toi ? Au fait, es-tu sur Facebook ? Si c’est le cas, je pourrais t’inviter, non ?
I think that some artists try and tame the lions of art and say; all art does not need to be beautiful… yet we all like to look at beautiful art and the strange and obscure seem to fail the test of time.
Heart to Heart is always touching
Bless you LoveM
I love it when it brings a smile :))))
Bless you LoveM
Yes Annie i knew you’d get it :)<3
When Heart is master…
It masters itself … (like old Gramophone records)
Only a humble heart can hear
That Divine Love Song
Bless you
