August 24

by Paulo Coelho on August 24, 2011


Illustration by Ken Crane

If you say, “The LORD is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

Psalm 91, 9:13
 
 
Thank you all for being here all year long, sharing your ideas.
By reading your comments and the stories you sent me, I also learned a lot.
All my love
Paulo

Legal , Você faz aniversário no mesmo mês que eu ,
Eu faço no dia 30 . Não vou te desejar feliz aniversário porque só estou sabendo disso hoje 17/10/2011 . Mas ano que vem eu não esqueço ,porque são apenas 6 dias de diferença do meu aniversário .
Abraços .

Mi querido Paulo, siento ser una de las últimas en saludarte y desearte un feliz cumpleaños. Son un poco pasadas las nueve y donde tú vives ya debe ser 25 de agosto,así que llego tarde. Ha sido un día extenuante, pero gozoso como los que tú me has enseñado a vivir: atiborrándome de vida como si no hubiera mañana. Acabo de celebrar el cumpleaños de mi hijo con un queque e inmediatamente me acordé de ti. También te recordé en el bus camino a casa mientras colgaba del travesaño rezando un rosario y dando gracias a Dios por el baile que me traía en éxtasis y dibujaba una sonrisa en mis labios. Todos debieron haber pensado que estaba loca, pero nadie me podía quitar mi alegría. Gracias. Gracias. Gracias.Si no fuera por tus libros no podría haber poseído todo sin tener nada.
Un enorme abrazo y mil bendiciones.

I’m so happy that I found your blog today :)
Yesterday I’d finished “O Diário de um Mago” and since that I’m thinking about his matter all the time. When I was sitting alone this evening I felt that I want to find some information about You, becouse despite of that I had read a lot of Yours books I didn’t knew enything about the author.
Maby it’s not only a case that I was thinking about it today becouse I can wish You a lot of inspiration and that Your books would stil be a inspiration for other like for me are.

I hope You undestand my english :)
Best wishes!
