Your story in my Blog - What if by Gabriela Abalo

What will happen if today…….:
• I misbehave?
• I remove my mask and stop pretending?
• I do things without thinking twice or its consequences or what the others may say?
• I act as if I have the same innocence and the same will for adventure that I had when I was 6 years old?
• I’m spontaneous and I forget everything I have learnt?
• I call a friend to tell her how much I love and miss her and that I do not remember why we fought and I no longer care, because all I want is to have her back in my life.

Life is full of surprises

Wagner

Yesterday I was starting to climb Le Saleve (Haute-Savoie) and in a small village I saw this house. It happens that it is true! The text reads

“The Valkyrie were composed here.”

“Here lived Two Immortals : Richard Wagner (1856) - John Ruskin (1863 - 1864).”

Today’s Question by the reader : Carlotta

I’m an italiens girl… I’ve always had a doubt about the correct pronounciation of your surname… so, i was wondering whether you could answer to this question.

Of course, the correct prononciation in portuguese is [ˈpau̯lu ˈko̯eʎu:].

But I don’t consider this very important - as long as the message passes across I am satisfied!

Jesus of Nazareth, Matthew 7;7-8

Paulo Coelho

Based on my message earlier this week - about the different languages of God - I would like to share with you this week some of the prayers that point in the same direction:

“Ask, and it shall be given you;

seek and you shall find;

knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

For every one that asks receives;

and he that seeks finds:

And to him that knocks,

it shall be opened.”

Your story in my Blog - Spilling and Splashing by Krishna Mohan Menon

Hi,

I remember visiting the pantry car of a train, as a child. In there were two huge steel vessels with boiling water, placed close. As the train moved these would rock violently, spilling and splashing the boiling water around. These would spill water, sometimes on the floor and sometimes into the other, and in the process empting themselves.

I sometimes feel the relationships in youth, be it ours or our parents when they were younger, are in a way like those tumblers in the pantry. The feeling

Quote of the day

Paulo Coelho

God uses fire to teach us about water. He uses earth so that we can understand the value of air. He uses death to show us the importance of life.
