Breakfast with Coelho

This morning, Coelho kept me company again - his gentle words soothing the pain in my soul.

It's Friday - a day for self-reflection - and I thought I'd just share some of his quotes with you, as food for your soul. Enjoy!

"Whenever we need to make a very important decision,
It is best to trust impulse and passion,
because reason usually tries to remove us from our dream,
saying that time is not yet right.

Reason is afraid of defeat,
but intuition enjoys life and its challenges"


And another one:

"Every day, God gives us, as well as the sun,
a moment when it is possible to change anything
that is causing us unhappiness.
The magic moment is the moment when
a "yes" or "no" can change our whole existence.

Every day, we try to pretend that we do not see
that moment, that it does not exist,
that today is the same as yesterday
and that tomorrow will be the same too.

However, anyone who pays close attention to his day
will discover the magic moment.

It might be hidden in the instant
that we put in the key in the door every morning,
in the moment of silence after supper,
in the thousand and one things
that appear to us be the same.

This moment exists, a moment in which
all the strength of the stars flow through us
and allows us to perform miracles."


And another one:

"The Lord listens to the prayers of those
who ask to be able to forget hatred,
but is deaf to those who want to flee love"


And one last one, for the road:

"We do not need to know "how" or "where",
but there is one question that we should all ask
whenever we start something:
"What am I doing this for?"


Hope some of these quotes will be as helpful to you, as it has been to me. Have a good weekend, people.

And as for YOU - my love, thoughts and prayers are with you, always. Invisible I may be, but I'm taking every step right beside you, for as long as you want me here. You're never alone.

I'm glad to be paraphrased as per my previous comment *wink*
Somehow I find it hard to use the word 'love' nowadays. perhaps because I am still searching for that defining moment, every single day, and yet to find one. I should try harder.

Take care.
