Music:
I love you, I miss you

Those with eyes to see
Paulo Coelho

Avoid those who say: ‘That’s it, I’ll go no further.’
Because what they have failed to grasp is that neither life
nor death has an end; they are merely stages of eternity.

Stay close to those who say: ‘Everything’s fine as it is,
but we still need to move on.’
Because they understand the need to keep going beyond
the known horizon.

Avoid those who meet up to discuss, seriously and pretentiously,
any decisions that the community needs to take.
They understand about politics, they impress others and try to
show how wise they are.
What they don’t understand is that it is impossible to control
so much as the fall of a single hair on your head.
Discipline is important, but it needs to leave doors and windows
open to intuition and the unexpected.

Stay close to those who sing, tell stories, enjoy life
and whose eyes sparkle with happiness.
Because happiness is contagious and will always manage
to find a solution whereas logic can find only an explanation
for the mistake made.

Stay close to those who allow the light of Love to shine forth
without restrictions, judgements or rewards, without letting
it be blocked by the fear of being misunderstood.
No matter how you are feeling, get up every morning
and prepare to let your light shine forth.

Those with eyes to see will see your light
and be enchanted by it.
