Old and ever wise Enlightenment

"A man often believes he is leading when he is [actually being] led; while his mind seeks one goal, his heart unknowingly drags him towards another."

"In all aspects of life, we take on a part and an appearance to seem to be what we wish to be [seen as]--and thus the world is merely composed of actors."

François de La Rochefoucauld

Proserpine, dear forget these two faces of that man and you will be free from that dark stage. The world like sea water today - pure and warm and calm!

Have a nice week end!

His heart... There just mine was beating... A King, a knight, a guard. A sword and mercy in one act. But you are so correct - I'll find an exist from the stage... and you know (I even hear the bells in the morning)the passage from this theatre leads to one chapel... My new dream...

I pray for all your dreams to be watched through a genuine feeling one day, when your pain is melting in the heat of the supper.

Can't you see, my dear sister all the landscape where you are living now is such a witness for this?

Yes, the birch-trees and pines that I admire through my window are so near of kin to some promised evidence..

But you know there was no any specified evidence. Now I see the Eternal life is really here.. but for me it is unacceptible, as only those with hearts can enter and mine is sealed. How can I go to a person and say: will you be so kind as to return my heart, please? How do you imagine this?

I only hope for the Blessed Virgin and her care...

A good weekend to you!
