When someone sees the same people every day, as had happened with him at the seminary, they wind up becoming a part of that person's life. And then they want the person to change. If someone isn't what others want them to be, the others become angry. Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.

    Perhaps we always fall in love the very first instant we see the man of our dreams, even though, at the time, reason may be telling us otherwise, and we may fight against that instinct, hoping against hope that we won't win, until there comes a point when we allow ourselves to be vanquished by our feelings.

      I am what whoever of us can be, if you listen to your heart. One who stares in wonder at the mistery which is life, who is open to miracles. Only that the other one, for fear of letting down, didn't let me act.
      Yes. When I understood it, I woke up sure to be what I had always wanted to be. The other one stayed there, in my room, looking at me, but I never let him back in, even if he sometimes tried to scare me, warning me against the risks of not thinking about the future.
      But from the moment I kicked him out of my life, the divine energy operated its miracles.

        The most important meetings have already been combined by souls before the bodies are even created. Usually, they happen when we reach a limit, when we need to die and be reborn emotionally. Meetings await us, but most of the time we avoid them happening. If we're desperate, instead, if we have nothing left to lose or we're quite enthusiastic about life, then the unknown occurs and our universe changes tack. (from "11 minutes")

          The warriors of light aren't always sure of what they're doing. They vey often spent their nights wide awake, thinking their life is meaningless. This is why they're warriors of light. Because they make mistakes. Because they constantly put questions to themselves. Because they search a reason: and they'll certainly fing it.

            Appreciate what you are for you are love, the love you search in everything and everywhere. Welcome what you are because you are what you try to be, what you want to be, you are life that creates your own life. Accept yourself, love of your love, because you are what you need to be. Smile at the love you emanate because you are that love you seek everywhere, peace of the senses.
