Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,
This month we are finding our inspiration through the novels written by Paulo Coelho. Several of his novels I have used earlier here so sometimes there will be a "deja vu" I think. Today, while I am seeking a little bit time in between the things I have to do, I will use a quote from "Aleph", Paulo Coelho's most personal novel ever. Recently we had an episode about this novel, in our anniversary month, so maybe this quote you will remember. I used it for the first time back in 2014 when we were on a trip straight through the former USSR with the Trans Siberian Railway.
Here is our inspirational quote from Aleph:
[...] "I am
not a foreigner because I haven't been praying to return safely home, I haven't
wasted my time imagining my house, my desk, my side of the bed, I am not a
foreigner because we are all travelling, we are all full of the same questions,
the same tiredness, the same fears, the same selfishness and the same
generosity. I am not a foreigner because, when I asked, I received. When I
knocked, the door opened. When I looked, I found." [...] (Source:'Aleph' by Paulo Coelho)

reaching for the stars and the moon
into the dreamworld

Hi Chèvrefeuille, I posted mine but with a slight variation; hidden dreams needing to be found. I hope this isn't too far off the mark! Have a good weekend 😊
