That "SOULMATE" Thing


Lorens said, "We study things that we see. But sometimes, what we see doesn't really exist." Somewhat related to "What is essential is invisible to the eye" by Exupery.

I just cannot get over Paulo Coelho's "super works". His thoughts seem out-of-this world but true; simple but complex in meaning; ironic but real. It has life in its own sense.

After reading this book, I've finally found explanations for some of the most haunting questions I've kept in my mind for a long time,specifically, the questions regarding mystery and magic and their ties with love.

The soulmate explanation wherein he said that we are incarnations of previous beings in this world; our atoms once belonged to things or persons that once existed in this world and our soulmates are those whose atoms once belonged to the same things as ours (getch?).
Then there's this certain light that we can see in the eyes and on the left shoulders of our soulmates. Soulmates...yeah, with an "ssss". It's because according to the book, it's possible for us to meet more than one soulmate in a lifetime.

It's one of my most loved books (thanks Tricky) because it has a touch of science,hmmmm...time travel to be exact. I've always wanted to slide backwards and forward in time.

Some more facts to be added next time...chill...

Life,Life & Life

Life
by George Herbert

I made a posie, while the day ran by:
Here will I smell my remnant out, and tie
My life within this band.
But time did becken to the flowers, and they
By noon most cunningly did steal away
And wither'd in my hand.

My hand was next to them, and then my heart:
I took, without more thinking, in good part
Times gentle admonition:
Who did so sweetly deaths sad taste convey
Making my mind to smell my fatal day;
Yet sugring the suspicion.

Farewell dear flowers, sweetly your time ye spent,
Fit, while ye liv'd, for smell or ornament,
And after death for cures.
I follow straight without complaints or grief,
Since if my scent be good, I care not, if
it be as short as yours.
