Quotes from 'Aleph'

And this good quote is from Paulo Coelho's book called 'Aleph'. I've never read this book though I heard about it when it was first launched in the market. It is said that this book is like 'The Alchemist' in which the main character seeks a path of spiritual renewal and growth and decides to travel to discover himself. Ah! I think I'd better buy another of his book soon although I have load of books lined up!

Also, I found some interesting quotes from this book:

"To live is to experience things, not sit around pondering the meaning of life."

"Travel is never a matter of money but of courage."

"I remember the many occasions on which help has come from precisely those people whom I though had nothing to add to my life."

"When faced by any loss, there's no point in trying to recover what has been; it's best to take advantage of the large space that opens up before us and fill it with something new."

"No life is complete without a touch of madness..." 

* Aleph is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, with many mystical meanings.

“I free myself from hatred 

through forgiveness and love. 

I understand that suffering, 

when it cannot be avoided
is here to help me on my way to glory.

I understand that 

everything is connected, 

that all roads meet, 

and that all rivers flow into the same sea.”

“The White Elephant Art Award” Art Exhibition

Few days ago I had a chance to visit BACC with my lovely friend. We enjoyed seeing the artworks there pretty much. I took some photos of the “The White Elephant Art Award” Art Exhibition "ศิลปกรรมช้างเผือก" which will be displayed on 14 June-29 July 2012, 7th floor.

This event is the first competition under the theme “Our Beloved King”

  and two photos from "Good to Walk: ดีที่เดิน  "

A flower from my dear friend

 "You're a star" That's the name of the photo one of my dear and lovely friends sent me from oversea. Its name is "bottlebrush". It's beginning to bloom and once when it's blooming it will turn to the bright red color. The botanical name for bottlebrush (sometimes written bottle brush) is Callistemon. It's native shrub or small tree and very popular in Australian gardens.

Thank you for your thoughtfulness Sol  :)
