I just bought a Joss Stone
So, even though I have the CD, I still have the pleasure of listening to it, to look forward to.
Lovely Pressies
I watched my DVD I got for Mothers Day yesterday “The Gilmour Girls
I went shopping and spent my book voucher as well. Keeping with the chocolate theme I bought the Joanne Harris sequel to ‘Chocolat’ called ‘The Lollipop Shoes’ as well as Paulo Coelho’s latest ‘The Witch of Portobello’.
I love this article by Paulo Coelho. I think it embraces all that I love about his books. I love the lifestyle he lives. I want to give some books away now. My bookcases are bulging. I am going to take some to school to put on our community bookshelf and hunt for other good places to leave them. It will make me feel better about buying so many.
The Journeys of Socrates
‘The Journeys of Socrates’ by Dan Millman was a great read. Years ago I read ‘The Way of the Peaceful Warrior’ and have always remembered it as a great adventure and insight into what is spiritually possible.
This book continued that adventure by going further back into the history of one of the original characters and shedding light on how such a great being came to be. I am glad I read ‘The Way of the Peaceful Warrior’ first because it made sense to me in this way and allowed the revelations at the end of the book to have more meaning for me. I feel inclined to reread the first book now though, because it has been many years since I first read it.
‘The Journey of Socrates’ is set in Russia in the middle of the 19th Century. It tells of the hardships endured and the triumphs of his character. I definately recommend it. The author Dan Millman has a website that tells of a movie based on ‘The Way of the Peaceful Warrior’. I look forward to seeing that.
