“Paulo succeeds in his task to climb the waterfall just like Petrus, but he had to fought against his thoughts to let go … He describes it as follows: […] “I fought with all my strength to keep my hands and feet anchored to their holds, but the
noise of the water seemed to take me to another place. It was a mysterious and distant place where nothing that was happening at that moment was at all important, and it was a place that I could get to if I had the strength. In that place, there would no longer be any need for the superhuman effort it took to keep my hands and feet holding to the rock; there would be only rest and peace. But my hands and feet did not obey this impulse to surrender. They had resisted a mortal temptation. And my head began to emerge from the stream as gradually as it had entered it. I was overcome by a profound love for my body. It was there, helping me in this crazy adventure of climbing through a waterfall in search of a sword. When my head came completely through the surface,
I saw the bright sun above me and took a deep breath.”[…]
Paulo had to overcome his Self … and isn’t that the goal of every pilgrimage?”
Yes, I write my own haiku and did so before meeting up with Carpe Diem, but your blog is very well thought out and offers much food for though. A mentor in my mind is someone who shares knowledge and wisdom with the less experienced ..something you do daily 🙂

That’s to much honor, but thank you for your kind words. After all … you write your own haiku … and I am glad that I can point you the way.
