The everyday masters
    Outside the city of Oslo is getting ready for winter. I am chatting in the bar with a very popular European singer. We talk about fame and success, and at a certain moment she asks me if I have anything important to teach her.
    “Of course not,” I answer. “You lead your life like someone who knows that one day they are going to die, and that is what is most important. Nevertheless, I can propose a task for you: for the next six months, keep a diary called “the everyday master.” We always learn something different between dawn and dusk: why not write it down?” Extract from Paulo Coelho's WARRIOR OF LIGHT

WALKS woke me up to learning the lessons in my daily life. Inspite of all the other people   placed on my spiritual path, WALKS was my greatest teacher, my greatest friend and my most special man.
