Winter of Yunnan 云南— Part 1. Dali, Lijiang
We walk through the village, which like somewhere out of a fairy tale. One day, tourists will come here, vast hotel will be built, shops will sell T-shirts, lighters, post cards, models of the wooden horses. They will make huge car parks for the double-decker couches brining people armed with digital cameras, determined to capture the whole lake on a microchip. — <Aleph> Paulo Coelho
Our life is a constant journey, from birth to death. The landscape changes, people changes, our needs changes, but the train keeps moving. Life is the train, not the station. — <Aleph> Paulo Coelho
Hell is when we look back during that fraction of a second and know that we wasted an opportunity to dignify the miracle of life. Paradise is being able to say at that moment: “I made some mistakes, but I wasn’t a coward. I lived my life and did what I had to do.” — <Aleph> Paulo Coelho
