THE MOMENT OF DAWN


I want to share with you the following story that I read in a Paulo Coelho´s book.
I think is a beatifull story and a very important reflexion.
During the World Economic Forum at Davos, the winner of the Nobel Prize for Peace, Shimon Peres, told the following story.
A Rabbi gathered together his students and asked them:
"How do we know the exact moment when night ends and day begins?"
"When it´s light enough to tell a sheep from a drog" said one boy.
Another student said: "No, when it´s light enough to tell an olive tree from a fig tree".
"No, that´s not a good definition either"
"Well, what´s the right answer?" asked the boys.
And the Rabbi said:
"When a stranger approaches, and we think he is our brother, and all conflicts disappear, that is the moment when night ends and day begins."

I want you to know, why I´ve chosen my nickname.
Probably some of you know who is her. Helen Walsh is one of the characters of Marian Keyes´s books. She has written some novels about the Walsh family, one book for each character, except Helen who don´t havs a book yet.

I like very much Marian Keyes´s books, for my they are very funny and amusing.
Some people (for exemple some of my friends) think that they are a little be boring or silly, but I have to say that they have never read anything about Marian Keyes. I like it because when I´m reading her books, they make me feel a lot of diferents emotions like laughter, sadness... and all of them in the same book! I think is lovely when the author can make you feel a strong feeling with his or her history.
But the best, is that when I´m reading it I can´t stop it, and I think this is the best way to read a book.

Hello,


My name is Helen Walsh. I live with my family in Dublin. Well, not with all my family, because I´ve four sisters: Claire, Rachel, Anna and Margaret, and not all of them are living in Dublin. For exemple Anna lives in London. I´m the youngest of all of them, and now I´m living in my parent´s house.
About my job, I´ve to tell you that I´m a private detective. Mum loves my job, occasionally, when I´m very bored or scared, Mum even goes to work with me.
