Paulo Coelho and the Balloon, Part 5

Posted on November 2, 2013 by HakusanCreation

pc_and_balloon_5In Paulo’s novel The Alchemist, the hero Santiago has a vision, or, more correctly, an experience of the world as whole, where the macrocosm and microcosm are one. In a balloon, there is no wind. There is no sense of motion; the world moves around you, the still point.

Paulo Coelho and the Balloon, Part 4

Posted on November 1, 2013 by HakusanCreation

pc_and_balloon_4Breakfast and conversation followed our return to Earth. What was Paulo like? It would be hard to say. I think it is a conceit to think we can know anyone in a brief encounter, or even after a long friendship. I guess my impression of this man would be this image, this slice of time and space.

Paulo Coelho and the Balloon, Part 3

Posted on October 31, 2013 by HakusanCreation

pc_and_balloon_3The balloon flight was scheduled early in the morning. While most of the Kanto plain is developed, a large wetland exists north of Tokyo and is perfect for hot-air ballooning. The weather, however, was typical, hazy and overcast.

pc_and_balloon_2Paulo’s Japanese publisher Masao Masuda of Jiyu-sha had a wonderful balloon with a satellite image of the Earth printed on it. I was in a second balloon. Paulo is standing to the right of Masuda-san in the basket.

Paulo_Coehlo_and_balloon_1On October 24th, 1995, I shared a remarkable experience with the Brazilian author Paulo Coelho. He was in Japan to promote his new book. We shared the same publisher who took us just outside Tokyo for a hot-air balloon ride.
