Serendipity, Sao Paulo

It was love at first sight for me. From the moment I discovered the Internet, I was hooked. To seal the obsession, I was part of the team that developed the launch campaign for the Internet in Bahrain, inet for Batelco. I was one of those copywriters who liked to believe in the products she sold, and with inet it was easy.

I could go on and on about the joys of the Internet, but for now I'll rave about just one of them -  the way it connects us all, around the world. Every day that I check my blog, I'm amazed - and awed - that there are visitors from continents I may never see, from cities and towns I have never heard of, or places whose names bring back memories of books I have read or songs I've listened to. Every now and then I like to google and look for the deeper connection between myself and these places or the people who come to this blog from them.

This morning I blog-hopped over to Angela's blog in Sao Paulo, Brazil. It was all in Spanish, but there was one little box in the top right corner, whose contents I recognised immediately.

Se Deus e por nos,
quem sera contra nos?

It's a line from the Bible's New Testament, one that I'd heard so often as a schoolgirl, but nothing that I've kept top of mind. This morning, however, I was disturbed and confused about something I'd read last night, and there were a zillion questions bouncing around my mind. My little blog-hop to Sao Paulo gave me the answer to them all.

Thank you, Angela, for being my connection to this.
