Witch of Portobello

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me


Indiscreet
In my world of fantasy...
Flawless existence,
Supernaturality
I play the flute...
to hear the sounds of your love
painting my mind the picture of a lovely dream...
Why did they bring me here
Why did they abuse me,
They took my innocence and
Did not let me see...
We walk on sacred ground
Climb on top of the mount,
The essence of life fires me up inside
And keeps me alive...
I shut out reality
And live as I please!
Don't tell me where to go,
Don't tell me what to do,
Don't shove your laws down my throat
Don't show me your insanity...
Your policies were not meant for me.
You came not knowing who you were,
Followed the footsteps imprinted for you
Created an illusion of reality.
Set up your restrictions,
And placed your constrictions,
And thought... that was your happiness.
The days and hours
Our calendar unreal
The shame and respect
And the fear you bring.
The green paper
and the 9-5 deal...
Trying to keep us real?
Watching and Controlling our every need,
Portraying it on TV
Reassuring the darkness fear
Hypnotized
Mesmerized
now it's time to have a brain wash!
~Carolena Sabah April 1995
It's with Great Pleasure that I announce 'The Witch of Portobello' will be having it's World Premier at the Rome Film Festival in October. If you happen to be in Rome, do as the Romans do. JK. Go and see the film if you get the chance!
Love and light...

Our film was selected from a field of more than 6,000 submissions from around the world.
The competition enabled filmmakers to adapt chapters from Paulo Coelho's book 'The Witch of Portobello' and help bring the story to the screen in a visual medium. A winner was selected for each chapter, 14 total. The winning films will be edited and released as a full-length feature film, around May of 2009.
Clips from our film were featured on CNN's 'The Spirit of Storytelling' which featured an interview with the author discussing his works and the "Experimental Witch".
Recently, the Experimental Witch Project received the Cinema for Peace Special Award.
Stay tuned for 'The Witch of Portobello' coming in 2009.

My feeling is that distance would not make much of a difference. What would make a difference is the purity of intent of the person doing the praying. The higher the purity of intent, the less of a difference the distance itself would make. Think of it in terms of vibration. It's easy to understand that language -- the spoken word -- has a vibration. Well, written words also have a vibration. Anything in existence has a vibration. - Masaru Emoto

And barefoot or first thing in the morning, I feel beautiful. Because I feel like me. I didn't always feel that way, but I feel that way now.

We are dying from over-thinking. We are slowly killing ourselves by thinking about everything. Think. Think. Think. You can never trust the human mind anyway. It's a death trap. - Anthony Hopkins

I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear. - Rosa Parks
