Not all who wonder are lost

Not all who wander are lost
It is my believe that we are all wonders in our own life time, every time we wake up, we go on a journey to discover what the day has for us. I read a book some years ago, and it stayed with me for a long time. The book explores the journey of a young Sharped boy, while reading this amazing by PAULO COELHOL I was taken into the world of my own, I was yet to discover.
The Brazilian author Paulo Coelho was born in 1947 in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Before dedicating his life completely to literature, he worked as theatre director, actor, lyricist, and journalist. His fascination with the spiritual quest dates back to his hippie days, when he travelled the world learning about secret societies, oriental religions
A Quote from the Alchemist: As the alchemist himself says, when he appears to Santiago in the form of an old king "when you really want something to happen, the whole universe conspires so that your wish comes true".
"The Alchemist". And isn't it true that the whole of humankind desperately wants to believe the old king when he says that the greatest lie in the world is that at some point we lose the ability to control our lives, and become the pawns of fate.
His book called The Alchemist has touched me a great deal, and the journey of this young man, gives hope in following your dreams. The Alchemist is the magical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure as extravagant as any ever found. From his home in Spain he journeys to the markets of Tangiers and across the Egyptian desert to a fateful encounter with the alchemist.
The story of the treasures Santiago finds along the way teaches us, as only a few stories have done, about the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts, learning to read the omens strewn along life's path, and, above all, following our dreams.
I love the magic the story has; sometimes we need magic in our lives.

  1. That is a great book. It is the kind of book that we must keep and every now and then read again to remind us of its meaning…
