Thank God for Paulo Coelho (and “The Alchemist”)

Writers inspire writers. Often when I feel spent, and the magical feelings of inspirations have nose-dived. The slate is blank. My imagination runs away to the dessert, into the mind of the shepherd boy following a series of omens in hopes of making his dream come true. And, then immediately I am fulfilled with a vigor and ambition, that reminds me to believe in miracles. Paulo Coelho, your thoughts and words awaken my spirit over and over again. I believe you are an instrument of God here to strenghen our faith and to remind us all that:

“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”

Thanks for your words and sharing your talent with the world. Your story about chasing dreams through Spain and across the mederanian sea and dessert to the pyramids, has revived my entire being over and over again!

WARNING: My next few posts may be all about “The Alchemist” as I reread it for the umpteenth time! 🙂

Peace be upon you!
