Santiago, Sheeps, Melchizedek and all that....







Just got my eyes off Paulo Coelho's brill masterpiece "The Alchemist". As intriguing the read was i never thought that such a 150 pager would make me contemplate about everything I look at... For me now rains are just rains instead am trying to find out its hidden meaning "OMEN"..

Actually speaking most of the sequences were so amazingly placed that any reader would be enthralled at such an intense level about references made about One's dream, omen and love, that one cannot afford to look at the world with same point of view as he had been looking..

If you've read this book then you'll definitely remember following Quote by Melchizedek the King with Golden Breastplate bearing two stones Urim and Thummim:

"When a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help that person to realize his dream."

I am really moved after reading this book and even making my mind to leave all my earthly posession and buy around 60 Sheeps and settle down in plains of Spain as a Shpherd.. :P


(5/5 .. must read.. amazingly enthralling.. )

Thank you for your comment and encouragement on my page, Omi. What a beautiful set up you have here. I am so glad Nick has led us together. I have a similar dream of owning sheep. I want to learn how to dye, spin, and weave the wool. Nick and I share this dream with you. Like you, "The Alchemist" spoke to all that was alive in me and said "Yeeesss! I concur!". Thank you for reminding me of this gem of a book and the resurgence of a dream.
