Why is it that when I read books I try to associate myself to either one of the characters in the story? At most I choose the innocent, happy, truth seeker like Pilar in the story of "By The River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept." The author of this heartwarming book is no other than Paulo Coelho. It’s a blessing to read his masterpiece. His great devotion to Mama Mary is simply extraordinary.
It was thrilling to read it. How a woman with a lesser faith had journeyed a series of life changing experiences (clueless at all) with a holy man. Somehow I can relate to this for the same reason. It might be fictitious, but it represented my thoughts and fears at present. I hope I’m progressing. With this book to remind me to stay focus on my journey and stay strong in love.
paulo coelho is a genius. i just finished ‘brida.’ =)
