The Alchemist Awaits 15 April 2008

While I prepare to post a full account of the Being Fearless workshop I attended this past weekend, I wanted to share a little something with you first. I’ve been encountering all forms of the word “alchemy” for many months. On Sunday, inside the Omega bookstore, I stumbled upon Paulo Coelho’s novel entitled The Alchemist. I knew our time had come:

So far, I’m stuck on the Introduction. I can’t get past this part without a mini-meltdown of the cathartic kind:

“But if you believe yourself worthy of the things you fought so hard to get, then you become an instrument of God, you help the Soul of the World, and you understand why you are here.”

May you find your way to knowing as well.
