I am in the Aleph, the point at which everything is in the same place at the same time.

Feelings that simultaneously exalt and suffocate.
Paulo Coelho

Don't think about what you've left behind.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Don't think about what you've left behind. If what one finds is made of pure matter, it will never spoil. And one can always come back. If what you had found was only a moment of light, like the explosion of a star, you would find nothing on your return.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When you want something with all your heart, that's when you are closest to the Soul of the World. It's always a positive force.
Paulo Coelho
