    I love it when I come across a title that has valuable information and insight that applies to my life today. I found this just at the right time. Thanks Universe!

    25 May: I loved this book! This is one that will be on a shelf close, where I can reach it and be reminded of its valuable content. I am now reading The Alchemist online. Paulo Coelho has a Facebook page and provides you a link to read his book for free online. I still plan on buying a copy but I was eager to read more of his books!

A Fable About Opening Your Heart to Miracles

By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept tells of Pilar, a frustrated scholar looking for some greater meaning in the endless cycle of her days. When a childhood friend contacts her, she is surprised to learn that her former playmate is now a charismatic spiritual leader, someone revered as a miracle worker. She is even more astonished when he reveals that Pilar has always been his great love.

Confused by this sudden opportunity for a new chance at life, Pilar gradually comes to realise that the man she loves is being called upon to choose between her and his spiritual calling. As the suffering lovers travel through sacred sites in the French Pyrenees, the difficult choice they face offers a startling revelation about the divine and the redemptive power of love. Full of warmth and wisdom, joy and unexpected sorrow, their story is a magical celebration of the endless possibilities that life has to offer, and a fable about opening your heart to miracles.
