		<description>[...] &#8220;My way of approaching Allah – may his name be praised – has been through calligraphy, and the search for the perfect meaning of each word.

		<description>Dear Sir,

I had been your reader for the past 8 years, the words from your writings have been lighting up my path through life ever since. Alot of times, it had been shrouded in darkness by the routine and daily expectations of my life but each time, i will remember to stop a while and pick up a book of yours to illuminate the path ahead. This website of yours had been on my favourite list for quite a while and it was only recently that i had remember to come back and look at what is new. Coming across this blog of your upcoming new book, it gave me the impression of it being a recollections of memories of a person which didnt seem to interest me at first. However, tonight i decided to read it with my heart and it carried me all the way to the end of this chapter. Along the way, i am captivated and overwhelmed with a sense of living that this story bring to me. Thank you and i hope to buy a copy of this book as soon as it hit bookstore in singapore</description>

		<description>Dear Mr.Coelho

  The cultures that you are dealing with in this story are  originally not close to mine. And yet, the more I read, the more I feel connected and more loving not only toward those cultures, but toward everything. Especially while reading this Eleventh chapter, the word, "syncronism" kept popping up in my head. I can not find another right words to describe how I am feeling at this moment. But, being able to reach this book written by you at this moment of my life is truly a rewarding experience for me. Thank you so much.
I am looking forward to reading more.

Love, Yoshika</description>

		<description>So much beauty and wisdom. Do you see God everywhere? I try to. But like Athena sometimes life takes me further away. 
Thank you dear teacher,

		<description>Amazing.
Just out of curiosity, how come your book "The Witch of Portobello" is released in Sweden before it is released in the UK or the US? I'm definitely not complaining, I'm just curious :)

Love,
Maria</description>

		<description>I also think that a teacher is a vocation, it is a gift and if one is lucky enough to meet a true teacher then the life and its signs would become easier to follow and understand.I had the chance to learn from one such a teacher and I can tell you that the level of the good energy and blessed love is getting higher and higher with the mutual light that we both shared!</description>

		<description>Dear Paolo Coelho,

About 20 years ago one of my first teachers told us that there are 2 kinds of people in this world - the ones that are sweet fruits and the one that are bitter fruits. Fear and heavy hearttedness grew rapidly in our group, we were over 80 people gathered in his work-shop. As I remember him, he was very clear and direct: "You know", he said," you know the truth about yourself. Set it free. Are you carrying love or lovelessness into this world? And what do you choose to carry on from now on into your life? The choice is yours. We are always choosing between life and death. Every moment of our lives. Maybe you don´t realize this. Maybe you think a lot of choices are too small and many choices are unimportant. But it is not so. You choose all the time. And every single choice of yours counts. Are you choosing love? Are you choosing life? Or not? You need to know yourself here. And choose. Jesus said once The truth might make you suffer. And it will also set you free. 
Be true to yourself. What are you choosing?"

This has come back very clearly in my memory after reading the Bedouin´s describtion of Athena and what she chooses.
Thank you for the clear inspiration that your writing carries.
The channel is blessed by what flows through it.

with a hug from Denmark,
