Ends are beginning.

Oh, people! I forgot to tell you about "The Alchemist." It's the story of a shepherd who sells off his sheep in pursuit of a dream. It's a dream. Literally. He sees the pyramids and his life's treasure one night in a dream and strikes out to seek it. He crosses desert and encounters wizards, gypsies, an alchemist, all of whom guide him on his Life's Path. I'm thrilled to have finished it. That's the big news. It may be the first book I've ever been overjoyed to finish. Not because I didn't like it but because it ends where it starts. I'm not giving anything away, I hope, saying that but that's its beauty. And it talks about the journey of this life, lately an ever-present topic in missannesworld.
