From Paulo Coelho, author of the international bestseller The Alchemist, comes a poignant, richly poetic story that reflects the depth of love and life.
Rarely does adolescent love reach its full potential, but what happens when two young lovers reunite after eleven years? Time has transformed Pilar into a strong and independent woman, while her devoted childhood friend has grown into a handsome and charismatic spiritual leader. She has learned well how to bury her feelings . . . and he has turned to religion as a refuge from his raging inner conflicts.
Now they are together once again, embarking on a journey fraught with difficulties, as long-buried demons of blame and resentment resurface after more than a decade. But in a small village in the French Pyrenees, by the waters of the River Piedra, a most special relationship will be reexamined in the dazzling light of some of life's biggest questions.

About the author
Paulo Coelho
414听books137k听followersThe Brazilian author PAULO COELHO was born in 1947 in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Before dedicating his life completely to literature, he worked as theatre director and actor, lyricist and journalist. In 1986, PAULO COELHO did the pilgrimage to Saint James of Compostella, an experience later to be documented in his book The Pilgrimage. In the following year, COELHO published The Alchemist. Slow initial sales convinced his first publisher to drop the novel, but it went on to become one of the best selling Brazilian books of all time. Other titles include Brida (1990), The Valkyries (1992), By the river Piedra I sat Down and Wept (1994), the collection of his best columns published in the Brazilian newspaper Folha de S茫o Paulo entitle Maktub (1994), the compilation of texts Phrases (1995), The Fifth Mountain (1996), Manual of a Warrior of Light (1997), Veronika decides to die (1998), The Devil and Miss Prym (2000), the compilation of traditional tales in Stories for parents, children and grandchildren (2001), Eleven Minutes (2003), The Zahir (2005), The Witch of Portobello (2006) and Winner Stands Alone (to be released in 2009). During the months of March, April, May and June 2006, Paulo Coelho traveled to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his pilgrimage to Saint James of Compostella in 1986. He also held surprise book signings - announced one day in advance - in some cities along the way, to have a chance to meet his readers. In ninety days of pilgrimage the author traveled around the globe and took the famous Transiberrian train that took him to Vladivostok. During this experience Paulo Coelho launched his blog Walking the Path - The Pilgrimage in order to share with his readers his impressions. Since this first blog Paulo Coelho has expanded his presence in the internet with his daily blogs in Wordpress, Myspace & Facebook. He is equally present in media sharing sites such as Youtube and Flickr, offering on a regular basis not only texts but also videos and pictures to his readers. From this intensive interest and use of the Internet sprang his bold new project: The Experimental Witch where he invites his readers to adapt to the screen his book The Witch of Portobello. Indeed Paulo Coelho is a firm believer of Internet as a new media and is the first Best-selling author to actively support online free distribution of his work.

Thank you, Mr Coelho.
At a time when my parents and my son are dying, and can't accept love, help and support, this one paragraph in your Author's Note gave me joy and hope:
"But ultimately there is no good reason for our suffering, for in every love lies the seed of our growth. The more we love, the closer we come to a spiritual experience. Those who are truly enlightened, those whose souls are illuminated by love, have been able to overcome all the inhibitions... They have been joyful 鈥� because those who love conquer the world and have no fear of loss. True love is an act of total surrender.
"...One doesn't love in order to do what is good, or to help, or to protect someone. If we act that way, we are perceiving the other as an object, and we are seeing ourselves as wise and generous... To love is to be in communion with the other and to discover in that other the spark of God."
You have chartered for me a path of sanity, serenity, and true generosity. I can only hope to be able to walk it!

I have just experienced a wonderful and enlightening love story that has moved me deeply. Indeed, Paulo Coelho's "By The River Piedra I Sat Down And Wept" is a must read for people who have lost, found, or still seeking for love.
I have made some references to this novel in some of my past blogs. But now, I am writing more about it on my personal realizations after experiencing this enigmatic literary work.
I have jotted down some lines from the book that struck me the most, and taken note of my insights.
(1) But love is much like a dam:if you allow a tiny crack to form through which only a trickle of water can pass, that trickle will quickly bring down the whole stucture and soon no one will be able to control the force of the water.
Me: Falling in love is a beautiful experience. Deciding to fall in love is the hard part. But this analogy of love and a dam, explains it quite well. Once you start having the slightest thought that maybe love is possible or start seeing a person in a different light, all other feelings and ideas will start to rush in. Then you feel afraid of what you have just realized and try to thrust it away. No escape. Your heart and mind fight it out. Still, it doesn't matter which ends up victorious, because from then on, you will never see things the same way again.
(2) In real life, love has to be possible. Even if it is not returned right away, love can only survive when the hope exists that you will be able to win over the person you desire.
Me: Love is forbearing. But sometimes the heart is impatient. This statement is still unclear to me. Maybe because, I have often easily given up in this quest for "winning over the person I desire". I guess this statement is experiential, only then will there be full understanding of it.
(3) Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering.
Me: How would we know if it is time to move on or that it is still worth another try? I have seen a lot with this dilemma, both from movies and through acquaintances. And indeed, seeing them in that state where they have no idea which way to take is truly heart breaking. I have been in both situations. I have waited. I have forgotten. But by some cosmic conspiracy, somehow I still find myself wondering, what if I took the other path? Forgetting is like a point of no return. If you choose to forget and leave, then you must stand by your decision, no matter how difficult it promises to be. Only by then will you be able to move on. In waiting, the clincher would be how long should you wait, and do you really have something to wait for. Either way, you will find yourself hurting at one point in time.
(4) What I remember is that love returned in the form of another man, new hopes and new dreams.
Me: The bible says that love is constant and that love is forever. Poets reiterate this in their masterpieces. Hopeless romantics sing about it. Then if this be the case, I have no reason to believe that love ever fails. It just transforms. This should be able to keep the flame of hope of finding the love of our lives burning through and through.
There you go. I am done with another book. A couple of weeks later, I would no longer fully remember what it was about or who the characters were. But somehow I would still recall the feelings I got as I was reading through it and my pot of insights has yet again been stirred and repleted.
P.S. The female character is Pilar. She was the one telling the story. But the male character remained nameless. Hmm... Or did I just forget his name already? ;)

this book was a joke.
horrible, pretentious, verbose, and yet basically content-free language - which in itself might be seen as quite an achievement if you're trying to do really bad writing.
and the content....?! uummmmm, empty, trite banalities and cliches. - i really dont understand how anyone who has even spent a *minute* reflecting on any philosophical question would get any sort of insight out of such a book!
as i remember it, the outline of the plot even sounded pretty promising.... sth about a woman and a man reuniting and falling in love again, i mean, you could work with that, right? but since the entire plot was nothing but a stage for his, as i mentioned, really very insightless "insights"..... it was not much help, either. especially, when he started the crazy religious talk, that i seem to remember, some crazy "miracle" stuff..... yeah, that was when i seriously lost patience with that book.
i honestly have to say, in terms of style, language, *and* content, this was probably the worst book i have ever finished reading.

MY FAVORITE LINES FROM THE BOOK:
At some point, we have each said through our tears, 鈥淚鈥檓 suffering for a love that鈥檚 not worth it.鈥� We suffer because we feel we are giving more than we receive. We suffer because our love is going unrecognized. We suffer because we are unable to impose our own rules.
True love is an act of total surrender.
You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen.
Every day, God gives us the sun - and also one moment in which we have the ability to change everything that makes us unhappy. Every day, we try to pretend that we haven鈥檛 perceived the moment, that it doesn鈥檛 exist 鈥� that today is the same as yesterday and will be the same as tomorrow. But if people really pay attention in their everyday lives, they will discover that magic moment. It may arrive in the instant when we are doing something mundane, like putting our front-door key in the lock; it may lie hidden in the quiet that follows the lunch hour or in the thousand and one things that all seems the same to us. But that moment exists 鈥� a moment when all the power of the stars becomes a part of us and enables us to perform miracles.
I could have. What does this phrase mean? At any given moment in our lives, there are certain things that could have happened but didn鈥檛. The magic moments go unrecognized, and then suddenly, the hand of destiny changes everything.
If pain must come, may it come quickly. Because I have a life to live, and I need to live it in the best way possible. If he has to make a choice, may he make it now. Then I will either wait for him or forget him. Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering.
Dreams mean work.

鈥淭o love is to lose control.鈥�
Hm, this is a strange and hard one to review.
On the one hand, there is no plot, barely anything happens at all.
Yet on the other the writing is so lyrical, so peaceful, and tackles such interesting and important topics that it kept me reading.
Pilar is invited to a seminar by an old friend. Their reunion strikes a chord and changes them both. They travel together across parts of Spain and France, discussing life, love, faith and spirituality.
A lot of the focus is on Christian ideas, but there are also plenty of other forms of spirituality included.
At times it really made me stop and think, and the writing took me away from myself and into another world, a simpler world where faith is easier and the people are kinder.
Overall I did enjoy it, I liked some of the different ideas included - a major one being God portrayed as a woman, or 鈥榯he mother'; a lot of interesting stuff. Reckon I鈥檒l keep this one to reread someday as I鈥檓 sure there was plenty that I missed or went over my head.
鈥淟ove can consign us to hell or to paradise, but it always takes us somewhere.鈥�

By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept by Paulo Coelho offers an exploration of love, spirituality, and personal transformation, but ultimately falls short in delivering a meaningful or engaging narrative. The prose feels overly simplistic, and the philosophical musings often come across as repetitive or forced rather than thought-provoking. Coelho's attempt to explore the deep connection between the protagonists and their journey towards self-actualization feels superficial, lacking the emotional depth or complexity needed to make their journey resonate.
The pacing is slow, with long stretches of introspection that detract from any potential momentum. The romance, which is central to the story, feels clich茅d and contrived, making it difficult to connect with the characters or their emotions. Rather than offering insight, the book seems more like a collection of vague aphorisms, which may appeal to readers seeking spiritual guidance but will likely frustrate those hoping for a more substantial or nuanced story. Overall, it鈥檚 a disappointing read that fails to live up to the promise of its premise.

Na margem do rio Piedra eu sentei e chorei = By the river piedra I sat down ond wept, Paulo Coelho
By the River Piedra I sat Down and Wept (Portuguese: Na margem do rio Piedra eu sentei e chorei) is the first part in Coelho's trilogy "On the Seventh Day". The other two parts are Veronika Decides to Die and The Devil and Miss Prym. Their subject is a week in the life of someone ordinary to whom something extraordinary happens. The story focuses on Pilar, an independent young woman, who is frustrated with the grind of university life and looking for greater meaning. Pilar's life takes a turn when she meets up with a childhood sweetheart, who is now a spiritual teacher and a rumoured healer and miracle worker, and sets off with him on a journey through the French Pyrenees. Her companion now has to make a choice between his calling and his love for Pilar.

By the River Piedra I sat Down and Wept (Portuguese: Na margem do rio Piedra eu sentei e chorei) is the first part in Coelho's trilogy "On the Seventh Day". The other two parts are Veronika Decides to Die and The Devil and Miss Prym. Their subject is a week in the life of someone ordinary to whom something extraordinary happens. The story focuses on Pilar, an independent young woman, who is frustrated with the grind of university life and looking for greater meaning. Pilar's life takes a turn when she meets up with a childhood sweetheart, who is now a spiritual teacher and a rumoured healer and miracle worker, and sets off with him on a journey through the French Pyrenees. Her companion now has to make a choice between his calling and his love for Pilar.

This book wasn't even close to as good as , and it seems as though it was translated really poorly too. If I could read Portugese I would try it, but since I'm limited to English or Spanish, I think I'm done with trying to make this book better than my original reaction deemed it.
It wasn't a very cohesive story, the whole "feminine face of God" thing was cool, but fairly random and not well elaborated, the "love story" was sappy and pathetic.
It is a super short book, especially when considering the size of the font and the margins, and yet I felt like I was creeping through it. I finished it, as other reviewers have mentioned, solely for the sake of finishing it. Why do we do this to ourselves? Why can't I be more like Trish and just let sucky books go without having to finish them?
Anyway, save yourself from the self-flagellation that will come when you don't feel like finishing it, and don't even start it.

*takes deep breath*
Okay , so I saw a GR update about this book and I was like yeah..!! I have read it and its a really good one but i couldnt remember the plot and everything. So I started searching for this book and for what it felt like a million years I found it and read it AGAIN.
Then I mentally slapped my brain for not remembering this book, and my brain was like -'yeah..!! Theres only one explanation for not remembering it, that the aliens must have had abducted me and wiped my memory clean'.
Just kidding (or not) 馃槄
Anyways.. About the book,
You know about those book where you dont have to know anything about the book or its story or its characters, you just have to dive in. This is one of those book. Its the kind of book you'd either Love or Hate, theres no in between.
I Loved this book, I know some people hated it, maybe they didnt understand the whole concept( for lack of better word) but i adored it.
It has so many good quotes, I have highlighted almost whole book and now my book looks like a rainbow. (Yes I use different color highlighters everytime).
The book is about loss, seeking love, finding love around you, keeping your love, your beliefs. Yes many people can argue about somethings in this book and thats okay, everything has two sides, its upto you how you look at it. Even somethings left me questioning too but thats okay. Maybe we are allowed to have some doubts and questions.
I dont know what else to say about this book, its just that you have to trust me, and just dive in. And i promise you won't come out empty hand, you'd either Learn or Understand or Find something, I can gurantee you that.

If you're expecting another The Alchemist, just stop right there, turn around, and never look back. Seriously. Trust me and do yourself a favor.
After the success of The Alchemist, I feel like Coelho just threw a bunch of ideas together and called it a new story. Sure, it has the themes of faith, love, and following your dreams, but in my opinion, the story just wasn't concrete enough to really... I don't know, actually teach you anything - if that's what Coelho sought to do. The events just felt disconnected.
It took me a few months to finish this book because I kept getting bored of it. I finally finished it for the sake of finishing it.
The author tried to throw in a few themes from The Alchemist, and there are maybe a few good ideas in here, but nothing good enough to waste your time reading an entire book to glean some tidbits.
Note: A lot of reviewers on Amazon said they didn't like the fact that the book delved so much into religion, but I didn't mind that.

A beautiful experience. Reading Paulo Coelho makes my heart so happy and full, and soaking up the text of this awe-inspiring story has changed my perspective of life itself. The story is much more than a narrative of a love story, it is about following dreams, believing in yourself, supporting others and never giving up. It is about being unique and chsding your own path, instead of a path made by others. It might sound cliche but it makes so much sense. Coelho writes in such an exquisite way. I believe that this book has the ability to change me as a person.

El libro m谩s entretenido que he le铆do del autor. No es mucho de mi gusto pero debo admitir que cumpli贸 su cometido de hacerme pasar el rato. Mas all谩 de la mitad se volvi贸 tedioso pero como faltaba poco para terminarlo me anim茅 hasta la 煤ltima p谩gina.

I opened this book with NO expectation's. Many people take Paulo Coelho's books with this expectations that it will be as good as is. But no book will ever be good as Alchemist is. So, for me this book was quite unexpected but in a good way. I have read many books of Paulo but this book was quite exception of Paulo's writing. It was desperate, Spiritual and so knowledgeable. I quite learned about Christianity, Spirituality. Love and Decisions.
And so the novel starts out. The most beautiful opening paragraph I鈥檝e ever read in my life. And unless you are heartless or have never been in love, I don鈥檛 know how this wouldn鈥檛 at least rank somewhere on your list of most beautiful passages.
This book was told by the protagonist Pilar's POV, she took us from the streets of Zargoza to the mountains of France to the river of Piadera. For not believing in Love to falling in love. This book showed us different phases of a human's life to her journey to the life of spirituality. This book's main focus was on the female face of GOD. That women's have been degraded from the early era to now, that Male God's have been more in light then women's. This book told us so many tales and knowledge about Virgin Mary. Which for me was quite interesting. As a Muslim, after Islam the most interesting is Christianity. and this book provide alot of it.
carries a spiritual theme, as he touches quite a bit on the mystical nature of God. In this particular piece, he focuses on the young man鈥檚 belief in a feminine God that grants him the power to heal. and then their is Pilar, Pilar struggles to accept and embrace her feelings for him. He struggles to reconcile his love for the seminary, the gifts he has been given and the love he has held onto for so many years. While the beauty of their love story as it unfolds kept me wanting more, I found myself disappointed, especially toward the end when I didn鈥檛 feel the same intensity of emotions as I did with the opening paragraphs.
Nonetheless, I enjoyed this book. I have two more books by Coelho that I want to read. And if you know me, you鈥檒l know that there are VERY few authors from whom I鈥檝e read more than one book. I must really like this guy.
鈥淚f pain must come, may it come quickly. Because I have a life to live, and I need to live it in the best way possible. If he has to make a choice, may he make it now. Then I will either wait for him or forget him.鈥�

鈥淏y the River Piedra I sat down and wept. There is a legend that everything falls into the waters of this river 鈥� leaves, insects, the feathers of bird 鈥� is transformed into the rocks that make the riverbed. If only I could tear out my heart and hurl it into the current, then my pain and longing would be over, and I could finally forget.鈥�

鈥淚n real life, love has to be possible. Even if it is not returned right away, love can only survive when the hope exists that you will be able to win over the person you desire.鈥�

鈥淏ut love is much like a dam; if you allow a tiny crack to form through which only a trickle of water can pass, that trickle will quickly bring down the whole structure and soon no one will be able to control the force of the current.鈥�

鈥淏y the River Piedra I sat down and wept. There is a legend that everything falls into the waters of this river 鈥� leaves, insects, the feathers of bird 鈥� is transformed into the rocks that make the riverbed. If only I could tear out my heart and hurl it into the current, then my pain and longing would be over, and I could finally forget.鈥�
And so the novel starts out. The most beautiful opening paragraph I鈥檝e ever read in my life. And unless you are heartless or have never been in love, I don鈥檛 know how this wouldn鈥檛 at least rank somewhere on your list of most beautiful passages.
was written by Paulo Coelho. He is best known for writing which just so happens to be my least favorite of the three books I鈥檝e read by him. My introduction to Coehlo was which was, like the other two I read, a beautiful story of love. Neither of those however prepared me for the beauty I would find in that very first paragraph of the novel.
It then continues:
By the River Piedra I sat down and wept. The winter air chills the tears on my cheeks, and my tears fall into the cold waters that course past me. Somewhere this river joins another, then another, until 鈥� far from my heart and sight 鈥� all of them merge with the sea."
A couple pages later the protagonist, Pilar, takes us back to the beginning to tell the story of how she ended up weeping for this young man. They seemed to have always loved each other, even as childhood friends. However, they grew up and took separate paths in life. He chose to leave their small town to learn about the world (a theme present in both The Alchemist and The Zahir) while she chose to take the prescribed path of enrolling in a nearby university. They kept in touch throughout his travels, and one day he invited Pilar to hear him give a lecture in Madrid.
The story is a whirlwind from here. Pilar struggles to accept and embrace her feelings for him. He struggles to reconcile his love for the seminary, the gifts he has been given and the love he has held onto for so many years. While the beauty of their love story as it unfolds kept me wanting more, I found myself disappointed, especially toward the end when I didn鈥檛 feel the same intensity of emotions as I did with the opening paragraphs.
Like the other Coelho books I鈥檝e read, By The River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept carries a spiritual theme, as he touches quite a bit on the mystical nature of God. In this particular piece, he focuses on the young man鈥檚 belief in a feminine God that grants him the power to heal. For some this may be an appealing aspect of Coehlo鈥檚 writings, but it tends to throw me off. It gives me some of the same vibes that the gave me, which is more eerie than anything else.
Nonetheless, I enjoyed this book. I have two more books by Coelho that I want to read. And if you know me, you鈥檒l know that there are VERY few authors from whom I鈥檝e read more than one book. I must really like this guy.

This is another book of Coelho which couldn't give me satisfaction as what does. I learn a lot from .
However, it still a nice one.
It gives proof that Coelho has a deep knowledge and skills about diverse religions, although it is clear that that He has more about Christianity. However, it might be hard for those non-Christianity readers when they read this book (this is only a guess).
Above all, I do believe that GOD has feminine face. Why I can say that? Well, we are, humans, were created through GOD's image. And I believe that each of us has both, feminine and masculine factors. It just a matter of in what context we put ourselves.
I love the way Coelho says in this book, that every religions put different names for GOD. Thus, every religion are good. Unfortunately, I still can't find the right quotation of it.
Last, I do feel grateful for Coelho. He reminds me to keep on believing GOD's will in my life. To not easily give up, since there always be a rainbow after rain...

I'm not entirely sure this was the best Coelho to start with, as this story wasn't straightforward in the sense of it making much sense. (I know what I mean.) The writing was creative and the words were sometimes beautiful, just like a few decorative bows had placed, mostly little and often. I wouldn't say this enthralled me, but I was entertained.
If we let it, the book teaches about the power of love, and what sacrifices a person can make for that, and in the case of this book, it was religion. I'll admit that I was slightly moved by a few select scenes, but nothing earth shattering. I felt like the author held back, and I was waiting for elaboration.
This wasn't a disappointment by any means, but it just didn't tick all my boxes. (I own a lot.)

Ok where do I start. Personally for me, whenever you mix religion with a special type of philosophy I get this sense as if someone is calling my name. This book called my name. The character Pilar reflects us all in a way. The man in the story (completely nameless) has loved ever since they were little. They go about roaming in the street for a vacation, but her religion takes a whole different turn.
He guides her through life in a span of a week. Thats pretty cool. They keep mentioning 'Her'. As is the Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus and mother to all. What kept me reading was how they discussed god consisting of both male and female. God has a face of a woman and a man. I know, shocking... this is just a VERY brief summary to what the book has to offer. Coelho never disappoints. (Except for The Spy, I'm not really sure what he was thinking.)

Hace A脩OS que quer铆a leer esto, b谩sicamente por el t铆tulo tan evocador, porque 驴qui茅n no ha tenido ganas de sentarse al borde de un r铆o y llorar? Y entremedio que pase algo interesante, qu茅 entretenido, porque obvio que as铆 ha de ser sino para qu茅 escribir un libro en primer lugar. Es como bien m铆stico y adem谩s misterioso, y la emoci贸n... uf. Nunca hay que subvalorar la importancia de un buen t铆tulo.
Adem谩s, pese a que la gente se engolosina mof谩ndose de Coelho (jaja), a m铆 ME ENCANT脫 "El alquimista", y "Ver贸nica decide morir" me gust贸 bastante tambi茅n. Puros prejuicios con 茅l en la mayor铆a de los casos, en especial, si nos acordamos de que hay gente como KENZABURO OE (Nobel maravilloso, aunque tambi茅n un tanto oscuro) que lo elogia p煤blicamente.
Sin embargo, este libro... no me gust贸. Demasiada parafernalia religiosa, demasiado machismo encubierto m谩s encima en nombre de la mujer, demasiados clich茅s. Hay partes que subray茅 por lo impresionantes que eran en su fanatismo, pero ahora me da pena compartirlas porque c贸mo tan mala onda, y eso que confieso que me hicieron literalmente carcajear (los episodios del "hablar en lenguas" *risa sofocada.) Y luego los tales descubrimientos del tal protagonista/seminarista, etc茅tera... a la horita, pues. Quiz谩 fue innovador hace varias d茅cadas, pero pretender que hoy sea rupturista decir que las mujeres est谩n a la misma altura que los hombres... nah. Migajas, por decir lo menos.
En fin, que encontr茅 que gran parte de la historia no era necesaria y que, en el anhelo de hacerla m铆stica (hablar en lenguas, milagros), qued贸 media caricaturesca. Adem谩s, no s茅, me sent铆 como leyendo el diario de vida de unos adolescentes. Quiz谩 la cuarentena ha terminado de matar el sentido de romance en m铆, jajaja.
Pero tiene partes muy dulces, y algunas nociones interesantes y distintas, y no fue un completo no para m铆. Coelho es definitivamente un buen narrador, aunque en esta ocasi贸n le haya puesto mucho, as铆 que siento que debo darle al menos dos estrellas.
Un par de citas que destaqu茅:
1.
Es necesario correr riesgos, dec铆a. S贸lo entendemos del todo el milagro de la vida cuando dejamos que suceda lo inesperado. Todos los d铆as Dios nos da, junto con el sol, un momento en el que es posible cambiar todo lo que nos hace infelices. Todos los d铆as tratamos de fingir que no percibimos ese momento, que ese momento no existe, que hoy es igual que ayer y ser谩 igual que ma帽ana. Pero quien presta atenci贸n a su d铆a, descubre un instante de silencio despu茅s del almuerzo, en las mil y una cosas que nos parecen iguales.
Ese momento existe: un momento en el que toda la fuerza de las estrellas pasa a trav茅s de nosotros y nos permite hacer milagros. La felicidad es a veces una bendici贸n, pero por lo general es una conquista.
2. Un tanto duro el tal maestro, pero no deja de tener su punto.
Pobre del que tiene miedo a correr riesgos. Porque 茅se quiz谩 no se decepcione nunca, ni tenga desilusiones, ni sufra como los que persiguen un sue帽o. Pero al mirar hacia atr谩s - porque siempre miramos hacia atr谩s - oir谩 al coraz贸n que le dice: "驴Qu茅 hiciste con los milagros que Dios sembr贸 en tus d铆as? 驴Qu茅 hiciste con los talentos que tu Maestro te confi贸? Los enterraste en el fondo de una cueva, porque ten铆as miedo de perderlos. Entonces, 茅sta es tu herencia: la certeza de que has desperdiciado tu vida".
3. Ac谩 me molest贸 un poco c贸mo asignan todo el poder de la naturaleza a las mujeres. Los hombres tambi茅n son parte del yin yang. Endiosarnos tanto encuentro que es un tipo subterr谩neo y bastante frecuente de discriminaci贸n encubierta.
- Mientras los hombres sal铆an a cazar, nosotras nos qued谩bamos en las cavernas, en el vientre de la Madre, cuidando a nuestros hijos - prosigui贸 ella-. Y fue all铆 donde la Gran Madre nos ense帽贸 todo. El hombre viv铆a en movimiento, mientras nosotras est谩bamos en el vientre de la Madre. Eso nos hizo percibir que las semillas se transformaban en plantas y avisamos a nuestros hombres. Hicimos el primer pan y los alimentamos. Moldeamos el primer vaso para que bebiesen. Y entendimos el ciclo de la creaci贸n porque nuestro cuerpo repet铆a el ciclo de la luna.
4. Ac谩 ten铆a subrayada la cita de la hablada en lenguas, pero despu茅s encontr茅 que era un tanto maldadoso, jeje.
5. Machismo encubierto otra vez. Aunque la intenci贸n subyacente probablemente sea buena.
- Quiero hablar de otro tipo de amor - insisti贸 -. Aquel que comparten un hombre y una mujer y en el que tambi茅n se manifiestan los milagros. Le cog铆 las manos. 脡l pod铆a conocer los misterios de la Diosa, pero de amor sab铆a tanto como yo. Por mucho que hubiese viajado. Y tendr铆a que pagar un precio: la iniciativa. Porque la mujer paga el precio m谩s alto: la entrega.

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 realize 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.
