Tears swell up in my eyes as I finished reading The Witch of Portobello.
The last words are very true and simple so I ask myself why must I make it complicated. It is what it is.
So when I finished reading The Witch of Portobello the last words made me think of this passage from the bible. Exodus 3:14
But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and lead the Israelites out of Egypt?”
12
He answered, “I will be with you; and this shall be your proof that it is I who have sent you: when you bring my people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this very mountain.”
13
“But,” said Moses to God, “when I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ if they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what am I to tell them?”
14
6 God replied, “I am who am.” Then he added, “This is what you shall tell the Israelites: I AM sent me to you.”
15
God spoke further to Moses, “Thus shall you say to the Israelites: The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. “This is my name forever; this is my title for all generations.
I believe God is Love and Love is God: Every time I read one of Paulo Coelho’s books something Divine is awakened inside of me. Umm umm umm so I smile.

Nika,
I am sorry to find that I can no longer read you on your blog. I found it was best to password protect my old one, so I will admit that I understand that sometimes the Warrior of the Light has to pull back a bit from the fray.
I also underatand the feeling the last words of “Witch” may have given you; and your sense that in reading Mr. Coehlo’s books that something divine awakens in you.
You introduced me to his works and I will always feel a kinship with you for that even if we never exchange words with one another again.
Thank you.
