   Paulo I so wish I had discovered your wonderful books 6 months ago. I live 60 miles from Glasgow and cant believe you were there so recently and I missed you.
   A good friend gave me The Alchemist to read last month and since then, I have read all of your books and reading them has healed my heart. Your words of wisdom could have been written for me, I have chosen a new path now and found love in my life after a long time.
   Your books gave me the courage to do that and I am forever grateful.
   By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept is the most beautiful love story I have ever read and a book I shall always treasure.
   If you ever come to Scotland again, I should love to be there.
   Thank you so much.

   You are such a humble and sweet, beautiful person. I love you!

   No wonder your books are so popular, because they contain a part of your soul and your soul really is a treasure.

   I would like to share a poem I wrote of my awakening in your beautiful land. Some of my experiences can quite possibly never be compacted into words. I always say: my body is American, but my heart and soul is of Brasil! Peace. Jessica :O)

   Obrigada Brasil

   Senhora Brasil,

   SO small
   in your presence
   I climb through your
   monkey love vines
   of swinging,
   jungle mane
   woven in Christ
   who adorns you
   with crown of
   outstretched arms

   Rio,
   he watches
   over your night

   I bathe in your
   gentle rivers of cleanse,
   where waterfalls weep
   for empty pockets,
   homeless men,
   jobless streets,
   dusted hope

   I hear you whisper
   in elder streets
   Santa Theresa,
   Paratay,
   Lapa,
   you shelter
   the poor, but
   rich in spirit!

   A favella child’s
   hand of need
   suckles your
   giving breast
   of leite life

   As your spiritual belly
   of blue agua grace
   stretches like blown glass
   onto Ipanema’s
   golden praia sheets
   of sensual mood

   I adore your
   ocean glance,
   samba step,
   conga beat,
   essence of life

   Obrigada Senhora

   Um beiju!
