It is so amazing that you’ve traveled the Tanssiberian route, which ends up in the city where i am coming from. Unfortunately, i wasn’t able to see you there, because i live in another country now. I hope during your time in Russia you’ve had an opportunity to feel that our cultures have a lot of similarities. I’m dating a Brazilian boy now and every time i am surprised – i cook exactly the same food he used to eat in Brasil, the same way of thinking, the same habits. Isn’t it just a wonderful world? ;)
Good luck to you Paulo in everything you do! Thank you for visiting my country!

Thank you. I have thought the same many times, about passing from somewhere for the first and last time, but I was told that trees and animals are under the Archangel of their species, they do not have 'individuality'.
The saddest thing in life is that we have to say 'good byes' to people that we love, that are a part of our lives. The most unbearable is the last farewell, death.
LOVE,

El viajar en tren es uno de los actos más placenteros que un individuo puede tener, donde uno puede respirar adentro y hondo alegrías del corazón, y no es para nada un acto de sacrificio o incomodidad, es más bien un encuentro de regocijo y felicidad.
Felicidades Paulo y gracias por haberme hecho ver que uno deja de lado los miedos cuando uno viaja y está en movimiento.

Wonderful wisdom of beeing present,thet would do us all good when we would be able to appart ourselfs,and triviality of which are we so attach.Beautiful and true,sometimes we are meeting people for the first and last time in our lives,although they are becoming part of us and staying forever in,we are ought,or not,to say goodbuy.But their light is staying inside and shining through.Beauty of love.

Reminds me of a poem by Robinson Jeffers:

“My friend from Asia has magic and powers,
he plucks a blue leaf from the young blue-gum
and gazing upon it, gathering and quieting the God in his mind, creates an ocean more real than the ocean, the salt, the actual
appalling presence, the power of the waters.
He believes that nothing is real except as we make it….”

Thank you, Paulo Coelho, for sharing your journey with us.

Caro Paulo,

Desculpe,não entendi o vídeo,não entendo a língua inglesa e pouco sei do italiano.Bom…na verdade tenho curiosidade em saber do que se trata(Aliás,tenho que estudar o inglês mais profundamente…rs)
Tenho 16 anos.Moro no Brasil numa cidade a 90 Km de São Paulo ás margens da Dutra.Já faz alguns dias que acabei de ler “O Alquimista”e me encantei com a história.Estou aqui para te dar os parabens pela obra(Embora sei que ja faz muito tempo que essa história foi escrita…Eu nem era nascido!)
Acabei me identificando o Santiago,com o livro aprendi a correr atras do sonhos e a sonhá-los mais intensamente.Também vi que Deus está na verdade nas coisas mais simples da vida e são essas coisas simples que fazem a gente ser feliz.
Li o livro duas vezes.E no último dia antes de entregá-lo à biblioteca de minha cidade,uma colega de sala de aula me indicou outro livro seu.”Onze minutos”.
Estou lendo ele agora.Confesso que fiquei meio chocado no começo mas agora estou vendo que Maria,assim como o Santiago,quer apenas realizar os seus sonhos.
Estou curiosíssimo para saber o final de Onze minutos,aliás já estou na página 101.
Agora não sei que livro ler depois de Onze minutos…
Enfim…Obrigado.A gente nem se conhece…talvez você nem leia esse comentário,mas mesmo assim saiba que seus livros fazem a gente sonhar
como disse o Sr.Maurice Gravelines,o homem a quem você dedica o livro que esto lendo atualmente.(Não consegui definição melhor do que a do velho Maurice…)

Assim escrevo-te.
Um abraço!

Gustavo.

Thinking of the trees smiling to you and saying hello is so poetic, and makes me compare you to Don Helder Camara’s way of viewing the world.

I find Good Bye’s so sad I cannot do them. Instead I always say; ‘See you again’. Traveling the modern way in motorized devices, is very different from walking step by step on our feet, where we can touch and smell and have a much richer encounter with plants and animals and nature. Some places I love the most, I spend much more time and physically know each plant and little creature living there.

For those people able to meet you on your way along the Transiberian route, I’m sure they all agree, any second, any minute in your presence, is worth it. The short moments in life where we are truly loved, are spiritual nutrition to go on for a long, long time.
