in order to arrive you must follow the signs.
God inscribed on the world
the path that each man must follow.
it is just a matter of reading
the inscription He wrote for you.
-the alchemist
in his or her life
each person can take one of two attitudes:
to build or to plant.
builders may take years over their tasks,
but one day they will finish what they are doing.
then they will stop, hemmed in by their own walls.
life becomes meaningless
once the building is finished.
those who plant suffer the storms
and the seasons an rarely rest.
unlike a building, a garden never stop growing.
ang by its constant demands
on the gardener’s attention
it makes of te gardener’s life a great adventure.
-brida
