We enjoyed a "special" gathering at Esther's home last Wednesday to spend some time with member and friend Chris Peek before she heads south again in October. The meal shared was wonderful as was the conversation. We discussed "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho, one of Esther's two book selections. A tale of a young man in search of his personal legend. We discussed moments in our lives when we followed our instincts and have been all the better because of it. We also discussed thought-provoking philosophy on religion and the universe. "...all people who are happy have God within them. And that happiness could be found in a grain of sand...because a grain of sand is a moment of creation, and the universe has taken millions of years to create it." "...The winds know everything. They blow across the world without a birthplace, and with no place to die. I have inside me the winds, the deserts, the oceans, the stars, and everything created in the universe. We were all made by the same hand, and we have the same soul."
