October 2011- "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho

“Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure.  You’ve got to find the treasure, so that everything you have learned along the way can make sense."


We had an uplifting and enlightening discussion about how we are all connected through the pursuit of our dreams.   We discussed how  the hand of God guides us toward our destiny according to our willingness to connect with Him.   The greatest treasure of our lives in found in the journey we take to find our personal treasure.  Love is the purpose, possibility, and result of that journey.  We discussed the metaphor of the oil on the spoon.  We concluded that they key to life is to find a balance between "minding the oil" and appreciating the scenery.   Balance is the key.


“The boy reached through to the Soul of the World, and saw that it was part of the Soul of God. And he saw that the Soul of God was his own soul. And that he, a boy, could perform miracles.”
