”I’ve learned things from the sheep, and I’ve learned things from crystal, he thought. I can learn something from the desert, too. It seems old and wise”

This whole book feels like reading through a simple yet deep metaphor describing the great loss of potential many people have but never truly fulfill; due to lifes many challanges and it's network of constant upheaval we get stuck or find ourself stranded on a crossroad without knowing why, this book, so greatly written by Paulo Coelho, gives life to the words describing that hollow pain. I love it thus far.
