I have been reading another book by Paulo Coelho, The Valkyries. So far he talks of trying to talk to/seeing your angel, and that the angels are love in motion. Before Paulo and his wife Chris even start talking to their angels and are walking through the Mojave desert, Chris says something that made me really think. She says "We are always looking at the things that are closer to us. Looking down nd inward. So our power diminishes, and our soul shrinks. Because our soul includes nothing but ourselves." Alot of people throughout life complain about things that involve only themselves. Do you have a friend who whenever you talk to them, are only concerned with what is going on in their life and won't even give you the chance to talk about your issues good or bad?
I think too often we are too concerned with the things that only involve us. We don't look at things that include anyone else let alone God. The book talks about looking at the horizon and taking in everything in the world just not what is in our immediate surroundings. We dont look at things that could involve God or see that God is involved in everything. We wnt everything to fit into our little box, our little circle, but really God doesnt fit into anything we try to stuff him into. We need to realize the world does not revolve around ourselves. Sure our issues can be big and overwhelming but we cannot let that become the only thing we concern ourselves with. Friends and family need us...God needs us and we need him
