By The River Piedra, I Sat Down and Wept by Paulo Coelho

“True love is an act of total surrender”. (I don’t know what this means)

“To love is to be in communion with the other and to discover in that other the spark of God”. (This I understand a bit better)

The River Piedra is in a small village in the French Pyrenees. Pilar is writing her story on the bank of the river. Her hands are freezing, her legs are numb but she must write her story of love so she can toss it into the Piedra and be free of it.

The main focus of this book is the many conflicts we face in search for love. But there’s a lot of talk of Priests, Angels, God, Mother Theresa and so on.
