Set as a fable about a shepherd boy who believes he needs to travel to Egypt to find his personal legend in the pyramids it is really about bigger life lessons. That life is meant to be lived and that often what we have searched for has been right there with us all along.
I read the book and thought 'oh that was a lovely sentiment' and then thought I'd forget all about it, but my sub-conscious had other ideas. That night I had this beautiful dream about attending a wedding on an island that was somewhat dangerous. As we were focused focused on staying safe and doing what the staff were telling us, I looked up through a foggy morning and saw the most beautiful cliff side village. I turned to the person standing next to me and said, "thank you for making me come here. I would never have seen this if you weren't getting married here."
Who it was and where I was, I have no idea, but there was a feeling of overwhelming awe and at the same time a sense of being right where I belonged in the world and very much alive.
I wish I could find that feeling of awe and rightness in my everyday, waking life.
