Part5 Chapter 1The horizon was tinged with red, and suddenly the sun appeared. The boy thought back to that conversation with his father, and felt happy; he had already seen many castles and met many women (but none the equal of the one who awaited him several days hence). He owned a jacket, a book that he could trade for another, and a flock of sheep. But, most important, he was able every day to live out his dream. If he were to tire of the Andalusian fields, he could sell his sheep and go to sea. By the time he had had enough of the sea, he would already have known other cities, other women, and other chances to be happy. I couldn't have found God in the seminary, he thought, as he looked at the sunrise.Whenever he could, he sought out a new road to travel. He had never been to that ruined church before, in spite of having traveled through those parts many times. The world was huge and inexhaustible; he had only to allow his sheep to set the route for a while, and he would discover other interesting things. The problem is that they don't even realize that they're walking a new road every day. They don't see that the fields are new and the seasons change. All they think about is food and water.Maybe we're all that way, the boy mused. Even me—I haven't thought of other women since I met the merchant's daughter. Looking at the sun, he calculated that he would reach Tarifa before midday. There, he could exchange his book for a thicker one, fill his wine bottle, shave, and have a haircut; he had to prepare himself for his meeting with the girl, and he didn't want to think about the possibility that some other shepherd, with a larger flock of sheep, had arrived there before him and asked for her hand.It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting, he thought, as he looked again at the position of the sun, and hurried his pace. He had suddenly remembered that, in Tarifa, there was an old woman who interpreted dreams.Paulo Coelho - The Alchemist CD1 (06).mp3

I think there isn't any force about finding the signs in our life. But maybe, There are thousands of signs in our way during life. Focusing on them can cause discovering a lot of facts. Sometimes they are arranged so that we can't answer the next sign before answering the pervious one. It's exactly like reading a book, If we don't read some parts of it, We won't be able to have a good imagination of the writer's mind.
Maybe better word can be "perfection".
u have some reason to be alive & kicking.when u have some concern about sth & a paradoxcial sense,at the first maybe it bothers u,but gradually it changes delightfully !
In biology, the science of living organisms, life is the condition which distinguishes active organisms from inorganic matter. Living organisms undergo metabolism, maintain homeostasis, possess a capacity to grow, respond to stimuli, reproduce and, through natural selection, adapt to their environment in successive generations.
"respond to stimuli" It is component of life but "how to respond " it could be "quality of life " at first it looks paradoxical .... need and challenge But life is action and reaction of these paradoxical components .
There is some thing hidden in his hand ....Oh ! a peace of dreams ! ..... he'd been floated on dreams there but now he has got only a piece of it ...It could be only a sample . So that man makes ART to keep it alive . Yes ...Dreams were the latest fruits of the heaven and Art was the latest fruits of the earth .
