The Valkyries



Just finished reading The Valkyries by Paulo Coelho, a novel which meaning I did not understand at first time. I mean, angels? Do they even exist? Yeah, this one novel is talking about Angels, about how Paulo struggled to meet his angel, flying and driving all the way down to Mexio from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Just to meet his angel, without knowing how. Crazy as it may sound, but he followed his heart. And that's the consistent message he was trying to say.


However, I see this book as one moral value teaching us to believe that angels do exist, that we are not alone thefore we should not be afraid to anything nor anybody. Solitude is the worst enemy ever, the book might say. But then we shall let the stubborness to find our angels, will let us meet one. Just like what Paulo experienced.


And here we go to the best quote, as I always did to recommend the previous books,

"We are not alone. The world is changing, and we are a part of the transformation. The angels guide us and protect us. Despite all the injustice in the world, and despite the things that happen to us that we feel we don't deserve, and despite the fact that we sometimes feel incapable of changing what is wrong with people and with the world, and despite all of the Grand Inquisitor's argumetns - love is even stronger, and it will help us to grow. Only then will we be able to understand the stars and miracles."


Love is indeed very strong. It shall conquer all.
