By the river pier I sat down and wept

Paulo Coelho in his novel "On the Piedra there I sat and cried" resumes his own journey to explore the depths of the human psyche, diving into the contradictions of a being who is always placed before the crucial personal choices of his individual destiny. A journey of self-discovery in search of its hidden truths and experiences of feelings that always make it vulnerable to cracks of tranquility and anxiety, happiness and misery, certainty and confusion. However, by chance, she met a relative of her childhood; it became clear to her that he was endowed with the ability to heal and to speak to souls. And if Pilar chose to stay with him for a while, all the questions she thought she had long forgotten came back to her. When he confided in her his love, she began to doubt the usefulness of her previous life, becoming confused about her. Will she yield to his passion for her and open her heart to him, or will she continue her hopeless life? Pilar chooses to always be by his side, in giving all he has and all his beloved abilities to serve the Lord. But can a person who vows himself to the love of God also be given the love of a woman in his heart? In this novel, Coelho tries to raise, in depth, the issue of the apparent contradiction between the different paths that individuals may take in order to fulfill their destinies. Because their quest on earth is futile if it is devoid of love.
