    <body><![CDATA[What are you expecting other than a spiritual journey from this book? Well it is his journey across Spain's Road in order to find himself. Something that I've heard and seen in a movie [Darjeling Limited:] but I supposed I haven't had the chance to conduct it. Or I might have lacked a courage to begin it!<br/><br/>Of all the exercises he introduces, the Speed Exercise dumbfounded me. The minute I read the exercise, it reminds me to the regular road I have anytime I go and back from work. There's one old man, he's about 50 to 60 years old and his hair is turning white, sitting in front one of the house. Every morning and evening I found him exactly at the same bench, sometimes with his bycicle beside him. It's like having a father checking that his little daughter goes to work and back home safely and sound.<br/><br/>His quest of finding the sword is resembling our quests of finding what is lacking in our live actually. Are we looking for perfect life, which I think is an absurd concept, or finding out how to make it perfect?!<br/><br/>***<br/><br/>Jelas sekali ini buku tentang perjalanan spiritual. Perjalanan Paulo Coelho di Jalan Santiago yang berada di Spanyol, perjalanan spiritual untuk mencari jatidirinya. Aku sudah sering mendengar dan menontonnya di film [Darjeling Limited salah satunya:] namun sepertinya aku belum berkesempatan melakukannya. Atau mungkin tidak punya nyali untuk memulainya!<br/><br/>Dari semua latihan yang dia sebutkan, Latihan Kecepatan membuatku tertegun. Saat aku membacanya aku ingat tentang jalan yang selalu aku lalui ketika berangkat dan pulang dari kantor. Di jalan itu ada seorang pria yang berusia sekitar 50 - 60 tahun dengan rambut yang mulai memutih semua duduk di depan rumahnya. Setiap pagi dan malam aku menemukannya duduk di bangku yang sama, terkadang ada sepeda di sebelahnya. Rasanya seperti seorang ayah yang memastikan anak perempuannya pergi bekerja dan kembali dengan selamat.<br/><br/>Pencarian pedang yang dia lakukan sama seperti perjuangan kita mencari tahu apa sebenarnya yang kurang dalam hidup kita. Apakah kita mencari kehidupan yang sempurna, walau menurutku konsep itu absurd, atau mencari tahu bagaimana membuat kehidupan itu menjadi sempurna?!<br/>]]></body>
