paulo coelho - eleven minutes

"In all the languages in the world,
there is the same proverb: "wat the eyes dont see, the heart doesnt grieve over."

well, i say that there isnt an ounce of truth in it.
The further off they are,
the closer to the heart are all those feelings that we try to repress and forget.
If we're in exile,
we want to store away every tiny memory of our roots.
If we're far from the person we love,
everyone we pass in the street reminds us of them."
