Manuscript Found In Accra:: A Brief Review

Paulo Coehlo’s Manuscript Found in Accra reminded me quite a bit of Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet, but that did not stop me from reading Coehlo’s Manuscript because I knew instinctively that it was packed with plent of great insight and spiritual messages. Manuscript Found in Accra did not disappoint…

Among my favorite insights was this one on solitude:

“Without solitude, Love will not stay long by your side.

Because Love needs to rest, so that it can journey through the heavens and reveal itself in other forms.

Without solitude, no plant or animal can survive, no soil can remain productive, no child can learn about life, no artist can create, no work can grow and be transformed.

Solitude is not the absence of Love but its complement.

Solitude is not the absence of company, but the moment when our soul is free to speak to us and help us decide what to do with our life.”

Indeed at every turn of the page, Manuscript Found in Accra, either reminded me of lessons already learned or taught me new ways to look at the context of my life.

I am a big fan of Coehlo’s work… Manuscript Found in Accra is a must read for seekers of knowledge and answers to life’s pressing questions.
