This is our sweet sanctuary (Note: to new account_***)

Great book revealing one of the legendary story and mysteries of Athene, the so called witch of Portobello of her age.

Life is about perceptions—my perception of who I am, where I am going, my behaviors but it is also about other people's perceptions of me. I have to take care to see me through my eyes and your eyes for there is truth in each perception. Paulo Coelho has written a book with each chapter told by a person in Athena's life and they each share their perceptions of events and Athena with us, the reader in a way that Athena's life flows forward. Like his other novels, the book is well-written. The story will make you look at how you view the world—your perceptions and preconceptions—you will relate to Athena. The question is "Who is Athena"? There are many answers and they are all true—to me she is a teacher, a pupil and a guide.

So is she in all of us or one of us?
