Paulo CoelhoI gaze lovingly at "Hilal" a love that is reflected through time or what we imagine to be time, as in a mirror. She was never mine and never will be; that is how it is.

We can approach and even dabble our toes in the river but we are forbidden to plunge in and let ourselves be carried along by the current.
