I own them

All Color, Numbers & the Universe true (troo) adverb

  1. true(a): having a legally established claim; “the legitimate heir”;
    “the true and lawful king”

One Fateful Day

One fateful day, sometime in 1996, I took ownership of all numbers and colors.  I figured no one else owned them, so they were ripe for the picking.  This was early in my career of taking ownership of things up-own-able.  I now also own the known universe (aside from the moon and Earth).  If you can find my secret page, you can learn more about my real estate agent, and how you van get your hands on a planet of your own! Sorry friends, chartreuse is spoken for – I made a youthful mistake in 2006… I’m sure you understand.

PAULO COELHO’S enchanting novel has inspired a devoted following around the world. This story, dazzling in its powerful simplicity and inspiring wisdom, is about an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago who travels from his homeland in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of a treasure buried in the Pyramids. Along the way he meets a Gypsy woman, a man who calls himself king, and an alchemist, all of whom points Santiago in the direction of his quest. No one knows what the treasure is, or if Santiago will be able to surmount the obstacles along the way. But what starts out as a journey to find wordly goods turns into a discovery of the treasure found within. Lush, evocative, and deeply humane, the story of Santiago is an eternal testament to the transformation power of our dreams and the importance of listening to our hearts.
