life size message written by Paul Read thereby becoming a necessity for
everyone to read it. Paul was born in London, the United Kingdom who moved to

act of Miguel, that he is crazy that appears to be apparently correct too. But
on the other hand Miguel has a different style of thinking, living, looking at
things and the world. He believes in following his inner voice and thereby
building
a different stock of wisdom for him that keeps guiding and directing him.
Miguel loves peace and calmness in life and that is what he continuously
strives for. He has his own land in the village where he does olive farming
mostly. Miguel impresses his village mates with his different kind of vision,
philosophy and living style and relations. He believes in hard work.
