Omens

There were no chapters in the Alchemist.

I only realised when I started searching for one to know where and when to pause my read for the book for the day. I guess like the boy's pursuit for his Personal Legend, the journey more often turns to become a twisted staircase filled with surprises, and unexpected events.
In search of what I expected to exist; the beginning and end of a chapter.
Until I told myself, okay, 50 pages. Since there are no chapters. I was tempted to flip over to see where page 50 lands, but for some reason, I didn't.

When I reached page 49, the back shadow of the coarse brown paper looked different.

Omens.
I only got to see it towards the end, and  this is maybe an omen to me, to keep going even in uncertainty.
