Which part of nature didn’t Santiago speak to when he was trying to turn himself into the wind?

The trees: Recall that Santiago, at this point, lived in the desert, so there were no trees. In addition, with the exception of their seeds, trees were stationary elements of nature because they were rooted to their position.

The Desert: As a shepherd, Santiago lived a nomadic life, which made it easier to hear the “desert’s voice”.

The Wind: Santiago learned from the high priest of the tribe that he had to speak to the element that he wanted to become a part of.

The Sun: As a Catholic, Santiago did not worship The Sun as the Egyptians did, neither did the Muslims; the Bedouin people of the tribe that Santiago became a part of practiced Islam and therefore Muslim.

To demonstrate that the start of a journey is more important than its conclusion, that there are important lessons in the beginning that should not be forgotten, that we need to stay humble in our pursuits of our Personal Legend.

To demonstrate that faith is more important as we pursue our Personal Legends than our own efforts. We need organized religion to get us to the places where we need to go.
