I'd like to meet:

"THE ALCHEMIST knew the legend of Narcissus, a youth who knelt daily beside a lake to contemplate his own beauty...One morning he fell into the lake and drowned...When Narcissus died, the goddess of the forest appeared and found the lake, which had been fresh water transformed into a lake of salty tears. 'Why do you weep?' the goddess asked. 'I weep for Narcissus' the lake replied. 'Ah, it is no surprise...you alone could contemplate his beauty close at hand.' 'But was Narcissus beautiful?' the lake asked. 'Who better than you to know that?' the goddess said in wonder...The lake was silent for some time. Finally it said, 'I weep for Narcissus, but I never noticed that Narcissus was beautiful. I weep because, each time he knelt beside my banks, I could see, in the depth of his eyes, my own beauty reflected.’ ‘What a lovely story, ’ the alchemist thought.†~Paulo Coelho
