I found a book to take me out of my reading slump. This is it: Eat Pray Love, by Elizabeth Gilbert.
I initialy shyed away from it because it was so popular. I took the cover to be a little cliche, and only once perused through the India section at a bookstore in San Francisco before my own trip to India.
My American girlfriends here lent me the book, it's pages worn, with sentences underlined, and the cover curled and dirty. This was one LOVED book. So I begin to read it.
This book is to me, as chicken soup is to a cold. It reads naturally, comfortingly, and great. I love it. Being a woman traveler who loves, searches for God and loves to eat, I completely relate to her book. In fact, it gives me strength.
I most relate to her search for God portion in India. Through her writing, she has encouraged me to meditate. I have meditated for stunts of time in the past, but it's never been a practice I've held on to. My mind has been acting more monkeyish that usual lately, and I started to see the necessity in finding a practice to slow the gears of my mind down.
Thank you Megan, Katie, Neha, Cristina for this book!
I love it.
