Eat, Pray, Love

I've reading the Eat Pray Love book by Elizabeth Gilbert right now... I've seen it be a best seller for months now and finally decided it might be time to give it a try. It's actually a great read... She is a talented writer who can draw connections between very disparate things. I've finished the Eat section (her 4 months in Italy), the Pray section (her 4 months in an ashram in India) and am now in the Love section (her months in Indonesia)... I especially connected with her section on India... although I did feel my taste buds start oozing while reading the Italy section. She seems to have a love affair with pasta! And Italy in general... The India section though was very revealing... her time in the Ashram... her struggle with meditation... her ideas on the divine and our place in it... All of it jiving with what I've been reading elsewhere... and my own sense of our role in the universe. It's nice to see it coming from so many different directions!
