Truths

In the mists of crazy that I'm currently experiencing, I'm looking for all the truths I can find. Not anything specifically true, but something or someone who speaks truthfully to me, something that resonates within me. Some light within the darkness, if you will. It is during this quest, that I have found wonderful things and people. And I choose this post to name one of them. Elizabeth Gilbert, and specifically her book, "Eat, Pray, Love."

I found it one day in Borders and very unlike me, I didn't read the back cover to see if it was of interest to me. I just sat down and read it, crying and laughing in the cafe of the local Borders. Yes, I'm a sorry sight right now. But this book helped. I read it cover to cover in one sitting, which for me is the true test of a book's "truth" to me. If a book speaks to me, I read it cover to cover and am normally both simultaneously crying and smiling at the end of it. I recently checked out the book on tape from the library and I highly recommend it as it's read by the author.

As weapons against the storm of my darkness, books and Jill Scott CD's are not the best weapons, but they're the best I have available at this moment in time, other than myself, and she's quite bruised and tired, so I guess they'll have to do.
