There are ‘doing’ days and there are ‘absorbing/thinking’ days. Today was the latter.
{ Here } is a wonderful Ted talk from the author of ‘Eat, Pray,Love’ on inspiration and its transcendence (thankyou to my friend Momen for sharing this). I must admit I was wary of the book, and of ‘jumping on the band wagon’, but through this talk I could see Elizabeth Gilbert, sans-hype: a brilliant thinker, enlighting, humorous, with not an ounce of self-importance. She reminded me of an academic, and I wonder if she ever taught: her caring and accessibility would make her a formidable teacher. I like to think, in another life, I would have met her, and we’d be fast friends.
It’s been couple of days filled with love, music, colors, soulful food, words, friendship. Eyes exposed to new sights, hands holding crafts and design objects, papers, manufactured desires. I have basked in the scent of hand-picked books, curated lives, and held manuscripts I know I will never have the time or chance to read.
May all your days be full of enchantment, wonder, and the humble realization that we are, all of us, forever perched on the edge of knowledge. We can only gaze at this sea, be open to it- arms wide.
Trust that all that is meant for you to see, read, discover,and, yes, love will no doubt alight your path.
