eat pray love

Anyone who knows me knows that technology usually gets the best of me, so this post is just to try out this whole blogging endeavor, and I'm using it to gush about Elizabeth Gilbert's book eat pray love. I adore it. Elizabeth Gilbert is a writer who, after going through a nasty divorce, decided to take a year and try to find balance in her life. To do this, she traveled to Italy, India, and Indonesia to explore the concepts of pleasure, prayer, and finally, finding a balance between the two. I think the concept of finding a balance between the physical world of pleasure we inhabit through our senses and the spiritual world we inhabit through our expression of devotion or faith is interesting, and the writing is at times unexpectedly beautiful and laugh-out-loud funny.
