It is a light and loose book that we read as enjoy an adventure film. There is no dense as man turning into insects or impacting insights in the maid's room. In it, a wise lightness as fresh fruits on table.
the adventuress is an american woman on thirties going through a crisis in her marriage when she discovers it's not quite what she wanted from life. Now what? How to comunicate this to her husband with whom she had plans to buy a house and have children? Of course, the boy was not happy with this sudden change of direction.
Aware that she could not leave the marriage without causing damage to the heart of her husband, she felt as if under a quarry about to collapse, or rather as if knocking on a stone quarry down over someone.
One night, deeply embittered, kneeling in tears on the bathroom floor, suddenly she realized that she needed to deliver all that weight to someone or something stronger than her.Something she had heard about but until now only existing in a state of pure possibility. God. This all power and goodness that takes care of us. God is simple and concret when we open our hearts.
That's what appealed to me in this book. A flight to God. At first it was difficult for our adventurous, with whole this story of guilt and depression, but such was its ability to deliver that soared and glided like a seagull on the sea.
She is very frisky and extended its search for social circles and cultures radically different from their native culture. She followed her intuition and made the travels a kind of initiations where she looks for answers to her questions.
Modern thought is predominantly materialistic and do not have much good will toward the faith. It's no wonder. Religions, with its profusion of cultural traits and intentional scams are not exactly a heaven of sanity. Priestly privileges, bloody wars, hunger for power is a short summary of how crazy religions produced. However, mixing God with this confusion is a foolish answer to consistent questions. God simply is. The confusion we do.
Eat, pray, love could be also called the story of how evolution and modernity are not in contradiction with faith. Abode in an Ashram, meditation techniques, friendship with a polynesian shaman are some of the themes of the adventures. Experiences with soul and confidence by someone who found a spiritual feast and drank and ate getting a deep and lasting healing.
No, it's not so hard.Also we don't need to travel to Italy or India or Polynesia. Divinity is always right here where we are, only we need "have eyes to see and ears to hear". the journey of faith requires some work, but it's not unattainable. Within us all vehicles, stations and ports.
