there are few truths in the world that i whole-heartedly believe in, but i remember the first time i read this quote it was like my mind was read.
i think it’s just lovely.
“The Physics of The Quest — a force of nature governed by laws as real as the laws of gravity or momentum. The rule of Quest Physics maybe goes like this:
If you are brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting (which can be anything from your house to your bitter old resentments) and set out on a truth-seeking journey (either externally or internally), and if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue, and if you accept everyone you meet along the way as a teacher, and if you are prepared – most of all – to face (and forgive) some very difficult realities about yourself… then truth will not be withheld from you.'”

I feel this overwhelming urge to let you know that at the exact same moment you were typing this quote, I was watching Eat Pray Love for the very first time. I finished it around 11:30a.m. this morning. I also felt it necessary to jot down a quote from the end of the movie and saved it in my Blackberry. “Sometimes, to lose balance for love is part of living a balanced life.” Funny and strange timimg. Love your work!
too funny jaime!!! haha i love it :) hope all is well!
