What you're searching for is actually right next to you.
"Life, if you keep chasing it so hard, will drive you to death. Time—when pursued like a bandit—will behave like one; always remaining one country or one room ahead of you, changing its name and hair color to elude you, slipping out the back door of the motel just as you’re banging through the lobby with your newest search warrant, leaving only a burning cigarette in the ashtray to taunt you. At some point you have to stop because it won’t. You have to admit that you can’t catch it. That you’re not supposed to catch it…allow contentment to come to you."
--From Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert

ReplyDeleteI have yet to read this book. Is it really as good as everyone says? I'm skeptical of hype.

Ellen, unfortunately, I found it on Tumblr! So I don't have the name of the photographer.
