Eat Pray (or) Love

Levam-me ao cinema para ver este “chick flick”. Lamechas q.b., parece-me inevitável que toda a gente se reconheça em alguma parte da história, porque é sempre fácil quando não se trata da nossa e há sempre algum pormenor que parece muito nosso.
Exemplos fáceis de entender, mesmo sem imagens (*):

“People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.
A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave.
A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master...”

“This is a good sign, having a broken heart. It means we have tried for something.”

“To lose balance sometimes for love is part of living a balanced life.”

“- But I love him.
- So love him.
- But I miss him.
- So miss him. Send him some love and light every time you think about him, then drop it. You’re just afraid to let go of the last bits of David because then you’ll be really alone, and Liz Gilbert is scared to death of what will happen if she’s really alone. But here’s what you gotta understand, Groceries. If you clear out all that space in your mind that you’re using right now to obsess about this guy, you’ll have a vacuum there, an open spot – a doorway. And guess what the universe will do with the doorway? It will rush in – God will rush in – and fill you with more love than you ever dreamed. So stop using David to block that door. Let it go.”

(*) o filme tem também grandes imagens da mais bela cidade do Universo.

Como em muitos casos, o livro e' trilioes de vezes melhor que o filme....

É provável que sim, mas como não me estou a ver a ler o "chick book", fiquei-me pela versão condensada "on-screen" e pelo copy&paste das ideias interessantes que a internet permite...

Sim, Roma! A mais bela cidade do Universo, cheia de recantos, plena de encantos e wine-bars agradáveis para as noites de meia-estação. :)
