“Eat pray love”, a wonderful book by Elizabeth Gilbert is not only inspirational but also touches your hungry soul seeking for answers.
As soon as I finished reading I opened my laptop and played Julia Robert’s 2010 movie of the same name. The movie turned out to be extremely beautiful both because of amazing storyline and my favorite Julia Roberts. In that movie, an Italian tutor teaches Julia this famous Italian phrase ” Attraversiamo”, which means let’s cross over.
This small word of wisdom made me realize how important it is to accept transformation and move on. I look at my life, and I marvel at the number of crossovers that I have had to take to be where I am. Not that I have achieved all the success I demanded, but from where I look, I have travelled a long way.
Majority of us fear transformation and change reason being we hardly get over things we did in the past and so it becomes a tedious job for us to just cross over and let it go. Rather we tend to juxtapose our past and present and entangle ourselves dealing with what to expect and what to accept. This strange relationship of ours with pain, memories and traumas proves our insufficiency to forget what we need to forget.
We learnt the art of management, art of dealing with crises, perhaps some of us would have learned to manage relationships which is commendable by the way, but after watching this movie I learnt something new which is art of doing nothing. This art is the rarest. True enjoyment is to free our mind from all kind of thoughts, and that can be done in several ways like meditation, sleeping, enjoying music and enjoying nature which is the ultimate creation of god.
When the night fall, let go of your stress
When the due drops fall, let go of your laziness
When you eat, let go of the hunger
When you smile, let go of the pain that you suffered.
I choose to love again, breathe again, live again, life’s true meaning
Attraversiamo- ” Lets cross” and reach a new beginning. Today I choose to free myself and cross over to a new chapter of my life, with a hope that one day the whole world will cross over with me.
