Eat, Pray, Love, but did you ever have a child?



The movie was great, better than I expected. Julia Roberts actually did a , bang up job, she lets herself be seen at a raw place, and that's unexpected and refreshing. She suffers from problems with meditation, as I do. I respect people who are searching. One thing that came to mind, in her journey, she did not have children. Not only did she not have them, she had not suffered the loss of them. So, you see, we are different. We do love with abandon, and cherish all that life has to offer. She just has not loved so deeply as a mother, it's just a fact. To be a mother, is the most intimate thing there is, I think. To bury a child, is beyond anyone's ability to grasp. I watched the movie with love, and adoration, and desire to be a better person. I wondered in my thoughts, at what you would have done, Ms. Elizabeth, to love a child, and lose that child. Is there a mantra for that, I think not. Not only do I not have the ability to travel and escape my grief, I don't know how. I thank you for inspiring me to keep searching, I believe in love and myself and I know my child is a part of the universe. I also know, that there is no place to help me heal. Thank you for giving me , food for thought, and Javier Bardem. You are an angel, Ms. Elizabeth, unaware.
