I love this quote from the great . The most enlightened, calm, and wise people I know seem to be the ones who can regard all the chaos of the world (including their own disorderly thoughts) as nothing but weather patterns — constantly changing, totally unpredictable, and not worth getting very upset about.
They just watch the clouds roll in and roll out, and observe it all from a place of unshakable serenity and faith.
I strive to be that sort of person someday. The few moments I've had in my life where I was able to stand in that place of unchanging elemental peace have been the happiest moments of my life. Then I inevitably slip back into the churning storyline again…but at least I've experienced the sweetness of a reprieve for a moment.
I have to keep reminding myself that it's not about shutting down the chaos (the chaos will always be with us); it's just about watching it all unfold like a play, rather than joining in the drama.
I'll let you know when I get there, OK?
In the meanwhile, have a beautiful day, everyone — whatever the weather may be where you are (or who you are!)
Heart,
LG

0 – 1.
I just watched Italy lose to Costa Rica in the World Cup — all the while texting my friends in Rome, who are, of course, devastated…ah, the heartbreak of sport!
Congratulations, Costa Rica! And as for Italy: Che palle, dudes. Che palle.
But watching the Italians play today reminded me of the first time I ever attended a soccer match in Rome — an event some of you may remember from page 69 in Eat Pray Love. Certainly the best lesson in Italian vocabulary I ever experienced.
And it also reminded me of the most RECENT time I watched a soccer game in Rome. Both times, with my friend Luca Spaghetti — pictured here. There is hardly any place I would rather be, than in a football stadium with Luca Spaghetti. (OK, maybe a pizzeria…)
We love you, Luca! Sorry for your loss!
Onward,
LG

THE MERCURY RETROGRADE BODY MITTEN!!!
The astrologically-minded amongst you might appreciate this product, especially this month.
A friend sent me the link yesterday and I haven't been able to stop laughing about it…
(Be sure to read the text about how the body mitten is made: "hand-knit by celibate Virgos…unicorn hair…lavender oil")
I'll take three of them, please.
Hang in there, Dear Ones. Hang in there.

Yesterday, I bought a copy of @[227291194019670:274:Elizabeth Gilbert]'s The Signature of All Things in the English bookstore. I've been wanting to read it for a while, particularly to see how she handles writing about the 19th century. I want to see her stylistic choices . . . So far, I really like the book. — in Budapest, Hungary.
