Had an amazing adventure holiday in St. Lucia w/ hubby. Horseback riding on the beach at sunset is something everyone should try at least once in their lives.

Met with the lovely Mary Pipher on Saturday. She’s the bestselling author of Reviving Ophelia. Currently reading her new book, Seeking Peace: Chronicles of the Worst Buddhist in the WorldHer writing exudes painful strength and profound reflections. Here is an excerpt:  

For most of my life, I have recalled good times and loving moments. When I remembered my girlhood, I painted myslef into scenes as a happy, loved girl, filled with honorable intentions. I worked to construct a temple of comforting beliefs - that I was nurtured, respected, and in control. With this quest, I have probed deep layers of memory that I had long struggled to ignore. As I faced the facts and examined painful recollections, I realized that what happened to me is both more unpleasant and more interesting than my previous “official” story. When I finally gave myself permission to travel with my eyes open, my reactions have been a clamorous mix of “Hallelujah” and “Ouch.”

- Mary Pipher

One can travel the world and see nothing. To achieve understanding it is necessary not to see many things but to look hard at what you do see. Morandi

I have the choice of being constantly active and happy or introspectively passive and sad.
Or I can go mad by ricocheting in between.
