Buscando y ordenando fotos en mi iphone, encuentro esta frase y al lado la foto de Elizabeth Gilbert con su nueva pareja, su mejor amiga de años.

Simple recordatorio de que no estamos acá para permanecer, ni para aferrarnos a un status quo. Dejar fluir el cambio genera mucha paz interior, porque te libera de una lucha que solo podés perder al pretender estabilidad y constancia.

“I look at the Augusteum, and I think that perhaps my life has not actually been so chaotic, after all. It is merely this world that is chaotic, bringing changes to us all that nobody could have anticipated. The Augusteum warns me to not to get attached to any obsolete ideas about who I am, what I represent, whom I belong to, or what function I may once have intended to serve. Yesterday I might have been a glorious monument to somebody, true enough — but tomorrow I could be a fireworks depository. Even in the Eternal City, says the silent Augusteum, one must always be prepared for riotous and endless waves of transformation.” Liz Gilbert.
