On Friday evening I had the opportunity to see Elizabeth Gilbert read from her new book, Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage. Miki & I went with some friends. We were among the legions who devoured Eat Pray Love!
Elizabeth Gilbert's new book picks up where Eat Pray Love left off regarding her romance with Felipe. But it is also a very beautiful exploration of marriage- historically, culturally, & personally, in all it's many, many layers. I'm not done reading it yet, but I'm really enjoying it. Now with 16 years of marriage behind me, it feels good to be reminded of those feelings I had before I got married...recalling my own family's marital histories, reflecting on love through the generations, and pondering what the future will hold for me and Dave. There's no way, back then, that I could have known the treasures that awaited us - Dylan & Katie - but we knew we were committed to love's journey together. I still do!
