"because that's my job..."

i just heard elizabeth gilbert's speech at ted, and really - you should too. it may be obvious that i'm enamoured by her talent and persona, but as i listened to her talk, it made me love the writer in her so much more, for she comes across as exactly that realized soul that you read about in her book (eat pray love).

(and if you do take the time to listen, wait until the 14th and 15th minutes to see how she ties in creative genius with nishkama karma.)

pleasure's mine, bb :).

wasn't it amazing when she said "because that's my job"? so simple, so true. i also love her line somewhere that says that she promised god she'd write, she didn't promise that she'd write well :).
