from the book "eat, love, pray" by elizabeth gilbert-
"the bhagavad gita- that ancient indian yogic text- says that it is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else's life with perfection."
these words were so powerful to me when i read them the other night, tucked under the quilts in my bed. sometimes when i feel the world crowding in on me, i will remind myself of these words, over and over, a grounding chant in my mind. "live your own destiny imperfectly"! the best foundation, true words to live by.

Excellent!! love it. I really love your Self Portrait Tuesday. This is my first time here and really enjoyed looking at your photos and reading your posts.
That's a really powerful idea...but I imagine it cycles--imitation, originality, forward, back, like parking a car until you can slide into yourself.
But even then it's never easy.
