Good Advice

Early on in her book Eat, Pray, Love Liz Gilbert writes of the point in her life where she found herself, many nights, on the bathroom floor weeping, not knowing what step to take next or where to turn for wisdom. Finally in her desperation she began to tentatively pray, simply asking, "Oh, God, what shall I do?"

Unexpectedly, a quiet voice spoke into her anguish and exhaustion, saying, "Liz, go to bed."

Such a simple, direct, commonsensical thing. Any wise and nurturing mother might give such advice. A piece of profound wisdom. Advice that I, too, can take to heart.
