Gilbert is a brilliant writer! She has the ability to be witty, charming, self-revealing, insightful, and descriptive. She has the knack to really put into words those things that seem beyond expression-emotions and spiritual experiences. While I'm not a believer in Yogic meditation, gurus, and the such, I did find that my own belief system was enriched by realizing that we (all people) do approach pleasure, happiness, devotion, and peace like a project or a job. If we plan it all out and work really hard at it, it will come to us. When in fact, the harder we try the further it gets away from us. Much like Gilbert, I struggle in the silence of letting God speak instead filling the air with my endless prattle. "Be still and know that I am God," is probably the most simple and most difficult truth to embrace.
