Buon Giorno e Buon Viaggio

Buon Giorno e Buon Viaggio fellow readers!

This blog was created for the purpose of adding information I'm learning for my trip to Italy. I'm extremely excited that I'm going and even more, to share my experience with you all. My blog is entitled il dolce far niente e tutto. It means the art of doing nothing and everything. Hope you're up for it :)

As my greeting says: Buon Giorno (Good Day) e Buon Viaggio (Good Journey)!

Physics of the Quest...?

For those of you who have been wondering what exactly the "physics of the quest" is that I mentioned in the About Me section, I have a quote for you that hopefully will be enough of an explanation for you :)!!

"I've come to believe that there exists in the universe something I call 'The Physics of The Quest' -- a force of nature governed by laws as real as the laws of gravity or momentum.  And the rule of Quest Physics maybe goes like this: 'If you are brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting (which can be anything from your house to your bitter old resentments) and set out on a truth-seeking journey (either externally or internally), and if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue, and if you accept everyone you meet along the way as a teacher, and if you are prepared - most of all - to face (and forgive) some very difficult realities about yourself... then truth will not be withheld from you.'  Or so I've come to believe."~Elizabeth Gilbert.


This quote is from her book Eat, Pray, Love. For me, this trip is my second encouter with this concept and it holds a strong meaning. Take it as you will...

Peace and Light,
Julia-Louise Doe
