Eat, Pray, Love up to page 203

Liz and her friends at the Ashram talk about marriage and her friends decide to find a way to help Liz have closure with her ex husband since their divorce ended so badly. They get her to go to a roof top, the highest point in the Ashram and tell her in a note there is nothing between her and God, so all she has to do is let go. She meditates and gets to a place where her and her ex are together and talking. She feels she has achieved closure and can now move on with her life. Her friend Richard from Texas is leaving he Ashram, and tells Liz she must move on, and that the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else...lol. Liz is chosen to host a series of retreats at the Ashram, which she is kinda excited about because she feels like she needs to be in silence more, which is what these retreats are all about. Liz also makes the realization that we need God because he provides us with grace. And God needs us because he loves to feel things through our hands. I feel like this is a really good point, and explains why God would do so much for us and sacrifice so much. Liz ends up enjoying her first retreat, finding that she learned more than she taught the visitors. This experience is helping her become even better at meditating and finding a connection with God which ultimately leads to her happiness.
