On Hoping that Wolves are Stupid



Spiritual Advice in the manner of Elizabeth Gilbert’s “Eat, Pray, Love
 
Ms. Dominique tweets:  On Hoping that Wolves are Stupid

“When you're wandering in those woods, it may take a while for you to realize that you’ve got your dumb ass lost again. For a while, you can pretend that you've just strayed off the path. Then night falls, and you still have no idea where you are, and it’s so dark you can’t find your butt with both hands. And then you hear the wolves. Only then you do you start to worry. And all you can do is hope the wolves are as lost as you are."

“Good luck wid dat.”

Ms. Dominique tweets:  On Smoking & Stuff

“As smoking is to your lungs, so is resentment to your soul; because even a single puff is bad for you. And as for second-hand smoke, just don’t get me started. I hate that shit.”

Life in the Rough

Ms. Dominique tweets:  Life in the Rough

“But is it such a bad thing to live just like this for a while? Just for a few months of one's life? Is it so awful to nap in a public park, on a wooden bench in a warm patch of sunlight, … maybe in the middle of the day, right next to your favorite fountain? And then to do it again the next day? And the next? And sleep under a clean newspaper. Yeah, that would be great."

On Your Ashram



Spiritual Advice in the manner of Elizabeth Gilbert’s “Eat, Pray, Love
 
Ms. Dominique tweets:  On Your Ashram

“At the ashram I saw a lot of people who had been living in spiritual communes for 20 or even 30 years. And while with some of them, I felt like they were meant to be contemplatives…. I mean, they probably should be living here alone. 

"But, with other people, I got the strong sensation that they were kind of hiding out from the rest of the world. Including the bill collectors and children, the ex-wives and ex-husbands. And I wanted to do that, too. “
