Hasta La Gadget!

The poet, spiritual thinker and author of Seven Thousand Ways to Listen, Mark Nepo explores the ways we can put the pieces back together.

Though no one likes it, each of us will find ourselves broken at some point in our journey. When we find ourselves there, what do we do? I’ve been broken many times — through illness, through the loss of a job, through the derailment of a dream and most recently, through the death of my father. For all of this, I can offer a mysterious truth that life has given me: that we are stronger, gentler, more resilient and more beautiful than we imagine, and that the resource we call life is never far away.

I know this because every time my heart has been shattered, I have felt certain that it could never be put back together. And every time, without exception, not only has my heart mended but it has become larger, stronger and more loving for the breaking. The mysterious and unfailing journey of how this happens is the ordinary art of staying awake. It involves the deep and continuous act of being present in all ways, in all directions. Being present in this way is the practice of holding nothing back.

On Sunday (Nov. 24), a blonde Alba posted a selfie to Instagram from the set of her upcoming flick, “Barely Lethal,” starring Hailee Steinfeld as a 16-year-old assassin who longs for a normal life and decides to enroll in a suburban high school. “#victoriaknox #selfie @barelylethalmovie taking a break btwn takes -hiding out in a rm -all this #action and #stunts r exhausting,” she wrote.
