When Elizabeth Gilbert shared with her fans on Facebook last week that she is in love with her best friend, I thought her words were deeply heartfelt and mostly courageous. After all, we know Liz as the popular author of Eat, Pray & Love. Adored by fans the world over, Liz, without acting self-consciously or apologetically, told her deeply personal love story and invited all of us to share in her joy.

I read the Facebook posting one time, but I haven’t read it since. You see, her words are the most transparent and authentic expression of true love I have ever read. Her post is too painful to read because it is a heart-opener, a reach deep down into one’s soul heart-crushing gusher. A happy ending to a ‘come to Jesus moment’.

What I liked in particular was that Liz didn’t label herself or her new love. She didn’t ‘come out’. She simply shared what love means to her. “The truth has legs; it always stands. When everything else in the room has blown up or dissolved away, the only thing left standing will always be the truth. Since that’s where you’re gonna end up anyway, you might as well just start there,” she said.

She did all of her sharing without ‘labeling herself.’ Truly refreshing. When we label ourselves and others, we limit our ability to see one another as soul beings… or beings having a soul experience.

I have never found one label laid on me by another person that was remotely accurate. There isn’t a label that exists for any of us that can fully express what it’s like to walk in someone else’s shoes.

Thank you, Elizabeth Gilbert for a refreshing and ‘it’s about time’ take on what it feels like and what it means to authentically love another human being. You did it with grace and demonstrated that loving someone of the same sex doesn’t have to a) end up being a debate on right or wrong; b) doesn’t have to conjure up fears; c) doesn’t have to delight some and disappoint others; and d) certainly doesn’t have to seem foreign or crazy.

Labels and projections can ruin the experience of simply loving someone. It’s pure joy to love someone and not be self-conscious about it at the same time. And Elizabeth Gilbert, in sharing her story, made it all seem effortlessly natural and perfectly human to be a woman in love.
