Yes, it may shorten the lives of cats but curiosity appears to play a pivotal role in arresting unhealthy human habits. Interesting!

My best teachers were not the ones who knew all the answers, but those who were deeply excited by the questions they could not answer.

~ Brian Greene

 

(My perspective: I frequently observe this excitement in children as opposed to adults. A visceral response. You can see in their eyes the wheels turning, the neurons dancing, their bodies fidgeting and then BAM! The light bulb comes on. The electricity is contagious and you want to belt out like some Tarzan with them as they celebrate in their discovery and generate new lines of inquiry to pursue. And I think this supports what many believe…that our greatest teachers in life are children.)

Now don’t let them all break you
let the feeling come take you
It won’t do you no good
It won’t do you no good.

Climbing up to the sky this weekend…catch you on Monday!

The potential of this platform gives me chicken skin! So exciting to explore the connections between art!

Personality. We’ve all got one! And I’ve been thinking of mine lately. This video provides one of the better descriptions of an INTJ. The saltine cracker bit made me laugh out loud! But it’s so true.

Wonder is the beginning of wisdom. ~ Socrates

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

~ J. R. R. Tolkien from The Fellowship of the Ring

I’m actually torn on the argument. Everything in moderation. Discipline is key!

Learning is fundamentally an act of vulnerability. It is an acknowledgement that what one knows is not sufficient, and that new information and new thinking about that information is needed.
