“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” Marcel Proust
What might you “see” today in yourself, others, creation, our world, which allows you to be surprised by the discoveries there? How exciting it is that at any age, at any moment-no matter how much we may think we know and understand what’s before us (ourselves, another being, our relationship to an ideological position, the sound of music, the taste of frozen yogurt on a warm day), when we find moments of presence and practice a deep curiosity in the quotidian “landscapes” of existence, they emerge anew.
While we may not be able to take this voyage in each moment, the invitation is there and asks that we notice and say yes to her at times. And, when the moments, people, things seem stale, it, too, is okay, it just wants us to persist: The voyage is ongoing and she may reveal or conceal what the eyes see with her own wisdom, in her own time.
