“…Isn’t it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive–it’s such an interesting world. It wouldn’t be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There’d be no scope for imagination then, would there?”
― L.M. Montgomery
What inspires you to flights of fancy?
We all know the world is full of grievous injustice and outright tragedy. Also stunning beauty and grace. But a lot of the world is just plain good—not astounding, or amazing, but enjoyable or likable or pleasant or fun. The good bits deserve attention to.
What good thing will you enjoy today?
When you’re inside a tunnel, the light at the end can appear as a blinding glare, concealing what you are approaching rather than revealing it. But you don’t need to know what is on the other side to know that you have to keep moving forward. You can’t stay in the tunnel.
What in your life feels like you are headed into the unknown?
Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content.
—Helen Keller

What do you love enough to immerse yourself in it?
