The unknown

Via Diary of a Self-Portrait

There’s a quote I recently came across by Kent Nerburn from Letters to my Son that I absolutely love:

If we don’t offer ourselves to the unknown, our senses dull. Our world becomes small and we lose our sense of wonder. Our eyes don’t lift to the horizon; our ears don’t hear the sounds around us. The edge is off our experience, and we pass our days in a routine that is both comfortable and limiting. We wake up one day and find that we have lost our dreams in order to protect our days.”
