    "I do have love in my life, many forms of loving. I can't name the day when I suddenly realized that the lack of love in my life was not a reality but a lack of imagination and a carelessly narrow use of an essential word." -Krista Tippett

    I recall this quote anytime I get lost in my head.

    When I do, I end up surrounded by foolish thoughts:

    • This person isn’t interesting
    • I’m superior
    • Woe is me

    And Krista reminds us it’s all a choice.

    We have before us - whether through technology or the eyes of another soul - infinity.

    The key? Curiosity

    To be more interested than our obsession with seeming interesting.

    An example of how we could endlessly play with the tools that 150 years ago, we’d be considered Gods for having:
