Sharing my favorite quote from Bertrand Russell: "[Philosophy] keeps alive our sense of wonder by showing familiar things in an unfamiliar aspect."
I've always wanted to cultivate this sense of wonder and curiosity in my everyday life—to delve deeper into the mundane and find meaningful lessons we can learn from them. I'm glad to have stumbled upon your work, which helps me do exactly that. Looking forward to your next posts too! 😊
I love that quote, I haven't heard it before but delving deeper into the mundane, I wrote a poem about making tea and my dirty counter today. Not what I expected to come from something I see or do everyday.
As long as we're willing to learn life will find a way to keep teaching us.
Life off the path, Woo. And why not? Did you have a stuffed tiger toy when you were six, I wonder?
I like the ancients and their take on life, and I started pondering why people did the things they did a long time ago. Took many years to work it out, too. I'm not the fastest - except perhaps at coming up with new ideas. I have a head full. But now I'm adding another: What about putting a sign on that forest path at the place you leave it. "This is not the way to Boring!" [it's a real place, too]

Thanks Alea, that means a lot

No stuffed tiger I'm afraid, is that a Calvin and Hobbes reference? We don't really see it in the UK.
It was. I didn’t see it while growing up in NZ, either, but re runs surface every now and then in online places.
