Rediscovering Your World

If you could step into another world, and meet its inhabitants, eat its food, hear its music, breathe its air, you would return to your own world with a different respect. A wider horizon, if you will.

Or, imagine your own world as a foreign place. Treat everything you experience as fresh. Monotony makes even the most incredible things seem dull. But you can revive the human experience.

Try to humble yourself for a moment, and realize that you are only a tiny speck in the whole of your world. When you begin to understand that, and then you look up into the sky and realize that your world is only a tiny speck in the whole of the universe, you become really humble. The amount of detail in every aspect of our universe is nearly incomprehensible.

Recently I began reading a book on this subject called The Re-enchantment of Everyday Life by Thomas Moore.  So far I’m enjoying it thoroughly.
