“This is the city and I am one of the citizens, whatever interests the rest interests me.” This is a line from Walt Whitman's Song of Myself. It caught my attention for the worldview it includes.

Taking a page from the puppy: when you're little & lost sometimes someone's just gotta show you the way

I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious (Albert Einstein)
Curiousity didn't kill the cat. Far from it. Curiousity flames the inquisitive fires of exploration. Curiousity made our ancestors climb out of trees to claim the savannahs of Africa while walking upright for the first time. Curiousity beats back ignorance, stereotyping & conflict while … [Read more...] about I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious (Albert Einstein)
