I was so moved last night by the NASA’s successful landing of Curiosity on Mars. Many of us were pulled out of our navel-gazing and looked outward in unison and celebration. But to look inward and to look outward is the human dance. An important one.
What do my self-explorations in journals mean? Is it all part of the big picture?
From Brainpickings:
Curiosity, exploration and self-esteem…
What do these terms have in common? In your journal, write down their definitions. Research, explore. Find quotes. Contemplate.
From Gloria Steinem’s A Book of Self-Esteem, Revolution from Within:
We literally plug into an inner energy that it ours alone, yet connects us to everything else. To put it another way: I began to understand that self-esteem isn’t everything; it’s just that there’s nothing without it.
The real which is at the heart of the universe is reflected in the infinite depths of the self. – Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan
Curiosity is insubordination in its purest form. Vladimir Nabokov
… exploring the reaches and mysteries of inner space…” – Assemblyman Vasconcellos
