*.*.* have we known each other forever?

us humans are good at recognising patterns

we make decisions about future patterns

on the bias of our previous experiences

and expected behaviour

"think of those, who not by fault of inconsistency 

but by lack of effort, 

are too unstable to live as they wish, 

but only live as they have begun" 

Seneca ~ On Tranquility of Mind

just because you have always taken one path

it doesn't have to be forever

it takes courage to do things differently 

and make a change

it can be people who effect the change

walking right in to your life

bringing back the you

you'd forgotten to be

until you travelled to a new home

"we travel because we need to

because distance and difference 

are the secret tonic of creativity

when we get home

home is still the same

but something in our mind has changed

and that changes everything"

Jonah Lehrer ~ Why We Travel
