I love the feeling that I get when I am listening to the music on my ipod, and I come across a song that I don't recognize. Something that I took the care to put on a playlist, but then completely forgot about. When I run a list on shuffle, I spend the first few seconds of each song trying to put my finger on what the title and artist are, deciding whether I want to listen to the rest of the song or if I'm looking for a different vibe for the moment.
Then I'll hear something, that sounds just like new, I am reminded that my music collection is incomplete. That there are new things to discover.
Exploration will never outpace creation. As long as there is life, we will grow, we will conceive other life, and we will morph the nonliving into new shapes. The dynamo of invention is so important to humans' dual nature as animals and people that I don't believe any individual can say they've lived life to the fullest without investing in creativity.
I so vividly crave exploration. The vastness of the unknown is a glorious thing. I wish I wasn't so stuck in this tiny moment of my life, so shortsightedly mired in an inconsequential lifestyle, and that I was brave enough to go explore the abounding frontiers of my world.
