The closer we look at what people believe and do, the more clear it is that our view of the world doesn’t precisely match theirs. It never has but now it’s magnified. No one believes what I believe, not exactly.*
Seth Godin

The question then is how to get lost. Never to get lost is not to live, not know how to get lost brings you to destruction, and somewhere in the terra incognito in between lies a life of discovery.**
Rebecca Solnit

We can be too serious when we first meet
each other;
Perhaps we first ought to be playful,
Maybe using the “Yes, and …” game so we can
become lost in each other.

Inherent to this is
vulnerability –
Taking time, letting go of agenda, shelving
opinions, willing to explore the
unfamiliar.

Yes, we’ll get things wrong,
But hopefully, when we do, there’ll be
forgiveness.
