How does the world stay so fresh?

Every time I think I know something, the universe shows me that I actually know so little.

It feels like my entire adult life was one big discovery process of songs that I thought were originals and were covers all along. It’s disorienting and also super fun learning that All Along the Watchtower wasn’t an original Dave Matthews song, discovering the version from Jimi Hendrix and then later finding out it was from Bob Dylan.

I’ve listened to “To Pimp A Butterfly” by Kendrick Lamar many, many times. This morning, I “heard” one of the lyrics for the first time. It led me down a rabbit hole of discovery that blew my mind with how many things I previously missed and overlooked.

The world feels so fresh and young when we let it be. If we can, even just for a moment, forget everything we “know” and let curiosity do its thing, we can discover the magic everywhere in everything.
