I started reading this book called "The Life of the Mind" for class.
I thought it would be dull and dreadful.
It turned out to be better than I thought.
Maybe I like learning more than I knew...

I just really liked this person described in the book...

The explorer..
"She has an animated interest in the people she encounters and asks about their hopes and dreams. When she listens, her face lights up. She displays spontaneous delight when making new discoveries. She does not wait for adventure to happen to her; she seeks it out, sometimes with a bit of fear but always with anticipation. No cage can hold her. Perhaps she travels, but she does not need to go far, for she finds treasures everywhere. Her inner life is also rich; she has an extensive array of thoughts and feelings. If Socrates of Kierkegaard had encountered such a person in one of their daily excursions, they would have exclaimed, "Aha! Here is one who is fully alive" --Clifford Williams.
Animated. Spontaneous. Delight. Anticipation.
It sounds so good.
