The real voyage of discovery

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. – Marcel Proust

I’m realizing this more and more as I go for walks by myself… just trying to notice details in the natural surroundings that I’ve been blind to in the past. But this quote also applies to a different definition of ‘seeing’ — that being ‘understanding.’ I’m getting better at that, too, and it’s making all the difference.
