Wow this was so comprehensive - I've read about all these themes but never seen them woven into one piece like this. I absolutely love it. There's so much to gain from the chaos of the unknown - in fact that's where all the good stuff is! For some reason we've generally forgotten that as a society

"There's so much to gain from the chaos of the unknown" - 100% my friend. We do forget it, because a fabricated perception/construct is appearingly comfortable, but in reality there only is the unknown and nothing else!

Thank you man, I appreciate it ❤️

I remember Keith Richard’s saying that he was like a sponge—he absorbed everything from others musicians and music styles that he could. Most of either turn off or lose that sponginess when we in our mid-twenties. We all need to remember that the more we read and learn the more our curiosity will grow. Albert Einstein said, I’m not especially gifted, I’m just insatiably curious,” or something like that. Ask questions always!

Sponginess... I love that Nikki. It reminds me of thinking of yourself as an 'expert' versus constantly being a student of life, and never stopping.

"Then, somewhere along the line, we were taught to stop being curious… to stop being us, to ignore the truth and taught to conform." My publication name is also work in progress. It's a journey. Maybe "Stay curious" or something like this would be a good title.

Stay curious with Roc.
