sometimes it is the new landscapes that make the new eyes possible...

very true...i'm certainly craving new landscapes, partly for that reason... :) but i guess the real challenge is to see as much as possible, even the known/common/old/familiar, with new eyes...

(by the way, that's the perfect icon for this topic! i have a wee poster by my bed that reads, "J'ai toujours aimé le désert. On s'asseoit sur une dune de sable. On ne voit rien. On n'entend rien. Et cependant quelque chose rayonne en silence...")

Oh you :) I would languish in ennui if you weren't there to remind me that there is difference.

kinda like living each day as if you're a tourist :)

exactement! i try to live that way, though i'm not always very good at it, to be honest. i love this quote because it reminds me to look at things as if i'd never seen them before, and to give the mundane a second glance. i miss so much of what's beautiful when i forget to look.
