Love this. Love Mrs. Giovanni's poem. Have been on a horrible "commute" of a journey of late. Safe, known, relaxed? For sure. But awfully boring and totally uninspiring. I'm driving an older car these days and have become more scared of breaking down on the side of an unfamiliar road. Not to mention, I'm not even really sure where I want to visit for my next destination. I just know that my car's shocks are totally worn, and the ride has become increasingly uncomfortable. But it's not scary and uncomfortable, so I mindlessly continue to travel along the same bumpy, well-traveled, roads. Probably will continue until one day I go to start my car and the only sound I'll hear is a sputter. But I also really love that new car smell...so, maybe?
BTW, don't know if you know, but you played many years of sunday football with Nikki's son!
Maybe you've got to switch modes of transport, then? I hear ya. It ain't easy. Comfortability is real but sounds like you have an awareness that a switch is needed. And wait, who was her son???
Interesting thoughts, as always! All of life is a journey, and while I wonder about our destination, I do believe we have a choice how we handle our travels.
Keeping an open mind certainly makes our road a bit less winding and less rough! Shabbat Shalom! ✡️ Hugs and Love. ❤️Zeta

Tommy Giovanni. Super fast, super talented, super chill wideout.
Also, I love that the Rambam was talking about confirmation bias a millennia ago!
He is who he is for a reason and heuristics are heuristics for a reason!

Or makes it rough in the short term but smooth in the long term if we can remember and have patience!
Definitely depends on the situation for me! Sometimes reversed. I will keep an open mind on this one! 😜
