I remember that my younger self enjoyed that feeling of lift when taking off in an airplane. It felt like magic being up in the air, being transported to far away places. As I’ve aged, that sense of wonder has faded. This book is a good reminder to remember.
I think it’s important to always keep exploring new things and ideas. Normally, traveling and learning about new places is one of my favorite ways to nurture my sense of wonder and curiosity. In the current situation where the ability to travel is limited, I’m finding I need to consciously seek other ways to nurture my sense of exploration. One way I’m doing that is being more intentional about my reading in 2021, planning a variety of new books and topics to explore.
