“The innocence of youth is necessary again and again through the thresholds of a life no matter our chronological age. Therefore, at any time of your life, follow your own questions; don’t mistake other people’s questions for your own. Fall in love with your own questions… see innocence not as something to be replaced by experience but as a way… of paying attention, without which you cannot begin a new cycle of investigation. Fall in love with the possibilities ahead. At least to begin with, be infatuated with an imagined perfection. Let your hoped-for intuitions be true until they are proved wrong. — David Whyte, The Three Marriages
