Momentary visit

Consider free-diving in the Great Barrier Reef. The underwater experience is beautiful, but temporary.

You hold your breath. You immerse yourself. The pressure increases as you descend.

One makes these sacrifices to witness what’s under the surface.

So it is with many things in life. We visit physical, intellectual, and emotional places. We briefly inhabit these modes of exploration. But they’re not permanent.

They come at a small cost — a temporal constraint in service of a more lasting sense of wonder and awe.

What limitations might you momentarily hold in order to embrace discovery?
