Changing countries, universities, languages, etc. can be a little uncomfortable (some days more than others). Chile is teaching me how to be at peace and live in an environment that is not necessarily the most immediately comfortable.
I was thinking about that today as I was catching up on some reading. (What else do you do when the forecast is rain with a high of 50?) I ran across a quote from one of my old teachers, Dr. Krauss, who said, “Being uncomfortable is a good thing, because it forces you to reassess your place in the cosmos. Being too comfortable means you’ve become complacent and you stop thinking. And so being uncomfortable should be a spiritually uplifting experience."
So, here's to being uncomfortable, to being a little crazy and taking risks. Here's to reassessing our place in the universe and in our neighborhoods, to thinking and acting, to discovering what exists around us and within us.
