Trying new things puts us into a state of unknowing, to become a child again and discover the pleasure of learning. Going over the same ground allows us to understand better that which we already know, or thought we knew. It is a continually evolving project... Everything that is familiar was strange at one time.

We constantly strive to run away, experience this, experience that, seek out excitement and pleasure in various forms. Where as the the nucleus keeps us stable, lets us run around a little, but not too far so as to go berserk :-) You guys have a solid relationship that gives enough stability to go explore unknown more often than an average joe. Besides, some people are content seeking pleasure from tried and tested routes, like having children etc. To each, his own!

Check where we are at. Assimilate our learnings. The strange offers us the future. Opportunities ahead. Constantly shunning the familiar, we'd be ungrounded. Avoiding the strange always, we'd be stunted. The familiar is where we take stock. Check where we are at. Assimilate our learnings. The strange offers us the future. Opportunities ahead.
