Meet my friend Roo. He walks around his world, curious about movement and sounds. He peered into my camera when I put it down in selfie mode: he saw himself... and decided he needed a closer look. That's the true gift of new experiences? If we peer into them more closely...they allow us to see ourselves in ways we had not previously. It's a simple clarity but worth noting for the record: a core experience of meaningful, transformative experiences are that they allow us to encounter and discover ourselves in new ways.
