Blick auf Mainz

I read the first chapter of a book this morning--The Enjoyment of Poetry by Max Eastman-- where he said there are two kinds of people in the world:

The practical and the poetic.

He said, load a ferry with people, and half will go to the top deck and look out and take in all the sights and sounds along the journey, enjoying every minute of it. They are the poetic.

The other half will go down below, anticipating their arrival at their destination. they are the practical.

While practicality is useful and I would say even necessary, through WEH, we are trying to feed more of our poetic natures. We don't want to be so focused on arrival, that we miss the joys of the journey.

Finding the joy of the journey is one thing I hope you are learning here.
