“That’s deep,” they scoffed.
“We’re all deep.” I replied. “Our minds spiral inward, maybe forever,
don’t you get it? The depth is always there
it’s about how much of it you choose to explore.
How many doors are you willing to open?
How eager are you to face what you might find there?
You hear constantly how important it is to look up and look ahead,
but how many times have you looked down?
So many of us are just skimming along the surface,
eyes flitting to the next exciting thing happening around us,
thoughts wrapped up in what everyone else is thinking or doing,
and we’re content with this. We laugh at the suggestion of anything else
as if it’s taboo or something, to dive in, to be deep.”
