Sparks of inspiration, they fly in the air

Tiny but mighty, they dance everywhere

To live in the present moment,

And let our hearts guide.

Let go of fear and doubt,

Embrace the un…

"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." – Aristotle

How do you know if you are truly open-minded? It is easy to assume that we are open-minded, but often we have hard edges around what we are willing to accept as true.
