The arts are also helpful in providing different ways of seeing, exploring and expressing yourself and the world around you.

Reading a good book, seeing a ballet, talking to a good friend, writing a poem or just going for a walk in a nearby park can open up doors to hidden areas of your soul. You don’t need to make a grand gesture like going on a pilgrimage or retreating to the woods. You just need a sense of adventure and a good dose of humility and honesty. The time is now, don’t wait until it is too late.
