Mindful curiosity awakens our sense of care, our clarity of mind, and our capacity for compassion.
To Michel Foucault, curiosity is "the care one takes of what exists and what might exist; a sharpened sense of reality, but one that is never immobilized before it; a readiness to find what surrounds us strange and odd; a certain determination to throw off familiar ways of thought and to look at the same things in a different way; a passion for seizing what is happening now and what is disappearing; a lack of respect for traditional hierarchies of what’s important and fundamental."
