Source: First You Write a Sentence – The Elements of Reading, Writing…and LifeThe most reliable antidepressant is rekindled curiosity, and only the curious try to draw bits of the world together into words.
The word curious derives from the latin cura, which also gives us both cure and care.
Curiosity is a cure for self-absorption, the cure being to care about the world and lay down roots in it again.
Reading and writing sentences is a means of laying down these roots, of achieving absorbedness.
And to be truly absorbed in anything is to be blessed.
