Curiosity and Intimacy - Bobbi Salkeld

Right now, more than any time we can remember, we are polarized, on edge, and ready to attack each other. That doesn't mean there aren't good reasons to be cautious. We all know people who engage in bad faith, intent not on dialogue but on manipulation or deceit. However, if we allow that caution to transform us into essentially uncurious persons, we will miss out on much of what God has available for us. 

Being human is a limited experience of the world. And therefore, it is only when we open our perspective to the knowledge of the person beside us, and beside them, that we are able to properly envision the world. 

Curiosity is a spiritual discipline. One that keeps us humble and learning. And who knows, maybe the person beside you right now might be your next best friend.
