There are new worlds right outside your door. You don’t need to journey into the deep rain forests of the Amazon to explore, or venture off into space to seek out new life, and new civilizations. Sometimes you just need to go outside. Find a new park, a new store. Go to a cultural festival, an art show, a farmer’s market. It’s all worth exploring, and for a lot of us, we can learn a lot from the effort. Get outside of your comfort zone.

Even better, grab a book while you’re out there, one from an author with a background different than your own, and bring another new world home to explore later.
