I found this quote online and borrowed it:

(Source) For one friend who had difficulty remembering details from his travels, I suggested he take on the task of writing a poem every day during his journey abroad. The daily task proved impossible for him, so he decided to focus his attention on a one-week stretch through Paris, Prague and Florence. To this day, his memories of that time are the fondest of all his travels because, as he has told me, “when everything is a possible poem, the world is suddenly far more interesting.” – from The Art of Pilgrimage, by Phil Cousineau

I like how the author here uses poetry to make a point. The phrase “when everything is a possible poem, the world is suddenly far more interesting” is so true. I’ve lived my life this way for some time. Everything is a potential poem. Every moment, every act, every person, every idea. When you look at life – and poetry – this way you will never run out of ideas. Your life will be worth living and your poetry will be worth reading.
