we are born into this world filled
                          with the infinite capacity to adapt.
                                   as we grow, pathways in our
                             brains turn into trails, and then
                           into ruts. habits form and begin to
                           ossify our spirits into caricatures
                                  of ourselves. we become that
                                which we once loathed, adults.
                                  solid, chitinous brains that
                               operate by reflex, not impulse.
                               some say that drugs can reverse
                                   this process, some say that
                               meditation can help you get off
                                  the beaten path of your life.
                               you need neither, just a simple
                                    attitude: always challenge
                            yourself with new things, jump the
                             ruts of your mind, and never take
                                                 the easy path
