equally curious


We're all diversely something: as a woman I am diversely a man, as a European I am diversely an African, as an engineer I am diversely a philosopher.

And those considered most able amongst us are the most disable: Astronauts are unable to walk in space, and unable to survive outside a vehicle without a space suit.

As a speleologist ,you understand your disabilities: in a cave men are unable to see without artificial light, unable to progress safely without artificial rigging, a harness and a helmet, unable to walk comfortably without proper shoes, unable to eat without food carried from outside and mostly unable to drink without a water canteen.

The concept of being able to do something is very unnaturally an acquired pretentious effect of social habits. What we are all equally able to be is curious. And that's what makes us explorers.
