Discovery or Recovery?

~ " The beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something we do not understand " ~

Sometimes it helps to think of my life as one big discovery.  It gives me something to work towards and
Keeps me motivated.  I like to think of it as a discovery of myself, and the fact that everyday offers me
A new discovery fills me with a great excitement.

     In essence, recovering to me means that we are working towards something that we once had, and once
Found (ie. once we recover), our work is done - there is a finality to the word.  Discovery, on the other
Hand, implies something that is dynamic - a continuum if you will.

Me?  I hope I never recover.  But, as I go
From day to day and I continue to discover new and beautiful things about myself, I continue to strive for
Peace and serenity.  And that, my friends, is a wonderous thing!
