Discovery - Part 3

I discussed the concept of discovery in my first and second blog postings on the subject. I continue the concept in this posting further discussing discovery and the seafaring world.

As with the Lewis and Clark Expedition, we often associate discovery with discovering new territory, or, new worlds. A ship. An exploration. A discovery.

The concept of discovery brings about the dissolution of old paradigms and the crowning of new ones. A two dimensional world becomes three dimensional with curved horizons. Discovery brings about promises of renewal in the new world.

Some explorers claim discovery, while others shipwreck on the shores of hope and dreams.

Perhaps some think that discovery is only the end point, however discovery is a process, encompassing the start, the finish, and the path in between. Indeed, the process of discovery also reflects the efforts of all that quest as one effort builds on the next. It is a continuing process of shared progress.

Next blog posting I’ll venture into discovery and cognitive processes.
