Marcel Proust said the true voyage is acquiring new eyes, not discovering new lands. On a cold Danish Monday morning, the speaker asks whether you'll see the day differently or stay stuck in old habits of looking.
Marcel Proust said, the real voyage is not seeking new lands, but in having new eyes. And by that, of course, he meant there's always something new to discover even where you are by taking a different look at it or thinking about it in a different way. On this dark and cold Danish Monday morning in winter, what kind of eyes are you going into the day with? Are they new eyes to try and see things in a different perspective, or are they the same eyes that see things the way they have been and not necessarily discovering something new?
