I loved reading this piece which I found as I googled to try and understand the quote better. But this is my favourite paragraph of all:

"Ted Lasso is just the kind of guy who would blithely misquote someone or simply trust that a quote written on a wall somewhere was true. But he’s also the kind of guy who would take a positive, benign sentiment like be curious, not judgmental and run with it, allowing it to transform his life and his relationship to himself and to the world around him. And that guy isn’t so bad. He might even be a good guy."

Sometimes it just takes that little bit of openness to allow certain words, phrases or thoughts to sink right in, all the way in, for it to radiate back out in the way it did in the character of Ted Lasso. It's just beautiful.

Thank you so much for reading! I’m very glad that passage resonated with you. I’ve loved this non-Whitman quote even more now since the episode. The Lasso effect!
