210324 What I learned in my studies this morning

Timing? Everything! 

What a difference a moment

Makes to my day. Peace. 

Today's Meditation:

If only I could share it:

The soft sound of snow

Falling late at night

From the trees

At this old temple

— Hakuin (1686-1768)

From The Daily Stoic: 

One of the things I like about Stoicism is that it is a practical philosophy. As in, it is meant to be practiced.

I've studied philosophy for over 30 years now. Everything from Kant to Existentialism to Philosophy of Mind to ancient / medieval / modern / postmodern and political philosophy.

Learning about Stoic thought and practice has made a thorough and lasting impact on how I live my life. My day-to-day thoughts and actions are different because of it.

And better.
