A Year of Contemplation

Less is More (Day 103)

“Don’t be a person of too many words…” - Marcus Aurelius

“He would never use one word when none would do.” - Philip Levine

“More matter with less art.” - Gertrude, Hamlet, W. Shakespeare

Ask yourself: how many of the plentiful words spoken are for the edification of my ego? How many of my actions are only done to draw attention to me, thus feeding my ego? How much of my above-and-beyond serves others, and how much is for my own moral masturbation?

The results are shocking… if we can actually reach them.

Anything given beyond that which is necessary is for the giver, not the receiver.

(See y’all tomorrow)

    About the Blog

    Awakening the desire to explore Stoicism, and how it relates to his existing beliefs, Rev. William committed to working through the text, The Daily Stoic, a year-long journey to awaken the Stoic mind. 
    How things are structured can be found in the first post. 

    About the Author

    Born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, Rev. William attended Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado where in 2007 he graduated with a degree in Religious Studies, minoring in Psychology. Currently residing in Longmont, CO, he is one of the Priests and founder of Mountain Ancestors Grove.  He spends his time playing mandolin (and some guitar), writing, engaging in LGBTQIA+ advocacy and education, community service, and sharing a larger vision of how a polytheist perspective can lead to greater human understanding, acceptance, and gods be good, peace.
