If you lay violent hands on me, you’ll have my body, but my mind will remain with Stilpo.”
Zeno, quoted in Diogenes Laertius, Lives of the Eminent Philosophers, 7.1.24

“I don’t acknowledge the existence of the prison. It doesn’t exist for me.”
Rubin “Hurricane” Carter, professional boxer wrongfully accused of homicide who spent 20 years in prison. 

No matter what is happening to your body, your mind and spirit can remain philosophical and spiritual. Your mind is untouchable… and thus, so are you. 

(See y’all tomorrow… for Virtue & Kindness)

    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.
