Summary
This episode turns Seneca’s call to “hold every hour in our grasp” into something more concrete. Through Montaigne’s habits of writing and walking, and Matt Haig’s reflections on acceptance, we look at how attention can slow the feeling of life rushing past. The point isn't to seize time by force, but to notice what's here, accept what can't be changed, and live the hour instead of losing it. 👇 👇 👇 📻 FOR MORE STOIC AUDIO CONTENT Check out one of my latest daily Micro Morning Meditations here on Substack: ☀️ Micro Morning Meditation: The Object is Bound to Perish https://whatisstoicism.substack.com/p/micro-morning-meditation-the-object Hosted on Acast.
