"I did feel obligated, as a Jewish girl who was not stupid, to situate my life on the larger map of human striving in a world that was wide, not narrow. I wanted to know where I was and not just in the realm of personal options. I sought to get my bearings and location in human history itself. I just wanted to know how to find me in the bigger story.”Explore more about Confessions of a Young Philosopher.Get Confessions of a Young Philosopher.Abigail L.

A new MP3 sermon from Maidenbower Baptist Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: God's consolations Speaker: Jeremy Walker Broadcaster: Maidenbower Baptist Church Event: Sunday - PM Date: 2/2/2025 Bible: Psalm 119:76 Length: 42 min.
David puts words in our mouth and gives direction to our heart in responding to afflictions and sorrows, especially those we can trace directly to the hand of God. We look first at the distresses of men, and consider the real cry that arises from their hearts, the real need for comfort which animates their spirit, and the real hope they entertain as those who come to God with expectant humility. Then we turn to the consolations of God, the Lord to whom the man calls in distress: his open ear, his kind heart revealed in Christ, and his true word.

SPREZZATURA, Christopher Buckley's 30th book, is due from Lynx House Press, January 2025. The sense of place in these poems-- whether its the foggy cliffs above the sea or the street of Fresno-- is vivid and immediate. Buckley examines friendship and the inevitability of change as he braids grief, love, and hope in these poems, many of which are dedicated to the great Fresno poets including Phillip Levine, Larry Levis and Peter Everewine. Chris opens the show with two Everwine poems and discusses the book of interviews and essays he edited, "Naming the Lost: The Fresno Poets." Christopher Buckley's work was selected for Best American Poetry 2021; he is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship in Poetry, two NEA grants, a Fulbright Award in Creative Writing, and four Pushcart Prizes. Recent books are—One Sky to the Next, winner of the Longleaf Press book Prize for 2022—Agnostic (Lynx House Press), The Pre-Eternity of the World (Stephen F. Austin State University Press), and The Consolations of Science & Philosophy (Lynx House Press). Star Journal: Selected Poems was published by University of Pittsburgh Press in 2016. He has edited over a dozen critical collections and anthologies, most recently NAMING THE LOST: THE FRESNO POETS—Interviews & Essays; Bear Flag Republic: Prose Poems & Poetics from California (with Gary Young) Alcatraz Editions, 2008; with Alexander Long, A CONDITION OF THE SPIRIT: THE LIFE AND WORK OF LARRY LEVIS. Again co-edited with Gary Young, Lynx House Press published, One for the Money: the Sentence as a Poetic Form. With Jon Veinberg, he edited MESSENGER TO THE STARS: A LUIS OMAR SALINAS NEW SELECTED POEMS & READER, published by Tebot Bach in 2014.

The soul has made great strides and progress in building its interior prayer life. Praying is now a lifestyle, and a relationship with Jesus is flourishing. Then, all of a sudden, the soul feels distant from Jesus, and the momentum of praying stalls. The buckets from the well are coming dry. The soul is frustrated, but Saint Teresa encourages us not to worry because we have entered the Third Mansions of prayer.

As we said recently, no parent has ever successfully shielded their child from negative feelings or distress. No parent has done it and no grown adult has ever looked back at their childhood and been grateful that their parents tried. “I'm so glad Mom and Dad kept me in a bubble of sunshine and kittens, that really set me up now that I'm on my own.”Gaslighting someone about their feelings is not, and never has been, a service.Dr. Becky Kennedy writes In Good Inside, her wonderful book about parenting (can't recommend it enough), that “adults whose childhood were focused mainly on happiness are not only unprepared for tough moments, they experience more discomfort in those tough moments because deep down, they think they're doing something wrong if they can't ‘find the happy' and get themselves to a ‘better place.'”We've talked before about Seneca's Consolations essays where he works his friends and family through the awful grief they are experiencing. It's important that we understand this is how the Stoics—and hopefully your kids—learn to deal with strong emotions, period. You don't stuff it down. You don't mask it with smiles. You don't seek out pleasure to counterbalance it. In fact, the more you do those things, the harder time you will have in the future if even more serious or distressing things happen.✉️ Sign up for the Daily Dad email: DailyDad.com
Seneca knew from experience. In one of the most dreadful periods of his life, he lost his livelihood, his home and then his young child. He was exiled on false charges. He buried an infant.Fortune…she can be cruel.As Seneca wrote to Marcia, the daughter of a prominent Roman historian, in his beautiful and moving “Consolations” essays:“Snatch the pleasures your children bring, let your children in turn find delight in you, and drain joy to the dregs without delay; no promise has been given you for this night—nay, I have offered too long a respite!—no promise has been given even for this hour.”Two thousand years later, that hard-won reminder holds true. Nothing is promised. The future is not certain. It's a scary world—one we're hostages to, as we've said. But we can't dwell in sadness or fear.All we can do is hold our children tight. We must snatch the pleasures they bring us and bring them pleasures too. Drain joy to the dregs together. Enjoy the hour…because not one second more is guaranteed.✉️ Sign up for the Daily Dad email: DailyDad.com
In the final episode of this 5-part series on David Whyte's book Consolations. This week, we discuss disappointment, an integral part of any journey of self improvement.

I'm choosing to republish this episode that I had with David Whyte four years ago, because I had found myself revisiting his timeless book Consolations' and rediscovering wisdom that felt appropriate for these times — which has remained within an arm's reach of my bedside ever since I first discovered it. It ratcheted open my mind to a new perspective on the definitions of words like Ambition, Courage and Heartbreak, that I thought I previously understood.I'm not sure how to even begin to describe exactly what David does. On paper, he's an acclaimed poet, a writer, and a philosopher. But to my mind, after having spent a magical week with him on the Irish Atlantic coastline on one of his poetry walking tours, I feel like he's a true elder with a deep philosophical curiosity and gift for weaving together our inner and outer worlds in what he calls 'the conversational nature of reality'.It's a wide-ranging conversation, and towards the end, we cover some really interesting ground on the questions he believes we're living our way into as a society and how childhood is the act of growing older whilst adulthood is the act of growing younger back into body back into our birthright visionary experience of the world.Official Links
If you enjoy hearing about the philosophy of life, I recommend you check out my conversation with Ryan Holiday, which you can find here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PafvhTSC4yE Philosophy isn't just for universities and lecture halls, philosophy can help guide every part of your life, from relationships, work to mental health. Alain de Botton is a British author, intellectual and co-founder of the global organisation, ‘The School of Life'. He is best known for the books, ‘Essays in Love', ‘How Proust Can Change Your Life', and ‘The Consolations of Philosophy'. In this interview, Steven and Alain discuss everything from, the origins of mental health problems, what it means to live a good life, why perfection is dangerous, why we are chasing love rather than money and why love itself is a skill.
