Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Today's episode is a sneak peak of what's in store for next season, when we switch from the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius to the Letters of Seneca. Today's reading is from the first letter of Seneca I ever read. It's been on my mind because of a conversation I had with a student about what it means to be a reader - something that Seneca and I have different views on, as do Chazal.----------If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear from you!
