What do you do?
Retired (resource) crime fighter, wanna’ be philosopher, and prolific highlighter, I devote myself to reading, freelance writing, training, and keeping up hearth and home.
Why?
I write (and read) to be more philosophical about life and whenever possible, be more aware — not more afraid — of “the silent, subtle, ever-present perils.” Maybe I am trying to untangle myself, as much as possible, from the whale-lines, and as such avoid being dragged “into the profundity of the sea.”
What should we read?
Non-fiction: Four Thousand Weeks, Oliver Burkeman Fiction: Moby Dick, Herman Melville
