In this episode, my guest is Simon Drew from the Walled Garden Philosophical Society. As many of you know, Simon is a friend, poet, musician, philosopher, and someone deeply interested in life’s questions. Today’s episode is part II of a series (Listen to Part I) we are calling Living the Questions. The title is inspired by a popular quote from the poet Rainer Maria Rilke who wrote in Letters to a Young Poet, “Live the questions for now. Perhaps then, without even noticing it, you will gradually come, on some far-off day, to live your way into the answer.”


In the conversation, Simon and I explore the question: How to live? and discuss, 

  • Creativity and style
  • The middle way
  • Navigating obstacles
  • The wisdom of flexibility
  • Being intentional and much more

  • ***We invite you to Live the Questions with us! Are there any questions that keep you up at night? Do you have thoughts on one of our perennial questions: How to live?; What is wisdom?; What is love?; How to think about the divine?; and What is the meaning of life? If so, we invite you to share your thoughts with us; we’d love to hear from you!
