Perennial Meditations

On the Shortness of Life with Marge Dolan


Listen Later

We turn to the philosopher Seneca (4 BCE— 65 CE) for wisdom in this reflection. The poet Mary Oliver wrote: “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with this one wild and precious life?” Around two thousand years before Oliver, Seneca wrote in his treatise On the Shortness of Life similar questions on living a meaningful life.

Seneca put it this way, "It’s not that we have a short time to live, but we waste much of it."

In today's episode, I connect with my friend Marge Dolan. Marge is someone that has an interesting and wise perspective on the world. In the conversation, Marge and I discuss many of the perennial questions on living a meaningful life.
