Fishing For the Stoic Truth: Memento Mori

For those of you who know me; you know I love to fish. You also know that I do so on my inflatable paddle board (see, paddle board season). I love to be free on the water. By taking my paddle board out onto the lakes of Wisconsin, I feel as free as I could possibly be.

When I’m on the water, time stops. I don’t have to worry about what’s going on at work. I don’t need to check my phone every five minutes. I don’t even need to answer to my friends or family or loved one. Sorry everyone! But really, when I’m on the water, I’m at peace. I just feel liberated.
