Pneuma by Daniel Finneran

The inspiration for this episode is a sonnet–a Shakespearean sonnet–with which you’re unlikely to be familiar; 

Sonnet 30, you see, isn’t commonly ranked among Shakespeare’s finest works. It’s neither read to romantic lovers, inscribed on elegant tombstones, nor quoted in popular films. 

Indeed, you’ll very seldom hear a recitation of its fourteen forgotten lines. 

And yet, to our purposes, my dear friend, I think it’s ideally suited. 

I hope that you enjoy this meditation on loss, regret, remorse, failure, and–that by which all sadness in life is wiped away–friends. 

Do me the honor, my dear friend, of “liking” this episode, subscribing to this channel for daily doses of mindfulness, and sharing it with a friend. 

What is Pneuma by Daniel Finneran?

Mindfulness for the Thinking Mind.

A soothing, soporific voice with which to calm and center yourself.

Episodes on themes as diverse as walking, sleeping, stretching, anxiety, worldly possessions, positive affirmations, lunch hours, and morning commutes. Meditations and sleep stories for every occasion at any stage of life.

From Shakespeare to the Stoics, Coleridge to the Platonists, the Buddha to the Transcendentalists, we'll borrow our wisdom from the best who have ever thought, and strengthen our minds with their collective genius.

I hope you enjoy this content!
