About this episode

This week’s missive explores relativity theory within the context of human transience. It may be a bit maudlin in parts, but I have been exploring the Japanese aesthetic concept of wabi-sabi – the delightful sadness that characterizes impermanence. Commusings is our format where we take a moment to think deeply on the topics of spirituality, philosophy, and culture.
