Liam Milburn Texts
A handful of readers
have asked about a better way to access the reflections. The blog format
doesn't always make it easy to find a specific passage.
The original intent was
to collect the reflections and publish them as e-books, or perhaps even in
printed form, but that may well be too ambitious a goal. The editing and
formatting work requires far greater effort than people might realize. Many of
these scribblings had to be transcribed from old hand-written notes.
Honestly, there is also
very little demand for amateur writing like this. When in doubt, best to keep
it simple and humble.
It would be wonderful if
these texts could look more professional, but the blog has never been about
appearing fancy or making money. It is supposed to be a bit gritty, without an
ad banner in sight, and with no pressure to buy anything at all.
Many Stoic sites are
trying to sell you something, which can all too easily contradict the very
principles of Stoicism.
One fine day, there
might be a series of books that comes out of all this, but in the
meantime, you can find links to the rough versions of these texts over on the
left sidebar at https://stoicbreviary.blogspot.com/ ,
just below the "About Me" tab.
They won't look pretty,
and you will see many terrible goofs and typos. Please mercifully look the
other way when you come across them.
For starters, you will
find reflections on the Handbook by Epictetus, On the Happy Life
by Seneca, and the most extensive one, a full set of reflections on the Meditations
by Marcus Aurelius.
There are also two short
compilations, Stoic Reflections on Hardship and Stoic Reflections on
Friendship . They were next in line to go to Kindle, but they will be
probably be far happier living right here for the moment.

If the stars are
aligned, there may be more added, but we leave that to Fortune and the will of
the gods.
They might not be any
more easily searchable, but at least the texts will all be in one place, and
not in that annoying scattered and reverse order that comes with the format of
a blog.
Thank you for reading
along!
