A Stoic Breviary: Classical Wisdom in Daily Practice

Building upon many years of privately shared thoughts on the real benefits of Stoic Philosophy, Liam Milburn eventually published a selection of Stoic passages that had helped him to live well. They were accompanied by some of his own personal reflections. This blog hopes to continue his mission of encouraging the wisdom of Stoicism in the exercise of everyday life. All the reflections are taken from his notes, from late 1992 to early 2017.

Birds for My Mother 12

This blog is already eclectic, and eccentric, enough as it is, so restraint will be in order regarding any further depictions of birds. . . .

For those who can't get enough of our fine feathered friends, the old family practice of sending their pictures as a mark of affection has two wonderful sources that have served us well:

John James Audubon's Birds of America

The National Audubon Society's Guide to North American Birds

Images from the daily family bird e-mail can always be found at the Stoic Breviary Pinterest page:
