Stuck – 20th October 2026

Anxious at the infinite
I don’t want this freedom at all
Give me a set of blinkers
To hide my eyes from the sprawl

Confused at the crossroads
Each horizon out of vision
Clutching a map with no borders
Contemplating each decision

Paralysed by all the choices
Someone, please, close the prison door
Take away possibility
I don’t want it anymore

The paradox of freedom.


Today’s Daily Stoic poem:

Marks Of A Good Life

If lives provide the answer to meaning
There is no question other than being good
Self-control, courage, freedom and justice
Are the trees to grow in your wood
