Everyday life is, to a great degree, chaos. Uncontrollable. Uncertain. Do you want to have it just a bit easier? Follow this one advice. Come along on a nice woodland hike, lets make a fire and som coffee. Lets talk and enjoy Nature as she slowly wakes up from her winter sleep.
The ancient analogy of the dog and the cart, introduced by Cleanthes and further expounded by Chrysippus, teaches us about acceptance and harmony with the inevitable course of life¹³. The dog represents us, humans, while the cart symbolizes fate. We can either choose to walk alongside the cart, accepting the direction it takes us, or resist and be dragged along regardless. This powerful metaphor is a reminder to embrace the journey life sets before us, finding joy and contentment in the present moment.
In this video, we not only reflect on these timeless teachings but also demonstrate how the simple act of making coffee in the woods can be a meditative practice, reminding us to savor the here and now. So, grab your favorite mug, and let's steep ourselves in the wisdom of the woods and the warmth of a freshly brewed coffee.
