<p>The inspiration for this episode is a sonnet–a Shakespearean sonnet–with which you’re unlikely to be familiar; </p><p><br></p><p><em>Sonnet 30</em>, you see, isn’t commonly ranked among Shakespeare’s finest works. It’s neither read to romantic lovers, inscribed on elegant tombstones, nor quoted in popular films. </p><p><br></p><p>Indeed, you’ll very seldom hear a recitation of its fourteen forgotten lines. </p><p><br></p><p>And yet, to our purposes, my dear friend, I think it’s ideally suited. </p><p><br></p><p>I hope that you enjoy this meditation on loss, regret, remorse, failure, and–that by which all sadness in life is wiped away–friends. </p><p><br></p><p>Do me the honor, my dear friend, of “liking” this episode, subscribing to this channel for daily doses of mindfulness, and sharing it with a friend. </p><p><br></p>
