The Shade I Will Never Sit In: A Study Of Becoming (Illustrated)

Some things are planted for shade we will never sit in -The Shade I Will Never Sit In is one person's honest attempt to leave something behind - not answers, but questions worth asking, gathered across a lifetime of building, breaking, and becoming.Drawing on thinkers from Marcus Aurelius to Rilke, from Lao Tzu to Viktor Frankl - voices the author turned to not for authority, but for companionship - this is a meditation on truth, freedom, creativity, imperfection, and what we owe the people who come after us, whether or not they ever know our names.This is not a philosophy. It is one person's questions, lessons, and principles, offered in the hope that they might become someone else's waypoint."This work is not an authority or final explanation. It documents one person's questions, lessons, and principles developed throughout a lifetime." This paperback edition includes 21 illustrations accompanying each section of the book - nearly 40 additional pages not featured in the standard digital or paperback release.
