When Is A Good Point To Stop Asking Why? (Episode #160 - Musings)
About this episode
Questions can't be asked forever, so when is optimal to stop inquiring? In this episode of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: Juan's recent ankle rolling fiasco and being able to appreciate running, John Keats concept of negative capability, learning the ability to live in paradox, are we capable of making music if we had the drive and my gripe with the artistic mindset.
As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!
